MP3 > THESE FOUR WALLS (DEMO)Way back in say 2004-2005ish i was working on this little tune under the working title “these four walls.” I enjoyed composing and recording this guy, but something about it just didn’t work. Bits and pieces of the lyrical content rolled around in my head and regurgitated upon paper several times in an attempt to salvage something from the wreckage. Often they were forced against completely different chord progressions and melodies and such. I finally threw in the towel until the scattered remains of a speck of an idea which initially inspired the song rose like a phoenix eventually becoming “freedom has a new name.” It all started here. I removed the lead vocal track from this version of “these four walls,” but some of the backing vocals along with a few delightful oohs and ahhs slipped through the cracks.
