    {"coolThingsLearned":"How to make the hook fresh. Glad it turn out the way it did","toolsUsed":"Logic Pro","happyAccidents":"I said “She’s taking her dress now” instead of “He’s taking her dress now”but i worked out cause it’s the second iteration of that verse.","didntWork":"Instrumental and ending part. i could made it more like a build up."}

    {"coolThingsLearned":"I rediscovered my love of home recording and learned some new tips and tricks for mixing and mastering","toolsUsed":"I made the recording on Ableton Live and used a Roland Juno 106, a drum sample, and my voice.","happyAccidents":"I recorded the main vocal three times and kept each one of the takes. All 3 together really expanded the vocal track. ","didntWork":"I tried including the \\"Brightside\\" guitar riff in the cover but I couldn't make it work with the rest of the ideas I laid out"}
