An alternate version of this song was the Pick of the Week on 2016.06.24. Here's the story:

( show )

Last year, in Mid-July, my dog Caico and I were making our way along our usual trail through a few hundred acres of woods along beautiful 10-foot wide old logging roads. We rounded a corner and saw our trail had been completely blocked by a huge old oak tree that had fallen right across the trail. I had my guitar strapped on, as usual, and started singing this song, with the first few lines in my head. I pulled out my iPhone and recorded the idea. I strummed it for the rest of the summer and fall, but never developed the rest of the idea to flesh it out. Once or twice I had additional lyric ideas, but just a few lines, and I was missing something to hold it all together. Winter came, and I pretty much forgot about it. This spring, when I started walking Caico with a guitar again, I remembered it, and started playing it occasionally again.

Then last week, on Thursday, June 16, I sat down at a picnic table that the neighbors put atop the tallest hill on their land, and more words just flowed out. I typed them into my iPhone, and had maybe two-thirds of the song written. Then on Tuesday the 21st, Make Music Day, I wrote the rest of the verses, but I felt it still needed something. On Wednesday June 22, I was determined to finish and record it. As I walked Caico that morning, I used my iPhone to record a few ideas for the third part. I had been singing "what am I gonna do?" or "what are we gonna do? over a C#m/Dadd9 progression, but I didn't like it. The jam on Em/Bm7 with the repetition of the little descending lick from the Em of the refrain popped out, and I splurged some words over that in a memo. But none of those words were working, and I actually said in the voice memo "I keep wanting to turn this into a happy song but it's supposed to be about how everything is crumbling, how nothing is certain anymore." So the next thing I sang to my phone was the hook of the bridge/chorus/outro, the melodic "nothing is certain anymore".

When I got home I opened Logic, started a new project called "crumbling" from my Andy Band template, and used the piano roll editor to create the drums, bass, and organ tracks, with Logic's EXS24 sampler providing drums and bass sounds, and the EVB3 modeled organ. I was recording in the live playroom with the French doors open and it was starting to pour rain outside as I recorded guitar and vocals. I started with my Taylor 310, but the strings are old and dull and I messed up a change, so I stopped and switched to my Skunk / dogwalking guitar, my Ibanez with the figured ash laminate body and fresh strings. The first take was good. Then vocals through my Rode NT1-A large condenser mic, and the first take was a keeper, but I didn't have any words for the bridge/outro, just a few moans. I picked up my iPhone to see if any of my music memos had good ideas, and heard myself at the end of that morning's memo singing this. I hit record, and before long I had added five tracks of backing vocals, and I had the hook the song needed.

I'm looking forward to playing this song out live, soon. But it will be a bit of a challenge, not just for me but for anyone trying to accompany me, because it has an unusual structure of only three measures per cycle, where four is what nearly anyone would expect.

Thanks for listening!

-Andy

crumbling

a tree has fallen
in the woods
across my path
that's no good

a tree has fallen
came crashing down
I gotta find
a way around

a tree has fallen
what will I do?
I've got to find 
a way through

  I'm trying so hard
  to hold on
  but my world
  is crumbling

the earth is shaking
under my feet
making ash 
of the concrete

the earth is shaking
on CNN
will the violence 
ever end?

the earth is shaking
O! how I long
for everyone 
to get along

  we're trying so hard
  to hold on
  but our world
  is crumbling

      it's all crumbling
               nothing is certain anymore

hold my hand now
and walk with me
we'll find a way
around that tree

hold my hand now
across shaky ground
we'll find a way
to get around

hold my hand now
lift me up
give me strength
and fill my cup

  you refill my heart
  every day
  but still the world
  is crumbling

All songs written by Andy Wyatt, with big thanks to Jim Yeager for coming up with part of the the bass riff on “let’s hear it for your skin” (March 2017 Skunk improv) and the woah-oh-oh-oh! chorus of “sunsets” (2014) —he got everyone at the Skunk Hollow Tavern singing that!

Drums and percussion arranged, performed, and recorded by Russ Sternglass in his drum studio in Medford, MA. www.russsternglass.com Russ and Andy both grew up in Ithaca, NY, and Andy first met him at Blue Monday at The Nines in 1999 when he came up and played a really solid set at 10 years old!

Horn section and steel pan arrangements by Andy Wyatt, with big thanks to all 5 players for coaching during scoring and their masterful interpretations in the studio. All 5 are music teachers in the VT/NH schools!

Horn section, backing vocals, and steel pans recorded by Vincent Freeman and his assistant Gage Barbour at The Underground Recording Studio in Randolph, VT www.theunderground.studio

Basses recorded and played by Jeff Stedman at his home studio in Barnard, VT

Years of Activity:

Overview:
There are cassette tapes by "The Andy Band" dating back to 1979, when Andy was 14 years old, and he is still an avid recording musician. Sometimes The Andy Band is all about "hit record and go" improvisation, other times it's all about one-man-band multi-tracking in the studio. Since 2010, Andy has been playing some of these songs live near his new home in Vermont at open mics. He relishes the thrill of improvising with an audience, as well as singing three-part harmonies and playing bass with players there. But he also loves building up a song with layers and layers of Andys, singing and playing everything.
