about

This is a short opening track to set the overall tone for the album with a drum line from EZDrummer 2 with human bass (direct into the board), and a pair of acoustic guitars tracked against one another. (MXL 550/551 paired Left, then again Right, totally four tracks.) Also a simple vocal harmony pair, dotted with occasional third part in the alto range. These were all brought in with the MXL 550. This is about the process of birthing a piece of art, torn from within.

lyrics

Lyrics:
“More of the blood letting, drop a pint and see if I can get closer to what’s inside of me; moved on from the struggle and begging, a steady job and life becomes so easy, But then I’m still me…

And as I contemplate the total cost of entry, will I be losing my edge and laying off all my sentries; Have I taken the easy way out, a vacation from, easy access to all my doubt?

Or does the simple life just make it harder, does all this newfound comfort take me farther; from the one, the four and the five, from those three chords and the truth, that make me feel so alive.”
