In the Mix - Midnight Hours

It's 01:15 at the moment as I gaze at the small clock on my computer monitor. I can see the wavy lines of the recorded music, blue snaking across the screen. I hear the wind lash the outside world, and a lone truck driving past in the distance. The world is so quiet, yet I am trying to finish my song. It is still in the mix at present. Thought I had it done, just to add singing and that's it. No. I'm trying some more stuff. Got to admit, I'm tired. But sometimes that is when I can things done.

I have messed about with random samples of music I have recorded before; I have also tried more tones and edited pitches, using phaser and echo effects, all to no avail! Began work again, and have realised that nothing new added is the best thing.

What I have done however is look through one of my song folders and found a really good acoustic version of 'Putting the Monster in the Box' - a song about bipolar disorder. It is a good recording.

Putting the Monster in the Box - Track 4 on 'In Cloud Cuckooland':

I'm safe, so very safe
Put the monster in the box
Beware in stares into your soul
Blackened eyes, horrid fangs
It waits, and waits, and waits,
It peers through the peephole,
Slips through the gaps to smother me, and my thoughts,

I'm safe, so very safe
Keeping the monster in the book
To me to you, to me to you
Breathless and I don't know what to do
Those thoughts aren't my own
My own thoughts are not my own
The room is padded but it feels like it's made of stone
The room in my head keeps spinning
The room around me keeps spinning
My feet above me keep spinning
My neck twists and keeps on spinning

Keep the monster in the box
Please keep the monsters away
