One of the reasons I'm not crazy about "Brooklyn Girls" is actually IN the song. The second line is, "The beat is D minor but I'm oh so major."
Well, the key is C sharp minor. The same key as "New York Raining".
I tried to identify the key without verifying it. I called it a music flex. I was off by a half-step. Just shows that, even back then, my perfect pitch was fading.
I gotta stop working with just ANYBODY. Music, especially when done on a high level, can and will take a lot out of you. And I do it at the highest level.
You know, I'm starting to realize that my time on Turn First/First Access / Republic wasn't as bad as I thought. The album was recorded in plush surroundings that made writing more comfortable, they were kind (the staff), caring... I was given money to buy my own Pro Tools set up, we went out for drinks... they just didn't want me to smoke weed. That's a BIG red flag for me.
When you smoke weed, you tap into the subconscious realm. It is here where you heard the id of everyone and everything around you. From there, you determine how to behave in your superego. I felt as though they were hiding things from me that I would pick up... not just high, but in my own environment. Granted I had an apartment, I was living with Mom and we BOTH are unfamiliar with LA.
IM SURE there's no coincidence between my breakout song and my comeback song being in the same key. Shit, both of them having something to do with New York (one I wrote, one I co-wrote) CANT be a coincidence. But it wasn't out of malice. They really wanted the best for me. I didn't squander the opportunity, but I do have to move on.
SEGA forever.
