Cracks in the Floor

This song was sung in a whisper…the overall effect wasn’t intended, but I think it’s better sung that way; makes it a little more intimate, I guess. It’s a little difficult to sing and play loud when you live in an apartment with thin walls at 2AM.

Recorded voice and guitar simultaneously with my little mini-disc recorder in a take, then threw it into Protools and added the piano in an another.

There’s something about Lo-fi that is slightly haunting. Hauntingly beautiful? I hope this song comes across as that.

please put your hand on my wrist/hold me and send me a kiss/what more are you looking for?/it’s me you choose to ignore//..well I’ve been at this place once before/and I intend not to let it fall through the floor..//..I can’t give things that he can/castles and glamourous friends/if that’s what you need then I’ll walk on/I’m just a man with some pretty songs//..well, I’ve been at this place once before/and I intend not to let it fall through the floor..//..I’ll see you tomorrow, my dear/but simply as friends, I fear/one day I might disappear/so please don’t forget what you hear//..well, I’ve been at this place once before/and I intend not to let it fall through the floor..
