You’re a badass sir. Nice work!
Thanks, dude!!!
I was totally wasted when I wrote and recorded it in one night. Wife was out of town.
That song took on a life of its own.
I wrote it about one person, and all of my friends thought it was about another person.
EDIT: I think it's melodically good enough to conjure up loss for any listener. Imagine someone you miss. Imagine the good times. Imagine trying to be strong dealing with the loss. Imagine the pain and denial. It's all about "you" the listener in the end. I'm glad you put this one on. You completely made my day.
I was rockin' my Warmoth Ash Jazzmaster with Wilde L45 strat pickups. Played the whole thing in the middle position. That track was a solid state amp too. Acoustic 150 miked with an SM7B. waza delay. EQD Ghost Echo.
It was definitely inspired. I even used 3 random samples of weird stuff. a gate, a tea kettle, and a train. BTW, this was the first track I used Valhalla Vintage Verb. Absolute game changer. It's THE sound I've been looking for since 2007. Best $50 I've ever spent, maybe.
