about

This is the last track I recorded for the album and it's also the end result of my journey - both in lyrical content but also in how it came to be, musically.

The guitar part is the first and only take - no cuts, no drop-ins, no tweaks. It's just presented exactly as it was played.

Getting to the point where I can do that has been a huge step forwards for me. The vocals, too, are a massive leap in what I've been able to achieve. And while I can't claim that the phasing effect at the end was intentional, the Universe was obviously smiling on me when I pressed the record button.

Something really has happened here. Something good.

lyrics

Open up the windows
Take the padlock off the door
The way I think I'm feeling
Feels better than I thought I felt before

I'm getting back an appetite
I've lost that urge to quit
I think that something's happened
Am I coming out of it?

I might still wobble sometimes
I'm not out of the woods
But I'm noticing things changing
And today it feels like I am feeling good

The fog is dissipating
I'm healing, bit by bit
The darkness left behind at last
I'm coming out of it

about

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
