First of all, I am moving back to Chicago! My relationship with Caitlin is over and I must move on and get back to my life in the Windy City. I've actually been sitting on this recording for at least a month now, if not longer. OK, so, this is an original. First one recorded, and I'm really happy to finally be posting this song. I wrote this when my (new) ex asked me to write a song for her. This is the result of that request.
After I wrote the song, it ended up evolving a lot, and I found the process to be very educational as I'm learning to flex my brand new song-writing skills. One part of that process was realizing what elements were missing in the song, and finding ways to fill in the gaps. After I recorded myself singing with the guitar, I decided on a whim to record myself playing trombone along with that track. I recorded myself twice, listened to both trombone tracks over the original, then listened to all three tracks together.
The result is not meant to be musically perfect...I know there are some messy parts, some missed notes and general disorganization. This reflects something about what the song is about for me. I hope you enjoy!
