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:

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