I tried Harp. I tried spoken word. I tried more samples. Tried herding cats.

AJ has tried something, if it works, I'm all good.

I'm not bummed about trying things and saying nope. Knowing what doesn't work is as important as knowing what does work.

Of course, this is all unbelievably subjective and we've delayed the released of the album for 1 month whilst we work on 6 bars, or approximately 30 seconds, or 0.00833 of the approximate album running time.

Oh dear.

I could have jammed anything in there. Heavens knows I tried. But it didn't feel right.

I am not sure whether it's entirely possible to have a clear opinion on this. I did a diagram to helpfully explain.

There comes a point of diminishing returns, where the nudge-to-the-left-no-to-the-right-back-again becomes just plain silly. And that comes from a band that greatly prizes silliness as the highest form of human endeavour.

Heh.

Oh lord, please, please let us be done with this album. I sure am grateful for getting to do it and it's been fun and all but YAAAAAAAAAAAA!

So close.
