You might be wondering “What Else?” from this little floating head… I wanted to draw a little more attention to this song (among the 3 that I released together in December, and missing from my studio medley vid) as well as the people that helped me make it — before the next one comes out! “What Else?” is perhaps the most (musically) easy-going song on the whole project. Of course I had to counter that with lyrics about death, loneliness, addiction and depression… Generally, a typically human lack of fulfillment, even in possession of one of the most miraculous and rare gifts: YOU. The song didn’t have too much of an arrangement, other than the 3-stanza/3-part form and “sunset boulevard” guitar solo, but when I started getting these pedal steel backgrounds from @tylerliebinsta and layering them over one another it elevated the track to something special. Tyler took a few solos as well, and I just couldn’t resist making a pedal steel and a guitar composite and having them play off one another for a “double solo.” The result can be a bit chaotic at times, but I think it’s interesting and interactive enough to bear many listens. It also allows me to feature the pedal steel that much more—as I said—a vital, if not anticipated element on the track. 🌊 Otherwise it’s a pretty meat & taters rock trio: the beds were laid down live by @bassphiler🎸, @loui.william🥁, and myself🎸 session/mix: @silversidesound mst: @woodshoprecordingstudios 📸 @sydwoodward_ #indie #indierock #singersongwriter #songbackground #backgrounds #solos #doublesolo #fender #warmoth #telecaster #gibsonpickups #fendertwinreverb #kemper #pedalsteel https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7QqRkJ1Dh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
