For song 9, I thought it was time to fire up the Titular random title generator (muse.fawm.org/titular), which served me pretty well during 50/90 2012. The present title was one of the first to come out, giving me the opportunity to find out how many cinematic metaphors I could cram into one lyric...

This is the first song of mine this FAWM to feature me playing my Seagull S12 12-string acoustic, and I hope I can find at least one more excuse to wheel it out :-) The rest of the backing was recorded/programmed almost entirely in Garageband on an iPhone 4S (with TASCAM iU2 audio/MIDI interface), except for the organ part which I played in Logic just before I mixed the song. I'm trying to teach myself more about mixing "properly" through these demos, and I'll probably remix most or all of them before I make the tracks available as an album at a later date.

Oh, and the electric guitars are "real" - amp'ed/modelled in Garageband again.

lyrics

From the day that the lights came on
My Oscar shortlist was down to one
The statuette, the second prize
To your embrace, your loving eyes

Forget the Tinseltown reception
I wish upon a star to be your film

The critics' views don't interest me
When I stay for the matinée
You're the feature - me, the cartoon
The "Heaven's Gate" to your "High Noon"

Romance, horror or comedy
Every day I want to be your film

Frame by frame - you make yourself a name
More and more - you get to write the score
