First Take Friday - Episode #24

Tale of the Tune:
I’ve had a super busy week with the day job, so I did not have time to write a new song this week. This one is an oldie, but a goodie.

I wrote this tune back in 2004 as a joke. It was written about a dream girl back then. A fantasy. A girl that didn't exist. Too sweet.

Then I met my wife, and I realized that this song was about her. Yep, I’ve been dreaming about her since forever apparently. Well, at least since 2004. I'm not surprised though because she is dreamy! Check out my 2014 playlist on youtube and you can hear a slightly different version of this song. Which one do you like better? This First Take Friday version was recorded at 5:35pm on Thursday, March 15, 2018 after a long and exhausting day at the day job.  I think I was taking out some of my stress on the vocals.
