Music Journal, Entry No. 2 - "Musty Pages and Pine" | Sarah Joy

Notes:

I wanted to see how many moods I could travel through in a relatively short song using a limited number of instruments.

Also, I was curious to see how a mostly upbeat folk accompaniment would contrast with darker lyrics.

In terms of production, I'm not very happy with my use of compression, but that will be next week's challenge. For this song, I hope that my level of production is good enough to not distract from the overall feel and message.

Lyrics:

At the corner of Houston and 4th
A library stands four stories high
I lie in the park beside her
With musty pages and pine

Often I see an old friend
Muttering half sentences to the sky
I wave but I think I've lost him
To war stories and wine

Throughout early autumn
Proper and solemn
Cast by Athenaeum's form
A shadow comes marching
Stubbornly charging
The last of our summer warmth

Last of our summer warmth

Often I see an old friend
Moldering to echoing battle cries
I'd learn but I think I've lost him
Within musty pages and pine

Throughout early autumn
Proper and solemn
Cast by Athenaeum's form
A shadow came marching
Stubbornly charging
The last of our summer warmth
