about

I wrote this song in August 2009 and finally got around to recording it in November 2010. It is about learning from your mistakes. There was another version that featured doubled vocals in two octaves, which was really cool. Unfortunately that was lost in a hard drive crash (the achilles' heel of the modern musician... and yes, in accordance to the song's meaning, I now back up my files!)

This time I recorded the vocals in my apartment during Seattle's wind/snowstorm of November 2010. It was 14 degrees outside and I turned the heat off to avoid hearing it hum on the recording, so I had limited time. It was cold as hell by the time I finished the takes!
