Notes: My favorite thing about this song is that before last Tuesday it didn’t exist at all. I’ve had several songs on the burner in anticipation of the launch of this site. It would have been relatively simple for me to pick one out and finish it up to get this site going, but instead I decided to get into the spirit of this project by creating something totally new. I was eager to learn about my strengths and limitations when faced with a ticking clock, and I suppose that’s the point of this whole endeavor.

This song had it’s guts ripped out a few times in the process of reaching this website, which I consider a good thing. Of course there are still things that I would change, but that’s life. I’m not going to mention what they are. I’ll just let it speak for itself.

First Impression is pretty synthed out which I’m not totally used to doing by my self. Usually Nick Mastors rips the synth lines with me, so I had a lot of fun trying that role on for size. I hope you like it, and I hope that whether or not you do, you’ll come back to see what’s coming down the pipe for next week.

Before I go, I’d like to extend a warm thank you for all of the messages of encouragement that I’ve received over the past couple of days. It’s amazingly wonderful to see the level of enthusiasm that so many people have conveyed about this concept. It is also amazingly wonderful to see that so many of my friends care that this thing gets off the ground. Thank you in particular to Marissa Block who forwarded a link to this site to a good many of her friends, and to anyone else spreading the word that I might not yet know about.

Here’s hoping your Monday doesn’t totally suck.
