This first audio was a work-in-progress recording of The High Road, a song I wrote mid-pandemic. The song was inspired by something I heard Marc Maron say on his podcast “WTF.” He was talking about a relationship and how he was trying to “take the high road.”
Marc had a tour in 2009 called “Scorching The Earth” ~ right after his divorce from his second wife.
So I incorporated the phrase “scorching the earth” into my song that I wrote about my own relationship struggles.
In this version, you’ll hear the drum track that we’ll be using for the final recorded version, as well as a “scratch” vocal and guitar. I’ll be replacing the vocal and guitar with a new vocal part and at least one (probably more) guitar parts.
This version is really useful for me to hear what’s working and what’s not working with the arrangement of the song. The next version will have an ending that is a bit different than this version…
