I think I love you
I have a brand new song online now, called “I think I love you“. As always, you can download the song for free and share it with anyone you like.
I had a lot of fun writing and recording this one, at least after I fixed the shockmount that broke. I wanted to write a love song, but realized it’s quite hard to do that without having it sound like a cliché or incredibly cheezy. Everyone always “shines like a sun” and “flies on the wings of love” in love songs, so I figured I would try to use phrases that you don’t hear in love songs that often to make it a bit more interesting.
There are no drums in this song, only bass, guitars and vocals. The acoustic guitar took a while to record, it’s surprisingly tricky to play a fingerpicking style accompaniment completely evenly and with an even tempo. I re-did it several times before I was happy with it. The electric guitar parts were fun too, I pretty much just hit record and improvised until I got something that sounded cool. All in all, I’m pretty happy with this song. 
Now, only two more songs to record for my album!

Rainhat–I really love your music–and I love this new song. You have such a soothing and magical sound–I could seriously listen to your music all day long. I’m so glad I found your blog!

Well done Rainhat! I found your melody extremely soothing – although complicated, as you discussed, it’s simplistic in ways that put me at ease. (Hope that came across right!)
Nice!

Your music has a soothing magical quality. Your voice is mellow and beautiful. The guitar playing reminds me of Kings of Convenience and Simon and Garfunkel. This and the other one I heard from you are simply wonderful. Someday…you will definitely have an album out!

Thanks! Simon and Garfunkel are some pretty good role models for guitar playing, I love their music. I haven’t heard of Kings of Convenience, I’ll have to check them out.
A self-published album is in the works, I have 2 more songs to record and a bit of tweaking and then it’ll be done. Shouldn’t be too long now.
