I hope this song feels evocative. The arrangement really isn't very complex in terms of tracks, yet I think it sounds sufficiently full. The synths do the heavy lifting, so the guitar parts are mostly ornamental (except for the octave solo, which proves I listened to Wes Montgomery as a kid
). Low-tech trivia: The muted guitar in the chorus draped a washcloth across the Les Paul's bridge.
The video is currently unlisted, I wanted to share it with the Studio Pro peeps before it goes public. If you don't mind, please click "Watch on YouTube" so that The Almighty Algorithm registers the click. Hey, at least I didn't beg you to "click like and subscribe." Not that I'd mind if you do.
