An attempt at writing a love letter to a girl I’d just started dating.

The vocals could have used a little rehearsal, methinks. August plays bass.

You remember the first time you figured out how to flip the tape over and make music play backwards? Well, I do. It was when I made this song.

One of my better attempts at four-tracking with an acoustic guitar and a simple song idea. Intended to overdub a horn section in the middle there, but much like with The Who singing “cello” on A Quick One, I just never got around to it.

Sheer jest. I think August and I were up late, just playing song ideas. You can hear him singing a little backup in there.

The idea here was to base a simple song around the effect of a handheld tape recorder being paused and un-paused repeatedly, during a recording. Most of the vocal sounds were August. It sounds strange now.
