and you just can't stop... *

jonathan said, I like it simple... It's these frickin' guitars, man. You
get them in your hands and you just can't stop...

his guitar parts here have changed the song. i have to rethink a few things, i definitely have to resing the vocal, it had only been a scratch vocal, now with the whole majesty thing going on, i have to sing along with the new parts to do the song justice.

less guitars is more guitars *

i removed the distorted scottish guitar part as per jonathan's suggestion, i redid the reverb on the vocal, i kept the archtop guitar and drum fills. i will probably stop here , so as to not continue to "guild" the lily. from here on out, its jonathan's turn.

more guitars, more guitars *

i added two more guitars to the tune, a distorted bagpipe part, and a strummed archtop part.

addendum: i added drum fills to the tune since yesterday, not enough of a change to post a separate entry...

i'm so sad, again... *

i wrote this song in 1982. it was the first song i ever wrote in the studio. previously i had written with a guitar in hand, not a recording desk.

i wrote this one originally with john beekman programming bass sequencer and drum machine. I decided to redo the tune and develop it using more organic noise makers. i always liked the lyrics because they distill the relationship to very simple terms.
