So, part of the point of this here musical blog will hopefully be for me to track the evolution of songs, from first recorded ideas to finished song. This particular post is where this comes into play. 'Welcome To Smithers' was the first song I came up with in the week following our move here; this entire thing was composed and recorded in the space of a few hours while I alternated between staring out the window at the mountains and checking job listings online, wondering what I was going to do with myself (although that's another story for another day). Anyway, this is a more or less unfiltered musical expression of uncertainty tamed by incredible beauty. I know, it sounds sappy, but if you'd been here in the fall you'd probably just go with it.
