BLOGLINE ENDEAVOR... I Will Tell You Your Story

"What did you think you were trying to do..."

Five pieces of equipment that I used for the songwriting process included my Yamaha PSS-460 keyboard (consumer based mini-key keyboard), Dual cassette home stereo, microphone, guitar amplifier, and for this recording in particular - my brother's Cort Les Paul.

I can't remember exactly where I got the idea to play guitar on this track but it just seemed to fit upon hearing the final mix. I do remember recording several takes of this song especially for the guitar track. Originally, I had a distorted signal on the guitar which I was able to get through my Gorilla amp. Several takes were recorded on a separate tape that are buried somewhere deep in the SUB ONE archives. When I find these tapes, I will share the recordings here on the SUB ONE blog.

After doing several takes on a dirty channel, I decided to try the guitar through a clean channel and it sounded so much better. The context of the lyrics are about asking questions to friends and family about life in general and how sometimes those answers might sound like lies or preaching hate.

Recorded on June 28, 1989, this is 'I Will Tell You Your Story' by D.H. Chandler
