Recently I had such a FUN day in the studio to do harmonies and I would make this stupid face after EVERY take.
It’s that face you make when you just tried something kinda weird but cool and you *think* it worked but are not totally sure. I knew exactly how it sounded in my head and I thought I knew how to create that effect in real life. But you never know until you try.
I had heard the song in my head for so many months, I knew how it sounded inside my brain. I’ve never had such a clear vision before so I was scared of potential disappointment. It was so fun to let my voice just play along and fill the space I created in my mind. I layered different harmonies and different timings, trying to create the effect of a ghost choir singing in the far end of a cathedral.
When I listened back to the layered harmonies... absolute BLISS! Whatever chemical cocktail got released in my brain at that moment, I’d like a bottle of that please. It’s one of the best feelings in the world. Like your soul had to pee really bad for a year and FINALLY the release! That’s a disgusting and probably not even the best metaphor but hey don’t tell me it’s not relatable.
I cannot wait to share them BUT I will wait because I want to finish it and do the release properly and with patience (and hopefully, press). These songs deserve that. I know that they will have a healing effect and I want to bring that to as many people as possible. Why not, right?
I made totally different sounds out of my face from my previous recordings, more soulful, more spacey, more dreamy and - dare I say - trippy ??
