This is a song for the dreamers.
We spend a lot of time thinking about the way our lives should be, the things we need to do, the people we want to become. But there’s a point when thought seeks action. We unexpectedly enter a flow state; thoughts and dreams shift into something more real, but transcend the initial idea of what we thought they were. It’s like a mystery unfolding, revealing the underlying intention of our dreams more clearly.
I wrote this song almost twenty years ago, while living in Montreal. I played it many times live at shows, often with my talented violinist friend, Jean-Fred Lizotte. We never got a chance to record it in studio, but there was one practice recording I made at my home that sat untouched for years. Since I started releasing music on #Lens I’ve been searching for older material to rework - and I stumbled upon his wonderful violin performance. It was simply too good to keep it stored on a hard drive any longer.
But the original tempo was too fast. Using elastic audio, I slowed the violin down to a new tempo, then re-recorded the guitar, bass and vocals. I added a beat and some new arrangements around the violin part using Slate ANA2 and NI NOIRE (shout to @larryscruff.lens for the tip). It’s a long track, just over 7 minutes, so it took about one month to record the parts, and put together the final mix and stereo master. I’m excited to be releasing it after so many years.
