"Summer and Lightning"

In the first section of:
Here it comes again
It's all around me
It must be magic
Yeah, yeah, yeah
in "Summer and Lightning," the vocal tracks are panned hard left and hard right.  This feature of the mix provides a sense of being surrounded and portrays the line "It's all around me."

"Summer and Lightning"

Backdated, archival post

---&---


A couple days ago, I figured out the chords for "Summer and Lightning" (up until about 2:42, when things change).  This morning I figured out the bass part, too, which makes listening to this a bit more interesting.

This is just the first section.  I'm almost certain I don't have the guitar strumming rhythm right, but that's not a priority right now.  I think it's twelve-string acoustic guitar on the record, but since the only twelve-string I have is electric, I just doubled-tracked my six-string acoustic guitar to get something of the same effect.
