I honestly don't mind how crazy it's gotten over there, it's quite amusing but I don't really get any engagemen anymore. And the interface is atrocious looking now!

8. I liked the breathy sound so much I pushed the main vocal back in the mix and brought the harmony part forward. I tend to prefer the songs that sound unlike anything else I've done. Magic.

7. Tubular bells give an appropriately Christmas feel, peeling on the clang association of the word 'trigger'. The main vocal was supposed to be the supporting harmony, in 5ths I believe.

6. The music reminds me of something Scott Walker might have sung over. My best Chamber Pop. The guitar didn't survive the final version. The repetitive riff taken up by the cellos, basses & tubas of the keyboard orchestra instead.

5. I described it as best I could in real time. Getting the feel across more than the logic of it. Scrambling to keep up with the live feed. I haven't changed a single word. I've tried that same process so many times before and after to no avail. Improvised a song. Magic.

4. After a few minutes of frankly unusable nonsense, still singing, a scene flashed forwards from murky subconscious. A walk in the snow. An overbearingly large full moon. Darkness. Green coats and shoes. A girl.

3. Strumming a single chord with a bit of a riff around it. Eyes closed. Sing the first thing that comes to mind. Remove, in fact, your mind. Get yourself out of the way and let the words come through.

2. Probably my favourite song on the album. It's creation was like a magical act, it still seems miraculous to me. I remember sitting in my bathroom, let's say 2007 again, probably around 3am, acoustic guitar, microphone, 4-track cassette recorder.
