Here are the studio log notes for this song: "Started this one with a guitar riff in mind on the acoustic, up late the night before a flight to Lexington, Kentucky, 11/28/1998. I did a click track by clicking two drumsticks together, and then got carried away adding more rhythm played on my cheeks. Then I could do the two rhythm acoustic guitar tracks, and by 3:30 in the morning had an awesome, perfect bass track down. Then it sat in a mix till Christmas Eve, when I wrote words, but didn't record them till 2/20/1999. I sang them first in a low register, then an octave higher, and mixed them with more higher octave plus multi-tap delay on the higher octave. Then I did two lead acoustic parts, doing harmonies and rolls, beautiful melodic finish that brought out those riffs I would sing along while listening to the early November mix. Yowza! I even did a funky new breakdown ending with some fancy copy and paste, and some reversed bits. Very nice. I thought I was done, but on 2/24/1999, after a late hockey game, I did a harmony vocal, and panned the two main rhythm guitars all the way to the right and left. A mild improvement. Catchy tune, it stays with me all day. :-) "

Recorded in mangobananas studio, Ithaca, NY. All sounds by me. On the album solar from 1999.
