Lyrics- 
Baby I can't wait to know
Believe me I'll always be there so
Though I know I love youI find it hard to see how you feel about me'Cause I don't understand youOh you are yet to learn how to speak
When we first metI will never forget'Cause even though I didn't know you yetWe were bound together then and foreverAnd I could never let you go
Baby I can't wait to knowWhat do you think about thingsBelieve me I will always be there soYou can tell me anything and I'll listen
When we are togetherThere isn't anywhere that I would rather beThree birds of a featherI just hope you enjoy our company
It's been some timeAnd though hard to defineAs if the stars have started to alignWe are bound togetherNow and foreverAnd I will never let you go
Baby I can't wait to knowWhat do you think about thingsBelieve me I will always be there soYou can tell me anything and I'll listen
I mightEven know what to sayBut either wayAt least I'll be there
Baby I can't wait to knowWhat do you think about thingsBelieve me I will always be there soYou can tell me anything and I'll listen

Rhyme scheme- abab

Unit 13: Journal

Week 1: 02/03/26 I started this week by looking at different ideas on what to do my project on. By the end of the week I had decided to create a research based project. In my project I will be researching different drummers and styles along with including my own examples of using these techniques. I also created a timetable on what to follow each week for the project. Week 1 Evaluation: I am happy with how my progress is going this week, I managed to pick my choice for the project quite early on in the week which gave me some time to complete my timetable that I will be following for the project. I also managed to find what styles and drummers I will be researching which will be helpful when creating my presentation. Unfortunately I haven't yet began my research posts or any sort of blogpost. Targets for next week: My targets for next week will be to discuss my choice for the project with my lecturers too see if it's up to standard, I will also check to see if my timetable need...

Recording journal

6/8 The first track I began working on was the 6/8 time signature track. I firstly came up with two simple chords which were Dm7 and Fmaj7 which I found sounded well together after I started playing some random chords on the guitar to come up with something. I then created a simple strumming pattern that was played in 6/8. Once I had the input set properly and the gain on the guitar, I then used a tap tempo app on my phone to figure out what the tempo of the song was, which was 31bpm. I did struggle playing the chords for a long time as they were barre chords, so I simply recorded the first 2 bars of the song using a thick and clean amplifier on logic which I picked out, I also added an echo pedal and a retro chorus pedal which I thought sounded very well put together and it was the sound I was looking which was bright. After recording 8 bars on the guitar, I repeated this process until I had 12 bars put together. I then moved onto using a bass track which I used from logic and changed...

Contextual post

 What am I doing for my final major project? I have decided to do a research blog for my final major project.   In these blogs I will be researching different drummers and styles, I will also be including some tracks of me experimenting with these styles. I will make a total of 7 posts which are traditional drumming, jazz drumming, funk drumming, time signatures, African drumming, drum machines and a recording journal for my own tracks. Why have I decided to do this? As a drummer myself, I have very little knowledge on different historical contexts and styles of drumming. Therefore, I decided doing multiple different research posts would be very beneficial for me and would hopefully help my development as a drummer. Experimenting with different genres and styles will also help my development with songwriting.  Recording journal post: I decided it would be best to create a separate blog post to include all of my tracks, mixing and recording journal instead of keeping it do...
