Recorded on 2023-07-21 by yours truly
Thursday and Thrice have some genre overlap. They even collaborated on a live compilation in the Apple Stores in LA and New York. Therefore, I like Thursday.
In all seriousness, this song is absolutely amazing. It also has some extra personal meaning to me (which I won't go into, but know it's not got anything to do with the song's lyrics).
At the time of recording, I was just hours away from going on a two week holiday to Austria — I wouldn't have any time to play or record for a while. Oh and I hadn't packed yet, so I had to get this thing done quick. In the spirit of (partially?) letting go of my perfectionism — or rather the pursuit thereof — I went with the third take. It's not that bad, it's just that the RLKK-based fills are poorly timed, and the bridge could've been a lot better. General double bass parts are off, for the most part. I had no time I didn't take the time to mix properly, so the cymbals are a little quiet, the snare still sounds off and the kick is a bit loud.
I like how I play it tho.
I need to work on my timing and tempo consistency, especially during fills. The bridge here is just tricky (because of the four subsequent kicks after six triplet kicks hits in the "middle fill"), but most of the issues in the timing department could be fixed by a solid practice routine that focuses on these exact issues.
Apart from my standard "my timing sucks", I don't have a lot more to say here.
