IS A RECORDED SONG EVER FINISHED?

You've recorded a song. You feel happy with it. Then you start to think that something is missing (maybe an extra guitar part, or more vocals etc). You try various different ideas. Some work, some don't. A quote i have used before is: 'Less is More'. Sometimes we start to add more & more instruments. The song starts to feel cluttered.

I suppose its like an artist. Sometimes when an artist paints, draws etc they too may feel the need to add more. Again the question's could be eg, 'Is my painting finished?' Or should i add more?

So 'Is a recorded song ever finished'?

 

Until next time

I’m also an activist and this really influences my music and the lyrics I write. I love lots of different genres so have quite an eclectic style and like to throw myself into different music scenes. I’m really into the jazz scene and the punk/DIY scene in London at the moment.   How did you get into music?

I’ve tried lots of different aspects of music out though, from leading an African singing and drumming ensemble to starting a rock band. I just love music in all its forms.   What instruments do you play? Guitar’s my first instrument but when I’m recording my own mu
