Day 33: Wendy's Good Subway Bad

Today I woke up on time, at D Mac’s place (who is a wonderful host) and made my way down to the subway after grabbing some breakfast at Tim Horton’s, the best coffee place in the world. The subway took me to King Street, where I took the stairs up to the street to catch the streetcar. King Street…it looked like the same stop we got on the day before…so I got on. It wasn’t too crowded; Jon Foreman was singing in my ears…I was on my way. It was all wonderful until the scenery began looking a bit unfamiliar. “I don’t remember seeing that theatre there yesterday,” I thought to myself…”unless they just built it…last night.” After about 10 minutes of unfamiliar surroundings, I figured that I should probably switch streetcars. After that the scenery started coming back, which felt good…very good.
Once there, we hung out for a bit while Tim was editing some drum tracks…then more demoing and scratch tracks…then supper – at Wendy’s! Ahh wonderful Wendys. It’s so great. This one was extra big and even had a built on Tim Horton’s. I think this is where they’ll for lunch after church, in heaven.
In the evening we focused our brains on finishing another tune – the one that I was writing some lyrics for on the subway. We changed it a bit since then, and it’s starting to sound really good. We worked on getting a solid chorus melody for a while…it was getting a bit tense to be honest, especially since we were running low on time. In the end Tim came up with something that fits it really well so we rolled with it. From that point it felt like it took a turn for the better. The bridge that we desperately needed came next, with a little less effort than the chorus, and it’s awesome. I think this may be my favorite moment on the album thus far. Hopefully you’ll see what I mean when you hear it. Woo ooh ooh woo ooh ooh…
We finished at around 1:30am tonight. It was another long one but it felt great to get that new tune completely musically. Drive home, eat, sleep…
Goodnight,
Jordan
