More On The Green Line

Alright, it is high time for another blog. So, here is another album update.

Last post, I told you the title of the album and a bit of the reasoning behind the title. I am of the opinion that names should always be chosen carefully, and this carries over into what I do with making my own album titles. Speaking of which, soon after I finish "The Green Line," I will start on two more projects.

The first of these is an EP that will show the B-sides, also known as the songs that didn't make my first album. I'm thinking that I will release that around February and maybe title it "Love On the Green Line: The B-sides."6 songs that didn't make the album will comprise the contents of this record.

The second project will be my second LP, and I play to release it around June 2013. This project actually already has a legitimate theme to it. It will be called "Speaking In Cursive: A Night at the Bar" or some variation of that. The idea is to explore a night of drinking with a person who is lost in their life. I have yet to decide what sort of lostness I'll use, but that is the basic theme. There is plenty of time to flesh it out.

So, be on the lookout for those.

That said, here is more about "The Green Line." Here is my current tracklisting, though the current order is subject to change:

Current Tracklisting:

8th Street Station

1. You Told Me You’d Be Back
2. Walking On the Sky
3. Scarlet Moon
4. n/a
5. Don’t Forget Me (When I Go)
6. Wishing Well

25th Street and Beyond

1. Something Strange
2. Sparrowheart (Kyrie)
3. Take Me Down
4. n/a
5. My Dear Flower
6.  Wagon Wheel

The cover songs, 'Wagon Wheel' and 'Wishing Well,' are in stone. I am going to keep the album at 2 covers because it costs money to put those on the record. Also, these songs are really far along and I don't need to belabour the work I am doing.

The two n/a parts are cleary where I want to place songs that are not finished yet. i'm not sure which ones should make it or not. It is a tough decision that I revel in making. Making this album is so much and sincerely hope that you all enjoy it! Mark your calendars, cause "The Green Line" comes out October 13th.

As a final note, I am releasing 3 singles this month and will update on when that happens for sure. Due to the lull it takes to get online, it might not be July 'til they are actually available. If that happens before hand then I will let you all know!

Thanks for stopping by!
