snake (demo)

Another entry in my recent demo series of posts. I posted a not-quite-done version of the track here, featuring piano and overly heavy drums. It's a song about the old classic video game "Snake". I'm sure I'll revisit the "proper" recording some day, but in the meantime, this is a nice performance.

For anyone interested in the evolution of songs, note the subtle lyrics changes between the two versions. The company snake became the avatar snake, and he went from losing himself in pursuit of a sale to losing himself in his quest to prevail.

Hey you... this is quite nice.

I kind of want it to break out in a laid back drum groove with some electronic blips interplaying between the channels.

This version almost works as an intro to the other, as well.

Thanks -- yeah, I think I'll do a laidback drum beat on the final recording. The electronic blips is an interesting idea, I might give that a go.
