Story Behind the Song
This track was written about four years ago ('98) about a person struggling to rekindle faith in his relationship. I was in Raleigh after doing much touring and was frustrated with the band setting I was working in, so I sat down with my acoustic and churned out this song. The lyric "...and bind it up with St. Peter's Chain" was inspired by a best friend's mother calling and insisting that her name be used since she interrupted my lyric writing. Her name is Jane, but obviously I couldn't bind up the love in a "Jane", or could I?
It was recorded on a Yamaha MT50 four track with a Realistic PZM microphone, a Zoom 505 guitar processor, Zoom RT-123 drum machine, Roland Juno 106 keyboard, and after mixing was eq'd and compressed in Cubase 4.1.2 on an Apple G4. Now further mastered in Nuendo using Blue Tube EQ, compression, and limiting.
Lyrics
This was the first time that I saw the face that broke her heart,
And was it the first time that she fell so far?
Well I remember that we almost faked each other out, was it bad enough?
And I was dying ‘cause we almost erased it, wasn’t that enough?
She said…
"If you have to have my love,
Better make a little note of it, and bind it up
With St. Peter’s chain.
So rectify my love –
It’s heaven bound or this hell will drown it."
That was the last time that she found a place to put her love.
And now is a fine time to stoke the flames of her tender heart.
Well, I could never understand how to justify us when she’d had enough,
But now I see how my affliction could burn the passion out…
(I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I'm sorry)
She said…
"If you have to have my love,
Better make a little note of it, and bind it up
With St. Peter’s chain.
So rectify my love –
It’s heaven bound or this hell will drown it."
