This is a fun upbeat song that sat unfinished for a while. I think it sort of has a Beatles/Elliott Smith vibe with a garage rock twist. It's a bit sloppy with the drums but I think I like it that way.

Song #38: The Optimist
This one is inspired by the beatlesque rootsy-guitar sound of Elliott Smith's album, Figure 8, and in particular the songs "Stupidity Tries" and "Pretty Mary K."
The arrangement is fairly straight forward: one vocal, one acoustic guitar, two electric guitar, bass and drums. I don't usually have very many guitar solos in my songs but this one seemed appropriate.

Song #5: Petals + Roses
This week's song is super chill and inspired by Elliott Smith (especially the double tracked vocals and guitars). It's about boldly going into a relationship without knowing what the outcome will be. I'm not really sure where to take this song in terms of additional arrangment. Any ideas?
