Dark Places

Writing this album has been exhausting. It started with one song that had a slightly darker theme than my normal work, and evolved into an entire project that reflected the ugliest parts of my life.

My last album had some personal shit in it, but it never got as personal as these new songs. Writing these songs has put me in a strange place. You would think that writing these songs would be liberating, and would give me some solace, but in reality it has prevented me from moving on properly. Writing (and lately, recording) this album has put me in a perpetual bad mood, causing me to alienate a lot of my friends and family. My own sister is disturbed by my attitude as of late, which is why I want to finish this album as quickly as I can.

An Exercise in Futility is not an optimistic album. It's an album that provides no answers, no hope, and no way out. It is merely a reflection and recollection of some of my worst days alive. Very personal, very introspective.

I didn't make this album with the intent of becoming a famous musician. I made it as an outlet for some of the horrible thoughts and feelings I deal with on a daily basis. The hope being that other people, with similar thoughts and feelings will be able to relate, and perhaps reap some kind of personal connection with the songs therein.

But then again maybe everyone will just hate it. It wouldn't surprise me. The world seems hell bent on optimisim right now, and I can't say that I blame it.

Regardless, hopefully from a musical stand point, and from a writers standpoint, some of you might just find some use for An Exercise in Futility.

I can safely say, after I'm done recording it and promoting it, it's not an album I will listen to very often, if ever again.

Whatever album I decide to record after this one, I can assure you will have an entirely different theme.

Today...

Today I finished writing the last song for An Exercise in Futility. It has now taken complete form as a concept record to me. It's been rather mysterious for a while. I'd be lying if I said I knew the direction I was going 100%. But today that direction was made abundantly clear. I'm so anxious to discuss it, but my better judgement prevents me from discussing any details onto the revealing conclusion of the record. I'm very pleased with what I have written and am even more pleased with what has been so far recorded. I look forward to your reactions.

Last night in the studio.

Got to Eltown Studios around 3 in the afternoon. Put down a new song. I'm definitely feeling it. I'm not much of a singer, so I had Chander do the chorus. Turned out great. Right now I'm cballing the song No Prayer, but I'll probably change it later.
