My next step will be to record some lead vocals, which I will do as another track in Soundtrap. I may add some more live keyboards (myself, playing, as opposed to loops) at the end, to give the second half of the song more texture. In regards to vocals, I aim to do my best, but in my mind, I keep wondering: Who else could I ask to sing this? Or help me sing this? A backing track might make all the difference in the world.
One of the things that intrigues me about taking a song from its core elements and building it out as the different journeys it can take. For example, in a documentary on U2's Joshua Tree, Brian Eno threw around the faders and demonstrated how the track (might have been Street with No Name, can't quite remember) could have been a Depeche Mode song. This is one of the things that always interests me with the Song Exploder podcast. I wonder then if you ever scrap a take and build a song up again with a whole different vibe.
