Who wants to spend 7 hours in the studio on a sunny weekend day in May?
um, ME!
Last Saturday was the best day I've had in a long time. I'm talking years. And I barely did a thing. I just listened, commented and took it all in. Niall (my sweet and talented photographer/boytoy/executive album producer) & I went to the studio around 1pm, and arrived to a full house. Adam (awesome producer) was there, along with Betsy (coolest guitar-badass/friend I know), Kevin (bassist extraordinaire) and Brady (drummin' all night long). Betsy is the only musician I knew personally, and I was trusting that Adam had chosen the right drummer & bassist. Aaaand he did. They were awesome. Knew everything backwards and forwards, had cool interesting ideas to add, and best of all, were responsive to Adam and my direction.
So warning, I'm about to lay on the cheese, but... It was nothing short of freakin' magical. They were playing MY songs (specifically, *spoiler alert!* Deaf Ears, Linger & Fight or Flight). And they sounded so real - so full - so awesome. I kept looking over to Niall and smiling - with this HUGE "I'm such a dork - I'm SO excited - this couldn't be cooler" kind of look on my face. I can't wait for you all to hear it.
Special thanks to my sweetness for the photos, capturing something I don't ever want to forget.
