Stawberries & Bread Draft

Here's a quick edit that has made the spaghetti clearer and added, experimentally, some Ahhs.I also knocked some vocal out at 3300Hz as it seemed a bit strident.
Strawberries and Bread 9bc - ahhs.

One step further along the path. I've swapped some guitars...tweaked the spaghetti, reduced the compensatory EQ on the vocals and fiddle faddled about here 'n' there.

A quick track based on the very limited shopping list my wife & sister-in-law prepared a few nights ago.
I laughed at the list when I found it on the way to bed.
I wrote the lyric when in bed and constructed the song with BIAB the following day.
I've replaced the BIAB guitars and bass etc. but retained the drums.

The Style is Weekend Warrior.
I used a Guyatone LT125 for guitar parts...the meaty ones through a Marshall Superbass, the accent and "spaghetti solos" through a Joyo ACtone. The Spaghetti guitar was tracked with tremolo, Spring Reverb and a little EQ. One of the meaty tracks was with a slight boost from a Boss SD1, (no dirt).
Having acquired a new interface, (SSL2),part way through the process I did the vocals using it and the 4K button.
Vocals are double tracked rather than comped...this is because of my thin, reedy voice.

Short yet deliberately repetitive both lyrically and melodically.

For me it was a bit of fun...trying to learn the monitoring latency stuff for the new interface being a key reason for continuing to do it.

This is a simple mix, there's nothing on the stereo/master bus.

ANY/ALL comments, suggestions, critiques and communication is welcome.


STRAWBERRIES & BREAD
Strawberries and bread
Break my bones until I've bled
Strawberries and bread
Break their bones until they've bled
Strawberries and bread
Break your bones until you've bled
Strawberries and bread
Bloodless white congealed red.

You don't know what you're doing to me
Don't know what you're doing through me
Don't know what we're doing do we?
Don't know what we're doing.

Strawberries and bread
Take your pain to bed
Strawberries and bread
Trap it in your head
Strawberries and bread
Wake up when you're dead
Strawberries and bread
Bloodless white congealed red.

You don't know what it's doing for me
Don't know what it's doing to me
Don't know what we're doing do we?
Don't know what we're doing.

Strawberries and bread
You're Snow White and I'm Rose Dead
Strawberries and bread
Sliced white and plump fed
Strawberries and bread
Break our bones until we've bled
Strawberries and bread
Bloodless white congealed red.
