After I was able to figure out the melody and chords for Still Alive, I recorded it so that I could reference it for later when I would actually go back and redo the song using similar instruments that were used in the original song. I didn’t want to notate it because I remember doing this during a busy schoolweek, so I recorded it playing it slowly and “stretching” the chords out into arpeggios in the beginning so that it’d be easy for me to remember how to play it if I did end up forgetting.

The other version of Still Alive with the guitar, drums, and other instrumentals is set on the back burner for now where it’s “done” but not yet “done-done”, if that makes any sense.
