I started work on a new song this evening with my band, actually it was a song we had written and recorded in 2003 but had never released, we always liked parts of it but as a complete piece of music it had never quite worked.
So we rearranged it, threw away the bits and pieces that we didnt like, rerecorded some of the guitars (a lot of guitars!) and the bass guitar and now we probably have all the elements we need to finish the song, its just a question of working out which bits go where and so forth.
This song has an almost annoyingly catchy bass line, the bass supplies the main melody in the song and its one of those freak accident things, i had no idea we were recording it at the time i played it and it sounds like something out of a russian folk song, you can almost imagine a choir of bearded russians singing it..
Im truly amazed how fast we are spewing out songs these days, before we moved into our new studio it seemed like every song we wrote took forever to finish, i remember spending 300 hours on one song at one time, now we are whipping out completed songs in around 20 hours or so from the time we start writing them until they have been recorded, arranged and we have a final version in our hands, i hope we manage to maintain this pace and finish our album this year.
