The initial idea for the song came from another song which is heared towards the end of the clip.
Recorded just after creating the idea for the intro.
The 12 string was recorded using a large diaphragm condenser pointed towards the 12th fret with a spaced pair of small diaphragm condensers panned left and right to switch to when the song opens up.
This is the least I've ever had to process drums. They sat so nicely in the mix instantly, perhaps a testament to Oli's drumming and tuning rather than myself...
