I think we were playing a melodica. Neat instrument. I didn’t realize when I bought it that it was often associated with dub, but it’s fun to play.

Tried to rework a year or two later with a band, didn’t work. Too moody. This song wants to be a happy one. So smile already.
This song developed as it went, and gathered meaning in its abstract nature like a snowball rolling downhill. At an epic length of almost six minutes it was our longest track, it kept growing organically until some kind of bizarre feedback-drenched guitar solo came out the other end.
Another retake. Transparent, you might say.
This must be my third or fourth take on this song, now with an actual band. It’s certainly well-developed at this point.
It all happened so quickly. This was the only phrase I remembered…
