Although I've had a partial demo for our first song worked up for quite some time now (since early July), I've kinda delayed finishing it, but today, I actually finished fleshing out a rough demo for our second song instead! We're temporarily (and affectionately) calling this song "Pat Benetar" due to some sort of supposed resemblance to her music, but we might very well end up changing that soon.
The song is essentially a guilty-pleasure party song containing lyrics that extol how much we're going to rock your face off and such. As such, I had been nervous about writing a full-on party song, so I had planned to write a bridge and final verse/chorus that essentially laid-out for the listener that we realize we're full of it and are ultimately just a group of normal people like everyone else.
Well, today I finally took the time to write those particular lyrics, simultaneously coming up with a melody for that section, and then took to recording layered two-part harmonies on top of previously recorded material. Ultimately, while I was sort of rushed with the recording due to having to go teach right afterwards and therefore will need to go back through and clean up my diction a bit, I'm overall really happy with the lyrics/melody/energy of the new sections and am eager to hear what the rest of the group thinks.
By the way, if you're tempted to ask to hear a sample, you're just going to have to wait until we've recorded this thing properly (i.e. not with my basic home studio equipment). Until then, I'm not letting anything out publicly, as first impressions are key. No exceptions, not even for super-close friends! Sorry... =)
