Q: How long did alphabet shuffle take, and what was its backstory?
A: looks like i created the music proj file june 4, and the final video was done june 14. this doesn't really include the writing. although the last line of the bridge (alright, etc) was written this month. Original idea is from early 2012. it's a floater, it's been kicking around in the system for a while, and got finished little bits at a time. 10.18.13 looks like i solidified the chord specifics of the "tags" (the extra wxyz's, etc) and also started the bridge (up until 'i'm alive'). then last month when i was trying to find a path back into songs (and start actually choosing songs for once instead of randomizing them) this one was the only sensible starting point. and i finished the bridge and just settled for basic "AABA" form, and figured if anyone complains there's no jokes, oh well. The video making went surprisingly fast. was able to really just screenshot the letters and import them fast and just start messing with them without having a plan. looking forward to being that bold in the future
