Just rediscovered Song Two demos from early 2015 and completely changed my plan for the song back to it. Somehow it had evolved over time from an surreal, emotion piece with a bunch of piano arpeggios to some sort of tribal shit. Glad I figured out that the original direction is the way to go before recording.

It’s funny how much I’ve overthought and over-planned this record over the past three years to the point where I’m just now re-realizing the original vision, arrangement-wise.

I think I want to redo the piano with a felt sheet and the microphone really close so that it has more warmth and texture and sounds less like a boring sterile piano. And maybe try to edit down the song again because I feel like it kind of drags on for too long. There must be some part I can get rid of.
