about

This song was sitting unfinished for many years, due to being sort of lost on an old 8-track analog master tape. I finally transferred it from my old tascam tape machine into the digital domain, recorded a new vocal and had it mixed.

The basic track was recorded live, with us sitting in a semi circle and using 3 or 4 microphones - so there was a lot of natural sound leakage. There was no isolated control room in my studio, so you can even hear the sound of the tape machine's reels rolling along.

The song is based on my experience of living in a 4 story walk up apartment building in mid 1990's New York City.
