Memorial Day
It's a nice, lazy Memorial Day and I just finished writing and recording a brand new song, which will serve as a b-side on the forthcoming "Winnipeg Beach" single.
A very long time ago, I used to have an imaginary group called DSV which stood for Drees Strecker VanDoren, which included me and two fictional band members, one was a guy (Drees) and the other was a girl (VanDoren). I would draw our album and single covers, probably during class or whenever else I was bored, and make up song titles and lyrics. I only have vague recollections of this, but I remember that one of our "hit" songs was called "Do You Remember" and I only had a basic idea of how the chorus went. Well, this being memorial day, I decided to actually make a song out of that nearly forgotten idea.
In the span of about 3 hours, I sat down and came up with the music, recorded it, wrote the lyrics, and recorded the lyrics. It's pretty much done although I will do some mixing and tweaking, and possibly re-record or add a few things in the next few days, but the single will be released on June 11 so I don't have much time to futz with it.
The other b-side will be "Bad Friends," a song that was meant to go on the album but then I decided it didn't fit in and never completed it. I just need to record vocals and tweak the track a little.
We're shooting the video for "Winnipeg Beach" next weekend and I'm looking forward to it!
