This song didn't start sounding like a song until a few hours into the process. I started with a distorted guitar (a second distorted guitar was added to the Chorus sections later), and then I recorded the bass guitar. Both were recorded to a click track (100 BPM). The chord progression is kind of strange, but I wanted this song to have a certain uneasiness about it. The fuzz synth sounds and the distorted guitars add to this effect. Once I got the drums in place I was able to add a few picking guitars (for melody's sake) and some cymbal swells (to tie the sections together as well as create extra intensity). Like yesterday, I felt that this song said what I wanted it to without lyrics and vocals.
