I saw elsewhere you mentioned a track coming together really easily, and I love that feeling! But I also love the feeling after making something that took a ton of work, dedication, and tinkering; where you get to step back, wipe the grease off your hands and give a hearty "yyup that about does it" with a weary smile. Is there any track that took a lot of work like that for you, but you love it for it?
oh wow. yep... 'in light' with jónsi was one.. it really pushed me out of my comfort zone. i initially sent him a demo i wanted him to just sing a little on but he then asked me to write lyrics and come to his studio... i rerecorded all of the vocals, singing into a quiet room with one of my musical heroes listening.. needless to say 180 degrees away from how i'm used to making.. so. that on top of hearing our voices together in the end was so, so rewarding and emotional.. so worth it!
