Music Set To Blaze

After what has seemed much longer than my absence from therecording studio, with the exception of a few token ventures, I have re-commenced recording my latest album this afternoon.

Initially, the lack of motivation to record was getting me down but some absolutely logical words from my manager, Haych Storm©, who said to relax and not stress over it, the self-imposed pressure to record was gone.

During this more relaxed mindset I have jotted down countless notes, lines and so forth. I had one particular track so 'mentally completed' that it should be completed by tomorrow afternoon if I continue at today's. I am certain that the continued recording of this track combined with lyrics that I have jotted down will fall into place. This is generally what happens.

Gone are the days of recording from 8am. to 2pm, writing a quick blog in the afternoon and then returning late afternoon and record to 3-4am. This could go on for days....many days sometimes. Since being diagnosed with and subsequently treated for manic depression, this frenetic pace an outrageous hours are no more. This was something that I didn't factor in to my lengthy lapse in recording. It makes perfect sense now.

So....now that I've spent considerable time in the studio today and had time to do a brief blog about my return to recording I guess that you, dear reader, can run around and excitedly tell all of your friends that "Bob Findlay IS recording a new album!"....*he says smirking to himself.*

New Song Release "Teach Me"

My latest musical offering has been some time in the making but I think it's worth the wait. "Teach Me" is something of a diversion lyrically as it enters the realm of certain undertakings  of consenting adults involving an array of "accessories" and so forth in a tongue-in-cheek manner. 


The song is a raunchy number but draws short of out-and-out bad taste; infact the overall feel of the lyrics are intended to be light-hearted with no coarse language. It is this frame of mind that I entered my home recording studio.


The song begins with a rather smooth, rolling rhythm which carries on through each chorus, including the instrumental break where I use a light wah-wah effect on the guitar to add a little more colour.

The verses in the song are a definite and deliberate counterpoint to the flowing choruses. The verse tempo is almost military in nature and inspired by 'The Shape I'm In' by "The Band." It is also during the verses where the lyrical 'action' happens.


You will note that the single has a 'weird' price. There are two reasons for this. Firstly I have never delved into this realm and cannot foresee me doing it again. Secondly, the track will not feature on any upcoming albums.


As mentioned above, "Teach Me" is intended as a light-hearted jaunt and not intend to offend anyone in any way. The songwriting process in this song was particularly enjoyable. I hope that you too enjoy the track and find it worthy of a place in your digital library. You can download "Teach Me" directly below this entry.


On that note, I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
