Now it’s raining in London.
Well, I don’t actually know that. But it probably is. Because London is a wet-ass place. It’s always raining up in them parts.
In actuality, I’m quoting a song lyric from my latest track that I’m posting here, titled “London Rain.” What a name. Evocative. Provocative. Moody… Yes ma’am.
In all truth, I recorded this song over two years ago and never published it. I recently made a few tiny edits and figured I should throw it out there. To say I recorded it is a bit generous. This song is the result of the first time I messed around with pre-recorded loops in Garageband. Literally none of the music is written or recorded by me. I just compiled it. I suppose that makes me a composer, and I swing a baton like no other.
Of course, all the nasally vocals are me. Unfortunately, undeniably me. But yeah, the rest is Garageband. And the song is still, overall, pretty low quality. Many things could be added, tweaked, and improved. However, I want to improve at completing things and moving on. I have too many partially complete projects and a massive backlog of unexecuted ideas. Better to call an imperfect thing done if it creates the space for embarking on new goals.
It’s not a complex song, but it was fun to compose the general bones for the thing in an hour or so. This was revelatory, as I was accustomed to spending eons writing, composing, and recording all my own shitty music. Gotta say, it’s quite convenient to borrow a premade loop on occasion.
Now, as to the content of the song, I’ve never been so sophisticated to have had a foreign lover in London, but if I did, and if that naughty, two-timing lady dumped me, and I happened to be feeling really sad and/or mad about it while moping around in the London wetness, then this would be my jam.
As always, I outsourced my artwork to an AI image generator. I asked the AI to depict a moody, rainy scene in London. I then told it to add a man sulking in the foreground. I then thought about what I would personally do if I was in this situation. Probably get drunk and binge eat. So I asked the AI to create an image of a man sobbing while pigging out on a large helping of fish and chips.
