Benchs project: Part 2: First album ideas

Ok, so as I promised heres some ideas. I thought id start at the begining, being as thats usualy a pretty gd place to start. You see, I was just gonna do like a mind map scrap book style thing where I just fart out all my thoughts in dribs and drabs and be really cool! But instead I'm gonna do this properly and in sections, alright? So, i've kinda got a fixed view of what the first album should be, and sound like, but will probably flow differently and fluctuate dramatically due to stuff goin on around.......so far stating the fuckin obvious in songwriting (big claps for ben!!)
So, as this island sleeps under a cold blanket, my mind warms to potential album starters (hmmmmmm potential future lyrics, i said potential!)
Ok so heres what i got so far.....
.......track 1) = A multi layed piano appegio background slowly gets deeper until the vocals come in. I kindof want to tell a story with the first album thats really descriptive. The basic story ive got in my head so far is of a guy who wakes up under a tree in the autumn and has a pain in his chest, but he doesnt know why, or why hes there. As the album continues, you learn why. The only way this kindof developing unravelling narrative could work is if it was heavily descriptive and even obvious in places, but i dont really give a shit, as long as the key ideas and emotions are behind it (ooooooooooooo fukin get me) So, as the first track plays, the listener has an image of a confused, lost individual contemplating his existence while dead leaves float down on him, thus creating a metaphor for his world falling apart and burying him.
Right, time for lunch...................
