Today I sat down at the keyboard and began recording the new piano tune I'd come up with days earlier. After numerous attempts, I managed to get one I was happy with. I then decided to use the 'Evil Eye' lyrics I'd also recently written. The vocals turned out well on the first take, and so I left it at that. I then added some noise in the background to fill out the song a little.
The lyrics themselves are about feeling like that guy that never gets the big break he wants, needs or deserves. The guy who sees those around him accumulating wealth or success and has little chance to do anything about it. The guy who hates others for doing well; or is envious when they have something he wants. The lyrics and experiences are based around thoughts and feelings I have. An example of this is that I don't drive. And when I get fed up of walking and busing it everywhere, I get envious of those who can drive. Sounds stupid, but it is true.
I'll have a double check from time to time to see if I can improve the song in anyway, but I want to keep the songs quite plain and to the point. I also added some french speech behind 'To Scratch an Itch' and edited it a little so it sounds a little basser, as I felt it was sounding a little flat.
So that's another new addition to 'Overzealous Work Ethic'.
