It's just a hilarious coincidence) was the first song I started writing after joining the team. Multiple fake band albums were in progress (The Felt and [[album:squiddles|Squiddles]]), but at the time I had no idea how to even approach Squiddles (see [[track:squiddles-in-paradise|last week's post]] for details). - So, I decided I'd try to do something orchestral. I went with a few ideas, but for some reason I kept wanting to write a song with a swing feel in it, though that's more Midnight Crew than Felt, yet at the same time I wanted to do something that was clearly Philip Glass influenced. The small scraps I started before finally settling on a starting point (none of them were saved, sorry!) all shared two major common pieces: a ticking clock, and an arpeggio piano inspired off of [[artist:clark-powell|Clark Powell's]] [[track:three-in-the-morning|Three in the Morning]]. + So, I decided I'd try to do something orchestral.
