Recording "Needful Things
Just got back from Bruce's place where we laid down a host of epic guitar tracks for "Needful Things", our tin-whistle song.
The main part is one I've been playing live forever, but once we started putting down tracks on top of that I was able to find some really interesting themes and melodies that I hadn't thought of before.
It makes the song slightly more melancholy at the ending, and I can totally see it being used in a teenage soap opera TV show or movie. The girl who broke up with her boyfriend can be sitting in the park where they used to hang out, or by the window with the rain streaming down the pane, thinking about the good times past...
Producers, give us a call!
Now we've got everything recorded but the tin whistle and the organ. The goal is to have "Needful Things" mixed and in the can soon enough to make 3-track CDs available at the Red-Eyed Fly on Sept 3 and after.
