this is the mix so far, pending a new vocal to replace the guide and a 12-string part. maybe a bit of piano? lyrics from the muted vocal are about seeing the ex you upended your life to help out in the arms of another. cheery! tik-tok…

needs a new vocal, so i muted it. also plan on replacing the DI acoustic/electrics (which i don't think were played all that well) with one miked acoustic guitar and maybe a clean Tele playing a different part. EP needs some corrective EQ to sit…

Recorded in 2005. The keyboard sound in the second half is a backwards electric piano processed through a triggered filter (kind of like a Mutron III). Muted the vocals cos I'm not too pleased with the lyrics or performance.
