Written on a boat…

Posted by nick on Dec 12, 2011 in Studio

This song ‘Green’ was written on a boat. I was thinking about the summer. I was thinking about how people can close themselves off and wander far – in their minds…

It’s also the first song I played bass on, and really enjoyed the process of writing a bassline.

Originally, the track had some boat noises – creaks and floorboards and water lapping against the boat. They were left out of the final mix.  It was a great effect whilst writing the song though – because it put me back in the boat – even though I was actually recording in a dark windowless studio.

Have a listen below. It’s on my debut CD, The Brave Unknown – available on iTunes or at Amazon.com on CD.
