Dave's Random Song from the Catalogue #15: I Wrote a Love Letter Tonight 

I Wrote a Love Letter Tonight
by David Husted

 

  • My writing tends toward brooding, oblique introspection. 
  • I deliberately tried to write a pop song that was opposite these traits.
  • I used a song called Amsterdam by a Guster as a reference.
  • This song was released on my album It Takes One Drop February 11th, 2017.
  • It ended up sounding like a song that could be used in a theatrical play like Grease or West Side Story.
  • I cringe a bit and smile wide at the same time.
  • I wish I had blended in my vocals more professionally but this is where I was at at the time and perhaps still am.
  • Note-to-self: Continue to look for ways to get outside my usual creation constraints, chains and locked boxes.
