This is an original song I've been working on with a buddy of mine (who is not a member here). He did the drums and the more melodic/picking guitar. He also gave good mixing notes and a lot of moral support along the way. Everything else is on me.

Here's the song: I Was Here (SoundCloud)

As with everything I've done up to this point (I've been recording for about a year or so), my "studio" consisted of mics/amps into a Scarlett 2i2 into an iPad running GarageBand. So there are lots of imperfections in the recording and mixing, but I'm proud of the end result regardless. Feedback is welcome!

Lyrics:

Wildflowers underneath a darkening sky
And she cries
As the hillside fills her up
She spots the sign that says "Utah 50 miles"
And she smiles
'Cause the time is almost up

[Chorus]
I just wanna scream "I was here"
And chisel my name into the canyon wall
And when the echo screams "I was here"
I won't have to feel alone at all

She breathes deeply of the evening mountain air
Aware
Of everything at once
She floats above the troubles down below
'Cause she knows
There's nothing left but love

[Chorus]

Nothing left but love
(I was here)

Even the losers get lucky sometimes
