This one features Treefrog "playing the wind" on a talking drum...
She’s like the wind
that moves through the night chasing ghosts
She sees the lights,
she sees the shadows and she knows
There is a difference
between the day and night…
The fact that the song starts out with just vocals and guitar is a remnant of the narrative that I originally planned for the album and was mostly dropped. I actually recorded a bass part covering just the second half of the song -- it worked well in the second-to-last verse but I couldn't come up with a part that didn't totally mess up the last verse/solo-coda section so I canned it. I never even thought about drums. They might work... because I wrote this song on dulcimer and play it on acoustic all the time, I never really think of it as a full-out rocker personally.
Wow, thanks for the kinds words. Now that you mention it, it does sound 'new agey' although daedaelusT pointed out it's similar to the new tango music (Gotan Prject, Tanghetto, etc.) which I never even realized.
The improvisation concept behind this was to only change one note at a time out of a group of three, slowly morphing the tune, except for a couple times that I forgot what I was doing.
This used the grain delay in Guitar Rig to get the shimmery sound in the background. Otherwise I don't remember what the actual improvisation thread was.
Bit of a waltz.
Everything I know about dancing I learned from watching.
This is my piano debut.
Bethan deserves some of the blame for this one somehow. Thanks.
In the morning, when we awoke, there was nothing. There were no ashes from the fires of the previous evening. The time for decisions was past. "Yes" was the answer to all questions; and none was the knowledge retained. Wisdom laughs at such folly…

ROFL!
Very ominous opening. Cool track!
