candy falls here
i went through so many names
i look at words till they meant nothing
candy falls here was a late choice
kinda came from nowhere
and lodged itself in my mind
the album took so long to make
i thought it would take 6 weeks
it took over 6 months
it took over my life
i started putting stuff down to tape in october
we had a bunch of tracks that i knew i wanted to record
i was making up more each day
we had to stop and commit to some kind of plan
we were ending up with a box set
when i record things i fight alot
things get really nasty within the band
i start shouting and threatening everyone around me
i they say i care about things to much
i just wanna do the best i can
this is a big thing for me
this is my fucking album
i don't wanna cuss down the band
but whenever we record we have some issues to work out
i hate recording
it was all i wanted to do a while back
but that was when there was no one to listen the songs at the end
the days all melt into one another
i have no idea of the time
i have no idea of the date
sometimes i forget to eat for a few days
then wonder why i'm passing out
sometimes i don't leave the studio for up to a week
i live here
i work here
and it looks like i'm gonna die here
heading to Christmas/new year
i am so far behind
a multi-track busted and i had to track down a new one before the holidays
after 70 hours without sleep i tape over 2 songs we have done
they took me weeks to do
i wanna go back
i wish i had never claimed that i could record these songs
i don't know what i am doing anymore
i spend my time awake in a state of panic
i have no lyrics for most songs
i don't know how most of the songs begin or end
i just wanna sleep
i hear bands saying they recorded their album in 10 days
and i just wanna smack them
i am taking care of everything
a few times i fuck up and go to pull the plug
wipe the machines clean and just walk away
but i don't because that would let tony down
6.35 Christmas morning
i know that this is stupid
i am alone and recording guitars feeding back
i should be with people now
but all i love are miles away
i drive 200 miles later in the day
just to get a piece of love
i stay away from the studio for 2 days
i sleep like never before
i don't want to go back
end of 20th century i've cut it down to 20 tracks
i need to get it down to 14
by the time i finish the album
i will have recorded just under 2000 tracks of music
500 of these were for the guitars
when i listen back to a song
i can hear maybe 2-3 tracks of guitar
i am waiting my time
i am not winning...
