Assassin - John mayer

There is a piano in my garage. Ive never owned a piano before. Wow. Now we just have to figure out how to get it up two stairs. Well figure it out.

Been listening to John Mayers album "Battle studies". So freakin wonderful. Found my new favorite song.

Last chapter

Everything feels so weird. I think I left a piece of my heart in Spring Creek, because something isnt right. Ive got pieces everywhere, and its impossible to keep them all together at the same time.

Maybe if I got a jetplane it would work.

I guess there will be no more blogging about Ben and Elin gigs. Im not really okay with that.

So this blog will be more unactive than usual. I will also be guitarless for like two weeks until we go back to Sweden.

The end of an Era.. But Ill be back to join Jennifers tourbus in some years.

Recording, day two

So we didnt record five songs. We sure didnt have time for that many, hah. We just finished our song. So we got Fear of falling and You can never win this fight. It was so much fun when we added the singing and guitar lead. I sounded so angry when I sang, and Greg even said "awesome! But could you try again.. and sound even more mean?"

I think we got six different tracks of different solos ben played. They all sounded amazing.


Ben in the room. (Big brother is watching you)


Whatever he was saying, it was funny.




Acoustic base! Its white! Im going to steal it!

Recording, day one.

The first day of recording is done! 5h straight.. god Im tired. And hungry, but everyone is sleeping, so I just grabbed a banana. Perfect dinner, haha.

Most of the time went to record rythm guitar. stupid metronom, its so hard! But we got at last. We finished recording the song i wrote (fear of falling). rythm guitar, lead guitar, vocals plus vocalharmonies. I improvised like crazy on the harmonies, and went higher than my voice wanted too. But I think it turned out good. Greg is awesome, the guy who runs the studio, his idea to add a higher harmony. Ben made the perfect lead over it too, so the song has such a good flow. Im so happy right now.

The last picture is the little singing box that we are closing Ben into tomorrow. Learned today that his claustrofobic, hah. Poor thing.

I should propably go to bed, we are getting up ridiciolously early and heading out to the studio again.

We are just singing, and Ben are doing leadguitar tomorrow. The song we wrote is going to be so much fun to record.

I like this life.

preparing to record (the final countdown)

I can not stop smiling.

And my heart can not stop singing.

So this recording project we are doing, is a thousanddollars project. The studio is so proffesional. And freaking Jennifer is paying for it, as a gift! Shes crazy! I love her!

I just got back from practising with Ben. I thought he was going be annoying, I was going to be frustrated, and we werent gonna get anything done. It didnt turn out that way. Today was so awesome. The song we wrote is so tasty and amazing, especially Bens guitars solo.

This is our final. Its sad, but its so epic. Its like the last song in a long and awesome concert.

But dont worry, we all know that the musicians always get cheered back for an extra number!
(that would be the outdoor gig at Muleys, the fourth of june, be there)

LOVE! /Ekkin

Recording

I thought my voice would be gone today. But no, maybe Im getting used to sing/scream.

Me and Ben are jumping into the recording studio on Friday, and Saturday. And I guess we are writing an entire new song for it, so we will have two. I really hope Ben allready got music for it, so we can just do some lyrics and be happy.

Have a wonderful sunny sunday!

I get by with a little help from my friends

Kimmie just said the funniest thing. So she has been trying to find a concert that we can go to before I leave, just in one of the states nearby, and that we easily can get tickets for.

She just told me that shes been trying to find out if the beatles are playing anywhere close. I died. She can be so cute sometimes.

Yeah that aint gonna happen...
