I recorded bass lines for two new
songs yesterday. I’m hoping that they’ll stick, but you never know. I’m rarely
ever satisfied with anything I do in the studio, and song writing has always
made me feel vulnerable. There’s a risk to it. It’s not like an instrumental
where the only risk is the music. When you attach words and singing to music
that’s a whole different ballgame, because, now you’re saying something and
words are the most powerful weapons of them all. But, as words are powerful
they can also be weak. It’s complex, especially when you add the voice to the
equation. I have a hard time listening to my voice. I just want to hide it in
the track, and wash it away with reverb. You can hide emotion with reverb. You
can drown out any feeling or vulnerability with it.
The
more feeling a song has the riskier it is, and if you singing about love you’re
redlining with danger. As luck will have it many of my new songs are about
love, so I’m sensitive to the touch. I’m a walking talking contusion
