David, you really squeezed a touching song from your (very cool) exercise. Very nice layering of the BiaB tracks and other fun stuff over your base tracks. Superior playing, as always. Really like your vocals, minor imperfections and all, as they convey a raw, live feel and a tangible emotional edge.

Congratulations on exploring the path back to your roots. We should all do that more. smile

Probably half the songs in our catalog are from vocals recorded before the song was finished. I'd have the lyrics (of course), a vague sense of the melody for each section and a BiaB backing track. Would hit record with the song on loop and gradually shape the song over several takes. At the time, this approach allowed me to better tap my innate musical instincts and just let them flow with the music. I've since found other ways of getting to the same place, but this one was a lot of fun.
