Day 2: It’s 10 am and I’m back in the studio. Yesterday was a very successful first day. Ryan picked me up at the hotel at 9:30 am and off we went to John’s home studio…wowwee…it’s GORGEOUS. John lives in this sick house in Deep Cove (which reminds me of a cute little fishing town that you’d find in the NE United States. His house overlooks the bay and there are ginormous mountains like, right there in your face. The studio itself is so cozy with plenty of natural light and it overlooks his backyard garden (so much green, I love it!!) We’ve lit all these candles, setting up a totally groovy vibe. We got through 3 tracks yesterday after our initial EQ-ing of the mics (which was about 2 hours of me singing “Love Comes Quickly”…frankly I don’t care if it comes quickly or slowly or at all anymore, ha). Ooo…time to go record “Fairytale”….be back soon…
1:00 pm – Just recorded the most kick ass version EVAH of “Fairytale.” I am jumping up and down like a little girl, not even kidding. I just yelped. Yes, like a little puppy. Wow. This could be the single. Oh I wish you all could hear it now….but you will soon. ☺ Ok, time for lunch….aka “sushi time” that is all I eat here I swear. Alright…back in a bit….
Ok…back from some of the best sushi I’ve had….man, and a little too much of it. ☺ Ok, onto the next….”Cincinnati”….a little ditty in the vain of CSN’s “Southern Cross” all about my childhood home. It’s sweet.
Quaker Oats makes very yummy yogurt granola bars….not something I would buy on my own (too many carbs and sugar) but when your blood sugar is low and you’ve been singing 5 different vocal parts (and then doubling them all) for the past, oh, 2 and ½ hours, you reach for the first edible thing. John (who’s studio we are in) was really sweet and basically made a Craft services table for us with fruit and granola bars and trail mix and water and teas. Phew. Almost time to get back to work….one more track today – Dimestore Halo. “Cincinnati” is going to be FUCKING amazing by the way. I’m not going to try to describe it, you’ll just have to hear it. Man, I feel like I am in alternate universe…where people just sing their lives…maybe that’s what it would be like to live in an opera. Ok…I am whacked. Must finish this tune before I fully lose it.
