     Ah, yes, Swing of the Clock. One of my better songs. Also the first song I wrote after joining the team!
+
     If you didn't know, Swing of the Clock was heavily inspired off of both Clark Powell's Three in the Morning and various Philip Glass musical compositions. It was my first attempt at doing something with a lot of orchestral instruments, though definitely far from my best orchestral composition.
+
     In retrospect, it's a bit of a boring song with its chord progression, but I'd be damned if I didn't say something about the shift from Philip Glass style clarinets to swung synth rock. I was very proud of that contrast.
+
     Also a lesser known fact: It was actually considered for a flash animation, in a similar vein to Alex Rosetti's Squiddles song. But, due to the difficulties in organizing a full song animation, especially one that was twice as long as Squiddles, it was just impossible to do realistically.

     Ah, this song. The memories.  Not really any pre-song history so I'll just get right into how it was created and why I took this song in this direction.

     <i>Swing of the Clock</i> was the second to last of a very long stretch of original songs I did in the key of F minor. It's my favorite key to write music in, but I've barely touched it since [[track:chartreuse-rewind|Chartreuse Rewind]]. (Which is next week..! Er.. I guess this week, since I was late on this. Oops.) Why? Well, too much of a good thing is a bad thing.
 
     Secondly, [[artist:lexxy|Lexxy]] [really dug this song](https://lexxercise.tumblr.com/post/2084075267/john-do-the-windy-thing-inspired-by-track-2) and it made me flip the fuck out when I found out she liked it, because she's an amazing person!

+    What he neglected to say was that this is the song that made me start loving everything he did. We then started talking a whole lot and he’s helped me out with almost every single musical endeavor I’ve done since! I love this song so much. The first time I heard the shift into the “synth rock” section my mind was blown and every table was flipped.
