A week later after thinking we had everything charted out properly, Mike had done some drum takes over the weekend only to discover that the charts were incorrect. Sometimes things like this are good. It gave us the opportunity to re-jig the song.
Drawing on all our influences and experience - we were able to look at the chart and figure out what was wrong and what was missing. This was indeed a 'happy accident' as we allowed for some real pockets of creativity to be planted into the song, as well as a pretty catch riff to marry to the vocals during the parts of the song that repeat itself.
Of course a little Lighthouse Merlot does help with the creative process - and gouda of course. We like to keep it classy in the studio - all credit to Michael.This weekend, Ken and I hope Michael will get the new drum takes done and we hope to start building on top of what should be a very strong foundation of a song.
If we could only just put our day jobs on hold for 2 weeks to finalize our songs and get all the tracking done - that'd be awesome. Ah the toil of part time musicians.
