In case you don't know (all three of you who follow me...if that...ha), I not only play guitar, but I also track, mix, and produce music. Here's a track I started working on 3 years ago with Alison Clancy, Chris Lancaster and Sonny Ratcliff. I started working on it when I was just learning the inner workings of sound engineering, continued working on it as I went through the worst break-up of my adult life, stopped working on it to hit bottle after bottle of Rittenhouse Rye, started working on it again when I felt a glimmer of hope, dropped it for a while, then picked it back up earlier this year. This song holds a really special, yet very dark place in my heart. I would sit with the cello, vocals and guitar parts and depending on what I was feeling that day, would either write something up or something down. In the end, the song pulls on the unwound heartstrings of a broken person...a broken love. I wrote all the synth parts, ambient sounds, and the beat. I also layered the hell out of the guitars, and played a bunch of fuzzed out bass on this. Although this is in all fairness a Loving You track, it's just as much a part of me as it is of them. Play it, share it, and live vicariously through it. Remember a time when you were there. And it was dark.
