An old one that I tried recording back in January and miserably failed - I didn’t like the beats, and the lyrics weren’t quite right. So, this is a re-attempt. I still found it really tricky. It took me 3 weeks!! The drums, mostly - the drums are hard. This one is blues - it has to swing and has to have fills to keep it going (all of the demos do). Also, the guitar tone - that’s a consistent issue I have as well. The guitars were hard in general. But, it’s ok I think.
I decided this time to run the (B-standard 7 string) rhythm guitars through a clean amp. I think that was the right choice. With a tube screamer. The (drop D) bass has a bunch of distortion too but is recorded at lower volume. Sonically I think it fits somewhere between Sex for Immunity and Only Human. It’s one of my least heavy songs.
The lyrics are the oldest on the album. They are about attraction, charged relationships, and camping in a tent during an electrical storm. Lyrically this is one of my favourites:
Just bass and drums:
Just instruments:
Thanks for all the support!! Truly, it keeps me going.
I have 2 more demos to make! Then I will record the album proper.
