I sent the tracks for this tune to a friend of mine who owns a professional studio. I gave him no instructions on how to mix it, as I wanted someone else's take on the music. He created a very dry, intimate mix, focusing more on the acoustic guitars…
She just a panic standin in that ring of fire
Say hey maybe Janet baby ya took it just a little far?
Maybe ya said somethin ya ought to take back?
Said she don't need to be forgiven for nothin
She the one they run into this shot gun shack
And…
what was the reason for that lie
not that she really cares or wants to know why
she just wanted to hear you deny it
n now that she has she goin down to the river quiet
(break)
now i wasn't lookin swear i was turned the other way
when she walked…
skin is a rock track, written and recorded by ourselves. we have a self built studio! where we meet every Friday night to write and record our own slant on rock music.
I composed this waltz for my niece Joana. She started playing piano this year so I just wanted to give her a goal :) I don't expect her to play this in the next years but hopefully she will be able to play it.
The song title translates to Ladybird…
The band had all gone home, and I was left mixing what we had accumulated over the last few months of work on what is to be our "final" album. Things felt over. it seemed like we had reached a saturation point, where we had driven the car as far…
Something I'm working on. I'm a sucker for 5/4 time these days.
The biggest issue is the vocals which are sort of a placeholder right now until I re-write and re-record them, or maybe even find someone who can actually sing to lay something down!
