Bob Jr: Home

...... we rest.

So, congratulations to fellow RPMers who completed the task . This is day 29 and now we can rest. We managed to deliver our CD in person at the wire without much issue. Although, it did begin to snow. The good news about the pending snow storm is it will allow March 2 to be called "the day we get back to life"

I still feel February was lost, but on the other side of it we have 9 new songs and a demo CD that's not too bad. If the snow day happens we may even get the songs uploaded to the web tomorrow.

So here we are on day 27 (almost 28). Things are put together and mixed. Even have files transferred and giving a last listen in the morning. There's always some caution to be taken when having the help from the captain while doing mix down.

All in all we're in good shape. Even the cover art is just about complete so Christy won't have to draw it while the cd is burning. Now we just need to get some cds and we'll be all set to burn and print tomorrow and of course deliver to the wire on Sunday. There's something very satisfying about handing it in personally rather than mailing it.

It is pretty interesting that we're actually at a comfortable spot to complete this thing this year. Especially when a few weeks ago it was going to be a thrown challenge. So here's to the last 25 hours of February, enjoy and good luck. We'll see everyone at the finish.

Vocal tracks are done. (unless we decide to change some things during mix down) This afternoon lead tracks will be done and the mix down process commences. I hate to say this, but we're actually ahead of where we were last year and I have no idea how it happened as it was a slow start and life is still getting in the way.

Anyway, I figured I'd post the lyrics to one of the tunes because it sums up the whole project:

Heavenly Hell by Bob Walker, Jr

To wallow in the madness
An empty mind and a deadline
It’s the destiny for me
So all of the world can hear

I shut off all of my senses
To connect with my true sight
Try to listen to the silence
So the music will come to life

Welcome to my heavenly hell
I’m really tired but I’m doing well
I’m really not crazy, It’s a challenge to me
Now I’m burnin’ in my heavenly hell

Only twenty-eight days
And it comes to an end
I’ll drown in this manmade ocean
I’m way over my head

I’ll probably die penniless
But I’m doing the right thing
What’s bad for my body
Is good for my head
