As promised, finally, another folk song. It's not even a "folktronica" song (thanks Scott!), although, well, I did use a couple of digitally simulated analog synths. Hm. But no drum loops.

Anyway, "By Your Side" is now up on the web site. I think it's the best song I've written, and the best recording I've made. You, of course, are free to disagree.

It's very good.
I like it very much, and was moved by it, but I still love Snowblinded too so I don't know if I can give this one the trophie.
Great mixing though and definately the best recording so far.
Fantastic bridge.
It's definately ranked up there.

I think a key thing I like about the new one is that I can actually sing all the notes. After "One and the Same" that's a huge relief.

i still can't stop thinking that "by your side" isn't a sade cover. also: beechwood sparks covered that song really, really nicely on their last record, if you're interested.

Even though it's on the EP track listing, the title may still change. I hadn't thought of the Sade angle, but it just feels kind of bland. I just figured since for once I wrote a song with a repeating chorus I should be kind and use it for the title.

Damn you, now I can't stop thinking of the Sade song when I see the title.
