CLIP: New Sad Song. Not about Gloryholes.

So, this song has been on the shelf in the works for a while. I had a rough idea of the lyrics, and no music. So, I recycled more of my own 4 chord post rock melodies, and bumped the speed up to 99bpm. It's about this girl I knew in college. I really liked her. She seemed really cool. I looked her up on FB a few years ago. She had seemingly become quite different, personality-wise. Looked like she had plastic surgery. Her name was now stupid. It made me kind of sad.

I was careless in my recording and a bunch of stuff bled together. It sucks. I had to do some creative EQ-ing.

I brought in a real vocal mic for this (Shure SM7B). The choir mic wasn't cutting it.

I tried to add bass, and it sounded like shit. Ended up using the Akai analog synth to round out the bottom. It sounds awesome.

Here’s a pic of the amps and pedals and shit.

Here’s the only pic i have of this tele dlx.

I love it. The vocals have the snarl of a cocky 80s singer but with a beautiful melancholy vibe. Like a dreamscape

Almost a Christopher Cross vibe in the beginning which really caught my interest. Great work all around!

Thanks a lot dudes! This came together quickly and naturally, but it’s hard to classify, style wise. Almost like headin for the 90’s, livin in the wild wild west vocals with guitar from the church. Like american psycho meets donnie darko.

I have gone down a rabbit hole of trying to record, engineer, and mix better.

Here is my first attempt at implementing some new tricks. I think it sounds A TON better.

Let me know what you think.
