Blue Book #3 – Proverbs

This one has been through a pretty public metamorphosis. For contrast: One year ago, raw and hard was the best I had. Fun to play, fun to make, but not entirely consistent with the spirit of the song, really. Click for the original post.

Months later, I was playing it with friends late at night, and the result was gentler and more intimate. Of course I ended up liking it more – the mellow atmosphere, the subtle spaciness… For a long time I thought that this version was the keeper, but in time I saw that the song was still incomplete.

So, at last, to the current version. The biggest changes here involve the lyrics, which I cut and arranged to fit much tighter than before. I’ve added new instruments as well, particularly in the final section, and the result is much more satisfying to my ear. I still need to polish the middle section, but there’s probably only ten minutes of work left on this song and then finally, after more than a year in the shop, I can call the song done. Download Free
