I wrote this tune in the last two weeks. It took a couple of days to write the musical structure and about five days to write the lyrics. I tend to compose first and add lyrics afterwards. In this particular case the tune came together very quickly. I usually have a more difficult time with the lyrics because I don’t want them to be boring or too easy to decipher. On a song like this I did a couple of passes, changing and tweaking things after rehearsing the song. The tune is called “If Not Today” and it’s a bit of social commentary on the divisive political climate we exist in right now. It also features the first use (at least I think) of the word “vantablack” within the context of song lyrics. That’s the scientifically developed coating that absorbs 99% of emitted light....
