so, we've decided to release a bunch of cool album related stuff to you guys every monday...
from now, right up until the new record, "some mad hope," is released on august 14th.
kind of like hanukkah... but spread out over 10 weeks. and without the hebrew. or the candles...
ok, here's the first installment.
it's the fourth song on the record. it's called 'gone.'
some background...
we recorded this at the boat, in silverlake CA. in february of this year.
the line-up:
me
aaron tap- guitar
john thomasson- bass
ben west- keyboards
michael chavez- guitar
jason mcgerr- drums.
this song was tracked all at once, live... and this was the 3rd or 4th pass through.
i vividly remember looking out into the tracking room while i was singing this,
and seeing everyone completely in it. hunched over their instruments, eyes closed...
entrenched in the words and the motion of the song. riding it like a wave.
just absolutely KILLING it!...
i hadn't really experienced that kind of connection,
that kind of communication, in the studio before...
6 people working like one.
and the yearning and the desperation of the lyric totally came through them.
through us...
enjoy
