Let it Out

Wow, Eleven and I had a great recording session, our first since working on the Pray For Daylight Score. We tightened up 'Let It Out', a song we haven't touched for Months, and I haven't heard since, oh, about December. I forgot how much I like that song. We had previously declared that song Finished, but in reality, what we meant was that the song was Written. In the future, I will be more careful with that distinction.

After an evening of simplifying the bassline, re-recording the lead Vox, and a dash of Level/EQ, the song is Much Much better. It still needs the drum loops replaced with real drums, and a coat of bright, blood-red paint, then it can be added to the Finished pile with 'Not Enough Bullets'.

I think scoring the movie was a good break from the album. We needed to get away from that project for a while - things had begun to stagnate a bit, and I know I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. There were some songs (like Monsters) that were taking on a life of their own, growing out of control, so it was nice to put the works aside for a few weeks, and return and view things with a fresh ear (or is that 'hear things with a fresh eye'?). Anyway, I really can't wait for you to hear it. Where are the registration forms for the 2007 SXSW Festival?
