Fail To Fire

SOUNDCLOUD >>> Coming Soon

High over everything
Hangs a Sword
Held by a silver thread
Hangs right over our heads...

Who's gonna watch over the ones I love?

We are pushed around
All because
Some of our neurons
Fail to fire...

We are pushed around
All because
Some of our neurons
Fail to fire...

This song was tough to perform and record - cool, but tough. It's the time signatures that were tricky: the intro 3/4. Then the lyric section: first 6/8, then 7/8, then 4/4 back to 7/8 (over which I sing the "We are pushed around" lyrics, try doing that) - repeat 4x, then into the solo section which is 5/4. The way we counted the lyric was like this: 123456, 1234567, 12345678, 1234567. Once Chris worked out his drum part (which is swinging like a motherfucker in case you didn't notice) the rest just fell into place.
