Could Someone Please Solve This One: 'Riddle Mind'!!!




Song:
Riddle Mind

Session Date: Sunday January the 28th 2007

Recording Gear: Tascam 488 MKII; Behringer C1 condensator mic; SM-58 clone mic; PC with Audacity

Music Gear: old Yairi Spanish guitar with steel strings in alternative tuning; Squier bass; Yamaha RY-10 drumcomputer; Vox minivox-amplifier.

Log:
I had the idea for the guitar-riff that starts the song for a while and made up a melody a couple of days ago; today I invented a chorus-riff to go with it. Recorded two 'identical' guitar-tracks first; then the bass with a plectrum; then the drumcomputer over the minivox amplifier. I added a bass-synth part in the choruses. Then I recorded the voice in two 'identical' tracks, inventing the chorus -melody on the fly. I like the chorus being lower than the verses, which is most unconventional. My room was a mess while recording this song; I could hardly move with all the cords around me.

Lyrics: I know I can't show how deeply dreadful.. / My works have gone bezirk / I creep to mouthful / Oh no, the wish-station goes / The stars are banned from.. / Riddle mind / You go with this unarmed this time, I / Have to cry / Riddle mind / The speaking voice of when she tries, I / Have to cry / We will all be thrilled when lights are lazy / Blood is life and this / Can drive you crazy / I want to smell you again / I hope you'll stay here / Riddle mind..
