And Once by Oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

time to write and record is a bit of a luxury of late, it's all work and no play that makes James a dull boy.

anyway had a little riff, so i recorded to a mono track on my br800 using my jasmine acoustic plugged in. however i couldn't find an effect patch i liked, so i recorded the guitar dry. i then recorded the 2nd guitar track dry too, which is just a single chord played ad nauseum like a drone. i then recorded the stream of thought vocals via the on board mics again dry.

once everything was recorded i added some ambient reverb.

anyway it is what it is.

love is like an antidote
to fear and hate
and love is like a catalyst
it brings us hope
and everything you loved
and everything you touched
and everyone you knew
and everything you saw
and once belonged to you
and everything you hoped
and everything you shared
and all the things you ever did
because you really cared
and every piece of you
and his and her and who
you tried to walk a straight line
and do what you could do

and hope it rises
from deep within

And Once

Very nice Jim! Your steam of consciousness vocal is impressive. The droning guitar makes a good backing for your melody. Sometimes no effects on acoustic guitars is the best choice...it work here well!

Sounds very mellow via phones! Great job, James!

Very dynamic guitar tones!!

[Kenny B]

Great sound on this Jim.  Guitars sound so good in stereo and
really compliment your excellent vocals.  Great song!!!

The two guitars sound a bit like a 12 string. Its a good effect.

This song is quintessential ORH.

I have been an infrequent visitor lately. Its good to find a Jim song waiting.
