Recorded within days of it being written. It felt so left field for me at the time, I didn’t know if I liked it. I was just so desperate for anything that I had to make sure I finished it and ended the drought. 

Here are some observations upon hearing this again for the first time 

  • I sound like I have a cold

  • I was in a very heavy Joni Mitchell phase (fun fact - I think all of the writing for Stories Don’t End was deeply influenced mostly by Joni and Willie)

  • I like that first instrumental break being after the first chorus instead of the second. It’s probably better how it is now but it was my attempt at having a Court and Spark moment 

  • The little figure between the second chorus and the bridge is nice to hear - I didn’t remember it at all

  • I had to practice that guitar pattern a thousand times before I was ready to record this demo

Hope you enjoy! Next up will be Something In Common!
