What a cool morning! I woke up at about three, unable to sleep. Finally, at about a quarter to four, I got up and came into the studio. I checked my email first, mostly out of habit, but then I got to comping the vocals I'd cut the other night.
"Beautiful" is a difficult song to sing. It is right in my range, but it's one of those songs that's vocally-based. I mean, it's not a guitar-driven song, so I have to be much pickier on what makes the cut on the singing. But I think I've put together a track that I'm pleased with.
Then, I put down a live bass line, to replace the synth one I've been using for so many years.
And it HAS BEEN YEARS. Literally. I mean, I wrote this tune in '01, and started recording it not too long after that. There's been three attempts at the choir, this last one finally being the one that works. At least so far. We still have to cut the Sopranos...
