“Diminished Details”

Around the time I recorded this song I blew a transformer in my tube amp and had to fish out €300 to fix it, ouch! I recorded the guitars on my transistor amp at first but I rerecorded it all when I got my tube amp back, it’s sounded so much better! This is the first song I think where I recorded all the guitars thru my amp.

Once again Dav take a bow for your bass line! Ha!

I love the “warmth” of the guitars on this song, tubes all the way! I had a lot of fun recording the solo and writing the lyrics. I initially recorded the vocals on a dynamic mic, just to see how it would sound. It sounded grand but it didn’t seem to “fit” over the music so I had to whip out my trusty condenser!

I’m finally touched on a subject, after five years of wanting to. Finally felt right I suppose, I don’t know.

I’m after striking up an odd relationship recently with someone. Well more than recently. When I’m around her it’s so intense, like I’m drained physically and emotionally when I go home after. I can’t sleep because of that. It all sound so classical! It could be because I like her (on and off), it could be her personality. She doesn’t invade my thoughts. I think it’s just being in her presence. It could be anything. Anyways she inspired the lyric: “I’m counting down the days on the back of my hand” (and many more since! I’m gonna name her “The Tempest”) She joked recently that she’s my muse. Sweet Tempest. If she only knew! I love words. They can do anything.
