This is another wuss-rock / pop tune, but I like it well enough. I’ll have to find more accurate time lines for this stuff – “Recall” was written and recorded after “Want it, Two” – still think between ‘04 and ‘06.
Process has been the same since my first cassette 4-track: commit some riffs to tape, sleep on it, keep at it, and the rest – over time – materializes. Problem, again, is that from there you should re-record everything once it’s whole in your mind. With a DAW, especially, it’s simpler not to. The speed of this is off – the whole thing should be a bit faster. Some day I’ll get to re-recording it (in the unfortunate event I continue digging through old stuff rather than create the new).
I wrote and recorded this in bits during ‘05-06, then worked at making the piecemeal recording sound better. Would’ve been better to re-record it once I knew what the song was, but such is the way of these things. Haven’t touched it in a couple of years – wanted to post it.
I’ve been working with a (very solid) web developer called Roger; one of my messages to him included, exactly, “Good work, Roger” at which point I recalled this work in (now-stalled) progress. It’s more than a bit “London Calling,” but veers into cool places.
Here’s a hacked-together 2:30 ’song:’
Good Work, Roger
