Song138_Over and Over

I woke up early and had a bass line in my head, so that was the first track recorded in today's song. The main electric picking part came next, which made it easy to add space using a few synth pads and a solo violin. There is one straight-forward drum sequence accompanied by live mallet hits on the floor tom and live cymbal swells (recorded in separate takes, each part stereo-mic'ed). The lyrics/vocals are pretty simple (each part was recorded in 1-2 takes), but it's a descent message about: starting over, trying again (where you've failed before), and trying to resist the destructive side of our human nature that perpetuates the need to start over and try again.

LYRICS: "Over and over, time and again. It's not too late, so let's start over again. Over and over and over. Time never stops, and time never ends."
