It's been about a week since you've had some audio, and I haven't really posted many songs the past few days (mostly just awesome artwork) so here's a little extra for tonight.
If you remember, or just want to check the post of Everything (nothing), this song is more of a free form story. The audio follows that until towards the end when it gets a little more structured. Recording this was kind of interesting because I had to do it all in one take on my little 4-track. Because of how it was written, I wasn't sure how the lyrics would fit into the guitar line so I couldn't just record the guitar part and then overdub the words. You can tell that certain parts of the song were sung with a little bit of guesswork, as if I were a little unsure how to fit them.
If I remember correctly, I think I only practiced Everything (nothing) once between the time I wrote it and the time I recorded it. A lot of my earlier songs happened in a similar fashion. Last Waltz took about five minutes to write and another five minutes to record. But back to the matter at hang, this song definitely has that kinda wandering feel that the lyrics have. I think it's interesting. Hope you enjoy...
