I love it when a song finally comes together after weeks, sometimes months of being picked up, put down, taken to bed, taken out on the bicycle, and even at times forgotten. I love the dilemma at this point about whether to have a double verse & bridge before the first chorus, or a single one.
I love it when you finally get a middle-8 together that changes key and comes in and goes out perfectly. I love it when you get to delete or scribble out those bits of unfinished verses in order to neaten up the arrangement.
But what I don't like so much is losing lines like 'department store stairwell snog'. I hate to let them go. But I just can't seem to get this is in.
The song, which is about the experience of returning to my hometown, about feeling "invisible" there, and it inspiring me to contemplate the path I have taken since leaving , and what I have achieved, and who I am and stuff, needs a title.
I don't think 'Department Store Stairwell Snog' is it. Maybe 'Department Store Stairwell Song'?

'Hard To Let You Go'
BTW - I've got a bag of songs for teh solo project that I need considerable help with. Let's talk?
Depends - was the department store stairwell snog important in the story or not... or am I losing the plot again?
I'm thinking "The Invisible Man'
The chorus includes the line "Once you were everywhere/Now you are invisible"
'Department Store Stairwell Snog' sounds like either a Bauhaus song title or a Fall one.
