Phwoar. As Lucas said...what a day. This is the first time i have felt a bit couped up here actually. I haven't really been outside today. I haven't really had time to be honest. It has been flat out. Non stop. Except to make more coffee. Sad, isn't it?
I am finding it very hard to switch my mind off. Very hard to think of anything outside of these tracks. I know that sounds obvious (of course, we are here to record), but this is commitment of thought beyond anything i have personally ever experienced. Right from the beginning of the writing process we have been over and over this material. Writing and rewriting all the time. There have been times when i couldn't sleep or do anything else but call one of the guys and just talk about the album. Its an obsession. Totally. I dont know how many hours i have personally spent writing this album on my own, or writing as a group, or with others in the band. It doesn't really matter to me. I love it. That time spent, is a scratch on the time i have spent thinking and dreaming about this. As i said...obsession. I think what takes its toll is the fact that that passion spills out into other areas of life. It is uncontrollable and often overpowering. It can be wonderful. It can be destructive. It can be all the cliches. Really, it just makes you a boring person to hang out with.
However, in here, this thought process, this inability to switch off, is magnified a hundred fold. Does that make sense? Do you see my point? I am waffling. My mind has turned to cake again.
Exceptional take from the Whitworth senior today though. Please note.
