Lord, Save Me From Myself: The recording process for this project was entirely different from a band approach. Instead of building the songs on the foundation of drums and bass, we built them around the vocal. I would play the tune down, (often the night I wrote it) guitar and vocal at the same time. Plain and simple. I wanted these songs to sound exactly like I recorded them late at night at my house. So that's what I did.
But I get bored with the singer songwriter thing. I wanted to add some of my favorite instruments into the mix. But instead of fitting the vocal into the production I wanted to build the production around the vocal. But the vocal had the final say. We tried to put drums on a few of the other songs but the songs repelled them. I think this is the only song on this EP where the drums actually stuck around. Wrote this one in Detroit on my sister's guitar, this mini thing, might have been a baby Taylor.
