The bass solo was well done!

Hi Noel!
The words took a while because K-Dub Ya (formerly Knee Wobbler) set a songwriting challenge to think more deeply about lyric writing and rhymes after he had watched a recent ‘How to write songs’ episode on what the experts know about lyric writing (here). Besides the idea of the song, I tried looking for different places to put the rhymes. I’m not sure I truly met the challenge, but pretty happy with the song outcome nonetheless.

I’m not a heavy Tim Minchin listener, but I do like ‘White wine in the sun’.

Regarding singing the chorus, I knew it was going to be daunting, so I rehearsed my breathing several times and took ‘micro-breaths’), but it still wasn’t enough, so I had to punch in a middle section for both my main vocal and my double, but in different places on each track so that there was adequate coverage.
Thanks for listening - I appreciate it.
Andrew
