So the other morning I was getting ready for work and a simple line popped into my head – “Climbing out of the blackest hole, darker than the darkest stone, dropped in the deepest sea”. As occasionally happens, I decided to write a song around this line. It changed form a few times; phrases would come and go based on whether they sounded tacky or seemed to fit the theme. Some of the chords I stole from another song I’d written a while ago and the song was written in about a day and half.

On sunday, I spent about half an hour trying to get a clean take – it’s funny how hard it is to get used to playing through electrification when every moment is spent playing acoustically. It certainly doesn’t sound the same and this is reflected in the recording. I also had significant troubles in remembering lines, not fucking up, and competing will crows, cars and planes. There are a number of things wrong with the recording (not least that it’s recorded in mono)- but at the moment it’s a compromise between time and quality and it’ll have to do.

Anyways, hopefully you like it. Here is Blackholes
