Writing lyrics is interesting when the full extent of the band is you singing and a bassist. Essentially the rhythms need to hang as counterpoint to the music. Interweaving the harmony with the bass line. There is both more room to experiment, not being hedged in by both the egos of other musicians and the instrumentation. Still I wish we had someone else to collaborate with. I say this after 6 months of practices and we are really getting the tunes down to the point where playing somewhere might be an option. It’s like I’m looking for a acceptable reason to slow us down. Self sabotage and self realization, hand in hand.
