• Another really old track. The drum loop was made in Fruity Loops.
• For a period of time, many of my songs started with sounds similar to the sound that kicks off this track. This one always makes me think of an owl’s nest
• It took a while before I realised that the track needed vocals. Jonas Hult put down the vocals in the same session as ”A Crack in Time”.
• The sound of the vocals were heavily influenced by the Elbow track ”Any Day Now” - particularily the harmonies.
• The track was mixed by Ola Strandh (former drummer in the band stockfinster) who also masters all of my stuff.
• The outro features Andreas Kullberg on keyboard. He also played on ”A Crack in Time”.
• The weird drum loop in the outro is actually a snippet of a guy called Henrik Andersson playing the drums (without a click track). He was not aware that I was recording him. Oddly enough, Henrik and Andreas used to be in the same band (Hank).
lyrics
I am wiping out my past
to make room for what’s to come
and I’m slowing down my thoughts
because there’s comfort in being dumb
I’m as white as canvas
and my thoughts are dripping
slipping down the cracks
my thoughts are dripping …
slipping down the cracks
slipping down the cracks
I am wiping out my past
to make room for what’s to come
it is the saddest feeling
it is the saddest feeling
