	A moody instrumenal song with haunting harmonica and slide guitar melodies.
	Credits: Music Written and Performed by: Scott McKay
	Story Behind the Song The song was written in 5 minutes on a dull Sunday afternoon and was recorded a week later with the intention of being just an acoustic guitar with harmonica playing the melody. The song soon involved during the recording process with electric slide guitar and backwards guitar loops to make the sound more complete. The moving slide guitar solo was recorded accidentally through a cheap computer mic sitting at the opposite end of the room as I had plugged in the wrong cable. It turned out this sound was the one I used as later takes with a "proper" microphone sounded less natural. The acoustic guitar is in "double dropped D" tuning and all electric guitars are tuned to standard tuning.
