“Save Your Breathe”

"Save Your Breathe"
this song is for Johnny Logan.

this song was so much fun to record! it started off as a serious singer-songwriter song, i played it a few times last summer with Ciara a girl from dublin with a beautiful voice who put some really nice harmonies over my insecure "does she like me or not" lyrics (arent all my lyrics about girls?) oddly enough the day i recorded the vocals with dave i meet up by chance with the girl the words are about. my friend asked me why are all my songs "so fucking depressing" so i was like right heres the cheeiest song ever! anyways Davy S from the very excellent Ryan Baileys provided backing vocals on this song. i wanted a choir effect on, 2 other singers were supposed to come up but they were busy kissing their girlfriends! ha! at one point there are 6 voices playing back. during the recording dav was always being dav and saying things in the background one of which was "johnny logan take me to the 80s" which i think is the funniest thing ive heard of 2005! ever time i listen to the song now i just laugh from start to finish!
