about

This song is a gift for my boyfriend Ben.
I hope you like it, I mean every word :3

This was probably one of the most intense things I have ever recorded/edited.

I recorded something like 37 tacks and ended up only using 11 of them. In editing I listened to it like 70 times :( which means I will need like 3 months before I'm able to enjoy listening to it, but I wanted it to be as perfect as I could get it.

I used some new studio effects (new for me anyway) like manual double tracking on vocals and mixing that with some artificial double tracking. I also got a chance to use my new toy! THE MELODIHORN!]


I picked this thing up the other day for like 30 bux at a thrift store and thought it was just the right sound for the solo in this song: www.atomicmall.com/view.php?id=479928It sounds just like an accordion but instead of bellows you blow through a tube. This has the benefit of allowing you to use your breathing to do some cool things with the instrument and makes it super portable!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this. I know I wont, at least, not for a while.


Instrumentation:
Vocals: Myself
Rhythm Guitar: Rainsong COWS-1100 (neck joint mic'd)
Lead guitar and finger picked guitar: 12 string Mederia by Guild (neck joint mic'd)
mandolin: Vietnam made double sided mandolin (overhead mic'd)
Solo: THE MELODIHORN!!!

lyrics

I see the dawning morning light
I see the sunlight shining in for you
Like you do for me

Your lightning smile lights a spark
Deep within my battered heart for you
Don't you see?

I forgot, Just how good it could be

I see the light behind your eyes
More colorful than western skies in the eve
Do you believe?

That you could be the only one
That makes my blood run hot or cold it's true
Its just you

And in you I see all that I could be

I'm just a simple man
I don't have a lot to say or give it's true
Can I be enough for you?

You have my words, you have my soul
you have my body, please don't break my heart
It would tear me apart

And I know, just how hard it would be

These things I say I say for real
I don't think I could lie to you if I tried
I don't wanna try

I love you I need you I can't breath without you
I'll lay in bed for hours without you
you know its true

And that's why, It makes me glad you love me too.

And I know just how good it can be.
