  • day 115: Farewell Transmission

    Farewell Transmission, by Songs: Ohia.

    It didn’t take that many days, after all. But, I’m late, by about 100 minutes for the first time in the project on day 115, for a good reason.

    the real truth about it is

    no one gets it right

    the real truth about it is

    we’re all supposed to try

    This song is in part yet another cover of a cover, because I heard it first by Waxahatchee & Kevin Morby, and it blew me away, and it came with a story about Jason Molina and Songs: Ohia, which I had never heard, and then I did, and man oh man, either version of this song gives me chills every damn time.

    I spent… a lot of time on this one today, and the edit is still a mess, including a “crap the computer went to sleep and this is the third different way I’m supposed to sing this part” video edit. And I REALLY need to learn how to splice loops properly so they don’t slip out of sync HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE idk idk idk.

    But I love it anyway.
