I remember workshopping this demo for a long while in my home studio, wanting to make sure it was just right.
I wanted a song that felt like its own journey - an album within an album - something that slowly ascended at a slight incline before gaining speed and flying off a cliff.
I kept picturing the white lines of a highway passing beneath a car as the metronome to the song. I imagined the white lines passing faster and faster until they were one continuous blur.
I cherish this demo and got a bad case of demo-itis from it and it was really hard for me to let some of the sonic elements go once in the studio with Aaron. I am so proud of what we achieved, especially with Aarons guitar solo and Lucinda Williams on the track, but I do feel this demo captured something that can only be captured in the delicate early moments of having just written a new song - it is very close to my heart.
I hope you all enjoy,
