Archtop Guitar, electric guitar and Roland vocoder. Drums are BFD2 and a tabla I picked up that week at a thrift shop.

Archtop, electric guitar. No vocoder.. Not so sure on my voice for this one as I had a cold for pretty much the whole month of Feb.. Also think I put too much over all "warm plate" reverb on every track (that was a last minute RPM deadline decision)

Started with a little guitar riff on the archtop, Played roland rs9 string synth through tremolo amp. Also has my tenor steel pan played live.

Archtop song... usually I play this faster... Vocoder for the lyrics... Drums BFD2.

I miss the smell of your hands
Your breath
The feel of your skin
We didn’t have to talk
Just understood
What the other was
We are of the same
But we knew
The end would come
Time is no friend
We are not healed
The pain is old
But feels new…

I hear you
Calling my name
Like a whisper
And a scream
You haunt me
Forever
Twist your arms
Around my neck
In a dead embrace
Locked with love
You haunt me
You haunt me

From the walls
To see what
Was underneath
You left no…
