Jam Sessions: Indie Pop Girl Take 200 (jk, take 4) (Patreon)

I will truly never get over the feelings of having musicians ask to play my song again 🙈 But unfortunately for us all, this was the last take. Because even musicians gotta eat and our sushi had already arrived 😅

This was definitely our smoothest take, and it felt like we were all on the same page with every section, which was a really awesome experience. We got the slowdown for the bridge and everything!!

I have to say, though, my favourite part of this take was leading into the bridge - and you can visibly see the moment of just pure excitement and joy on my face 🙈 The lead guitar did some funky playing around with the chords, and my goooooodness! That might have been the moment I truly and properly felt like this could be a "real" song.

I will forever remember and be grateful for the basement gang for being so excited about my song that I felt like a real musician and I learned to appreciate the song I'd written 🥰

I think for me, there's often things I'm proud of in my song writing because I think something is clever lyrically, or expresses something in a way that just feels right, somehow. But it's still hard for me to feel like they're "real" songs. They're just silly little musings I wrote up in my little pink spiralbound notebook. But hearing them with supporting instruments helps me to see that they are real songs, and having musicians like them - that's a whole other level 🙈
