Its one of my favorites of yours
the verse melody came to me in a dream (about a year earlier). but when i chose that one for the next song (later) i decided to "do it right" ............. it was written while cruising around google streetview. almost as if written while driving. i made no deadline and was not demanding myself to get the answers particularly quickly. in retrospect this might have been a mistake. when it came to the recording process, i also was transitioning to different software which would allow me to do my own computer programming to get more of the functioning i want. also a massive rabbit hole. when the song (audio) was finally completed, my mind was already racing with potential strategies to transform everything so i never take too long ever again. i was fantasizing about the ancient old days where people used to use 4-track machines. i was fantasizing about the old days when people used to be able to record an entire album in a day. i was obsessed with the idea of putting insanely simple limitation rules on the process, in the future. for the video i experimented with a "2 day or reset" strategy, where i'm forced to abandon the work if the video is not completed in 2 days. there were reasons why i thought this would be better than a simple deadline strategy. this evolved into a section-by-section "1 hour or reset" strategy. it was thrilling in some ways, but ridiculously exhausting in other ways. i ended up giving up on that strategy, but i still ended up finding inspiration for quickness by looking back to some of the files for "best friends with my own front door", to try to observe and analyze how quickly i was actually making the moves, in the video production. this inspired me to get into some quickness. in any case, the video was completed very quickly after i'd been stuck in the song production forever
