It laid dormant for years until I heard it on an old cassette a couple of years back.  I started work on it, coming up with the acoustic guitar part that added a bunch of finger picking around the basic chords.  I released it probably in 2016 time frame.  After that, I kind of felt embarrassed a little bit, because I don&#8217;t write that kind of lyric very much, and it is the sentiment of a much younger man.  I buried it, pulled it down off of Spotify and figured it would just languish on the garbage heap of my personal history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few months ago, I thought about it again and figured that I liked the chord structure, so I should probably write a new lyric.  I pulled it into Cakewalk Sonar and started reworking some of the tracks.  I quite liked a lot of what was going on, and I made it better by redoing a few things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It got about time to rewrite the lyrics, and by that time I was thinking that I didn&#8217;t mind the current version that much and it was pretty cool as it was.  So the Hell with it, I am going to release it again, and I am not going to be embarrassed by it, I think it is pretty cool for the genre that it is.  And so what, I&#8217;m older now.  So what!  So WHAT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.baselines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/all-songs\/mp3\/Like_A_Moth_To_A_Flame_2024.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1017\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/baselines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/moth_to_flame_bandlab-1017x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/baselines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/moth_to_flame_bandlab-1017x1024.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/baselines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/moth_to_flame_bandlab-894x900.jpg 894w, https:\/\/baselines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/moth_to_flame_bandlab-768x773.jpg 768w, https:\/\/baselines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/moth_to_flame_bandlab-1526x1536.jpg 1526w, https:\/\/baselines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/moth_to_flame_bandlab-2035x2048.jpg 2035w, https:\/\/baselines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/moth_to_flame_bandlab-636x640.jpg 636w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1017px) 100vw, 1017px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<script>\nvar zbPregResult = '0';\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wrote some of this when I was but a young 20 year old, banging away on the piano.
