Mixing Day Four : Said You'd Be
Drove to the studio through a freshly rained on Los Angeles playing "Bloody Mary" over and over and over again. I love it. Dave has a solo that I love more and more every time I hear it. I get some kind of strange feeling listening to it, like a deep feeling of familiarly with the spirit of the notes. Like and old friend. He really nailed the emotion of the song.
Yesterday we got "Said You'd Be" done. This song was a much easier mix than the last two. Less tracks and more direct: hit it, ROCK OUT, and quit it. Also SYB is only 2 and a half minutes long. Dave came in first and made some adjustments to the bass and the vocal effects in the chorus (as much as this song has one). By the time I got in it sounded pretty much finished. Didn't have much to add because the way I see this song, it's all about the aggressive alliance between Dave, Stephen, and Chris, and as long as that is intact... the song works. I'm the frosting on top screaming about lying politicians.
Dave went off to do his Camp Freddy radio show, and I came home and got busy saving the enchanted forest. It won't save itself.
Tonight we finish "Go On"...
friendly foes
spreading lies they speak in code
now we finally see
not what you said you would be
Comments
I've visited your site ever since I noticed we share more than a first name. It keeps getting better all the time. The first time I found out about you (a few years ago) I'd just published a few MIDI compositions and someone asked if I was you (Well actually they asked if I was "THE" Steve ...). I'm sure they were a bit disappointed when they saw my reply and let them know I'm just another Steve.
