Song Information:

Another in my remixing binge I've been on. I originally recorded this in Garageband a while back. It is posted here in two other very different versions, so maybe it's familiar to some of you, but I'll keep those up for contrast, since this has taken a extreme turn. I wanted to improve a lot of things about it, and in the midst of re-mixing it in Logic Express 8, I re-recorded the vocal, the bass guitar, programmed new drums (EZ Drummer-Nashville Kit), added the electric guitar, trimmed back the organ and string parts from the original, and added a bit of the Ultrabeat Elements drumkit. I went for a bit more of an alt-rock Radiohead sound this time, since the original was a bit too precious, even for me.

I think I am getting the hang of Logic Express 8 finally, though I still find some things a little hard to get around. I do like the synths and drumkits. And EZ Drummer works like a charm in it. This EZ Drummer kit uses the great Harry Stinson playing the samples and there's some real nice tones in the drum sound that they got.

Song Lyrics:

Dwell

I don’t dwell on any one thing
When I open my mouth to sing
I just let the tones come out
like stones
dropping in a pond

I don’t dwell in any place
when I look to see your face
I just hope to stand alone
when I
finally come home

And the ripples move out
sustaining that movement
And the waves wear against the shore
leaving nothing to stand forevermore

I don’t dwell on a distant past
One that I’d hoped would last

I’ve moved onto better things
when I
finished my training

And the ripples move out
from where the stone was tossed
and the ripples move out
but I don’t dwell

I don’t dwell on circumstance
nothing came of the chance
I don’t dwell on those dreams
that never controlled me
