Jon Foreman (Switchfoot) Week: Lord, Save Me From Myself
12/12/2007
.
(antiMusic) Jon Foreman, the frontman for Switchfoot is returning to his indie-scene roots by releasing four solo EPs over the coming months, individually titled Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. To celebrate the digital release of the first EP, Fall, we asked Jon to pick his five favorite tracks from the release and tell us a bit about each one. Here is Jon with today's song: 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.
