Done in 1 full take + a take for the solo. I did the louder of the 2 guitar parts, and the solo at the end. My usual bass player played the quieter guitar part, and keyboard player did the vocals because he's way better than me. I play a Taylor 814ce, and the other acoustic is a Taylor 310ce. Shure condensers for the guitars and I'm not sure of the model, but i'm in love with it, a big gorgeous Shure vocal mic. I hit one wrong note in the solo but i liked the rest so much that i didn't bother redoing it.

Same Taylor 814, Violin player uses a Don Worwood "stradiverious" model (sp?) She's rediculously good but she isn't very confident in her solo ability, even though she's nasty. Bass is a 5-string Fender Jazz Bass, directly into the mixer. Drums are Ludwig, but the snare is different. He hated the snare in that recording so he bought a new one recently. I know the drums don't start correctly in the beginning, and the intro is rushed. We figured that out later. I sing lead vox, so don't hate, i know i suck. Backup is me 1x and keyboard player 2x. After the jam till the end is wrong because we were supposed to go into the "knock knock" part again but we, once again, didn't notice until we listened to the DMB recording.


EDIT: we lost time a little bit a couple times. It was hard playing to a metronome and still trying to have energy, so that's where the mess-ups came from.

The song is about my relationship with a girl over the course of 3 years, but i took the whole literal meaning and switched it from love, to sailing, because i thought it would be more fun that way.
This isn't the finished cut, but it's all i have on my computer. The finished thing has a high harmony during the "so far from home.." part, and i play the open chords instead of the powerchords. The strumming is also more even and the song overall if more powerful during the chorus, but then it goes back into the verse. I'm a big fan of it that way. There's drums and Bass and all sorts of good stuff too. there's a shitty crossfade at the end where Dan kept running out of breath while he was singing and it sounds shitty when he comes in over himself, it's fixed in the final. Oh, and he hit a WAY sharp note in the first chorus, we fixed that too.

If there's any questions, let me know, and i definatly want to see what everyone thinks.
