about

06 Waiting for the Dam to Break
Dan Nettles: Guitar
Rick Lollar: Acoustic guitar
Robby Handley: Basses
Marlon Patton: drums
Prepared cassettes at end performed by Dan and Rick

Composition and recording:
Add this to my stack of “songs in drop D but not in D”. At the heart of this song is the C chord over an F root, which is kinda what happens easily on guitar in drop D tuning. Rhythmisizing this with a movement from F to C created an intriguing sound and by this point the melody had begun, a simple phrase that manages to dance across the F to C movement. The melody took the lead at this point and drew me to the next two phrases, the final one holding on an extended G, hinting at the whole “waiting” concept.

In recording, I decided that careful layering would really serve the song’s simple spirit and keep interest, especially putting the melody with Robby in the bass before moving to the short guitar solo. At the end, several tapes of sustained guitar notes are played, and ended all at one.
