“Bareback”

this song isn’t really a official “Steady State Sessions” song, I recorded it in my hallway last year with my minidisc player and a shurf mike. I closed all the doors and positioned the mike in a corner high up to get the effect the way I wanted to. Its funny actually cos I gave a copy of the song to this guy who is big into his recording in studios and stuff. He was all like “I like the way the chorus is modulating on your voice…did you run it thru the mixer or a external device..... pretty standard really”. And I was like eh no recorded it in my hallway!

isinglas kinda jammed this song, darren had a cool bassline, we never actually got around to playing it properly thou. It was written after I was hanging out with someone (who as since then become a very good friend) and we were txting and in between the texts I wrote the song. The words aren’t about anything really, I like to think they were about my girlfriend of the time but they are’nt, I think the “feel” of my head space of that time was really captured when it was recorded.
