I have a really old song--I'm talking 2006 old--that I never satisfyingly recorded the final vocals for. I had complete lyrics for the song and recorded a few demo vocals. The vocals didn't come out well and I never went back to redo them. Subsequently, I never released the song, originally titled "All For You," and it has just been sitting there. Here is a clip of the song--specifically the bridge--that I put up on YouTube:
The complete song is actually about 5:20 long. I have been exploring some new possibilities with this track and I'm going to write some new lyrics for it. Additionally, I'm going to trim the song down about 2 minutes which means eliminating an extended chorus section, a guitar solo and the above bridge. I already came up with a few new lyrics and melody lines. When it's completed, I think this will end up being the 10th track for the album.
I had thought about including the Christmas song I made last month on the album, in the vein of The Band having their only Christmas song on the final album they put out with the original 5 members. I'm not sure though. I'd rather keep it separate. If this old song I'm reworking goes well I'll have a solid 10 songs with a total run time of over 40 minutes. Won't need anything else but I still may throw in the Christmas tune as a bonus track.
