Writing:
The beginning as Julie Andrews said is a very good place to begin.. Only in this case it doesn't start with Do Re Mi it starts with whatever the hell chords Sam plays on this song..
--
This was written by Sambo and myself upstairs in Baskerville Halls of residence in late 2004 {I think}.. Sambo wrote the first section - such a bizarre chord sequence! I then tacked on the Am section and that riff that rips Yes "Owner Of A Lonely Heart".. I can admit now from a safe distance.. The ending has that octave bit cus as we finished writing it at practice for this very gig {Recorded live at TJ’s in 2005 through a pair of headphones} I broke a few strings and had to play octaves..
-
Live we used to cause walls of screeching sketchy feedback with this song as we had no other way to end the earlier sets.. Sam would go nuts with the kids ray gun I would just twiddle my delays until the feedback got so loud it shook the walls.. Ed and Kryss meanwhile would go it a rhythmic frenzy.. On this particular version I broke more strings, hence our friends Trippy and Jez started placing bets to see how many songs I'd last in the future until I of course broke a string.. You wouldn't get that in a Brian Marr write up would you?
