Getting Picky

I have now got 12 songs for the new album, and possibly 13 (how wonderfully 'unlucky'!)It's too hot to do anything: I've just cancelled going round to Gina's. I haven't seen her for so long I have almost forgotten what she looks like- except I haven't, of course. I am pretty sure we keep each other sane, and that matters a lot.After a break from hearing my new stuff, I've been properly listening this morning and doing a bit of guitar editing. I need to write more lyrics for a couple of the songs and simply play some of them better, because they are 'feel' songs rather than songs that should accurately march along. I did a lot of backing vocals about ten days ago that I'd completely forgotten about, and they do sound good.What is going to be hard is getting the lead vocals right. This is not a problem when I'm singing live, but more to do with dynamics when I'm recording. I will have to sing a lot next week, I think, after the gig in Gatehouse of Fleet and when the weather is not so…
