“Les Cloches Sonnant et Vous”

this is another song that I was really happy with the outcome. the title of the song, when translated, refers to a persons name. I had one format in my head for the song but when I jammed the song with stove it changed around a bit so I had to re-record the acoustic guitar on stoves beautiful taklemine. we recorded in stoves bedroom at the of barracks street one friday nite. we lacked microphone stands so I took of my shoe, balanced the mike on it, put the shoe on the edge of the shelf and had to lean in whilst I played!
Stove is probably the best guitarist I know, not because he shreds fast, and play any song he wants to, its because of his original style which I can't compare him to. maybe johnny squire. but that’s still not close! plus stoves was in the right mood that night for this kinda song cos of his martial status situation! Ha! Stove has many effects pedals and an ibanez which we put thru my 8 track. Stove listened to the song a couple of times and we recorded many different versions but we settled on this one. he doesn’t like what he played but I think its spectacular!

I then got onto emer for her violin parts. I love her part before each chours. we recorded two violin tracks for the riff part and it sounds well. also I love how raw its sounds. It was funny actually, the day we recorded in her house, my old secondary school principal was there….

I then got the flu(I blame annifer for this!) and wasn’t able to recorded the final vocal part till a couple of days later.

Thanks to stove and emer again!!
