Proverbs - Final
September 9, 2008 6:20 am Album Songs, Folk PopAnother song in the can. This song really came together for me with Morgan’s contributions, not the least of which was singing backup. A lot of differences from the last attempt: I redid the main guitar line because I didn’t like the sound of the earlier recording, even though the playing was fine. The bass is also Morgan, and it just fills out the song for me. I added some little solo acoustic licks here and there, but I particularly enjoy the line over the second part of the chorus, where we sing “It’s alriiiiight, everything’s alriiiiieeiiyaiyaiaiighhht…” (and that is the correct spelling, incidentally). There are also subtle synthesizer bits scattered throughout.
So much fun to restructure a song. Remember that this used to be a very hard driving electric piece, but with the help of friends it was able to find itself.
I’m moving again this coming week, so I’m taking another break. Sad but true. But I’ll be back recording another song soon enough, hopefully, in a brand new studio in a brand new house.
