Sunglasses & Wine

Liner Notes
Whew... this one was a doozy. I started contemplating it on Sunday night & have been working on it for the past several days. I wanted to do something really different than I had ever done, specifically a guitar-heavy song that slowly phased from a #softrock melancholy ballad, & keeps building up until it's harder #rock, so I guess this song as a whole is #progressiverock ?
I deliberately recorded this without a click track both because I wanted certain tempo changes throughout the song, & because I wanted to chase a very organic feel where the tempo is allowed to follow the song's energy.
Not sure how long exactly I spent on this one, but I would guess around 20 hours over the past few days (a solid 9.5 hour session today alone, from 5pm to 2:30am). Thus continues my ultra-high-effort FAWM saga!
Lyrics
the sun is setting soon & we've wasted the daytime the cold & pretty moon won't light the way
weeds choked out the flowerbed cheats choked out the game tears fall from the showerhead ain't it all such a shame

You've got a really distinctive voice. Nice tight harmonies. Nice guitar-playing too and some interesting chord changes. Very prog-rocky. Lot of musical ideas woven in there.
Sunglasses and wine and more songs like this will make you feel better. If you ask me, your time was well spent.
Nice production! It sounds good! Nice vocal melody and guitar playing! I like it!
I really liked the different tempos, it made it really interesting to listen to. Also sunglasses and wine, it does make you feel better :)
