Armistice plays The Jongleurs

Post by Armistice »

Well, sort of...

I was actually just setting up my Sonos speaker for GF so she could listen to internet radio and was showing her how to do it from my phone and the last song I had played from my phone was Artic Monkeys which is the folder after Armistice, which when I looked at it said I had 7 albums...

Wait, what? No I don't... :eep:

Anyway I opened the album that had 1 song in it and found this - and while I'm sure it's also on the recording PC somewhere it's not generally in my library on my general laptop, so bit of a mystery as to how it's on my phone. :confused:

So The Jongleurs / Absence had 13 songs. I wrote 7, he wrote 6. I sang (lead on) 6, he sang (lead on) 7 - so this is the one of mine he sang. Somewhere along the way I obviously decided that seeing it was my damn song, I should have a version without him on it. And here it be...

I don't actually remember doing it, although clearly I did. It's the same backing, I've just erased his voice and replaced with mine - which seeing I can't get the super high (relatively) note, I've done a slightly different take on. Pretty sure I played all the guitars on the recording anyway. This was at the "I'll get it set up, you just come and sing" stage when I didn't know, given the pending birth of his second child, if the album would ever be completed. There are a few songs on the album he doesn't actually play guitar on. This is one.

Obviously, mix feedback would just be a bit of a waste of time, just putting it here for those interested. :punk:

A cool "version" the melancholy suits your voice a little better than his.

Huh... this sounds really familiar. Are you sure you haven't posted this version before?

I may have many years ago when I first did it, but probably not here, over on HR. Can't remember. I was just surprised to find it.

Thanks @JD01 , @rayc and @WhiskeyJack - I can include it on the 2030 re-re-re-re-master of Absence as a special bonus track, perhaps. :biggrin:
