    Story Behind the Song
    Motivation: I wanted to write a slow song in drop D tuning. So I did.

    Lyrics: The lyrics are about wanting to protect someone, obviously. I have no idea what the verses are about, I found them in a text file on my computer. I wrote them so cryptically so that even I don't know what they mean.

    Where?: It was written in my bedroom. The chorus was written at work and I emailed the lyrics and described what it sounded like to myself so I wouldn't forget it.

    How long to write?: The music didn't take long at all to write. I have no idea how long it took to write the lyrics.

    How long to record?: About half an hour I think... and a bit longer to mix.

    How many takes?: One take for each instrument. Sadly I'm not a perfectionist:

    2 electric guitars (one that plays all the way through, one that plays in the bridges and chorus')
    1 clean electric guitar (reversed, that floaty sound in the intro)
    Bass guitar
    Vocals
    Synthetic percussion

    Lyrics
    Difficult to concentrate
    When your tears aleviate
    It's difficult when we're along
    It's difficult to just go home
    Leave your face and ours behind
    Make a toast to your good time
    Take your wishes interstate
    Place me up with my own fate

    I keep you under my wing
    I'll keep you from everything
    I keep you under my wing
    I'll keep you from everything

    All the time I make you pay
    All the time you take away from me
    Tearing at my own youth
    Tearing until there's no use

    I keep you under my wing
    Keep you from everything

    And there's no time
    And there's no time

    Keep you under my wing
    Keep you from everything
