*** Update: I've run this track through a narrow-notch EQ; Feedback significantly reduced ***

I recorded this live for the Oscar's Bar CD. There's a bit of feedback, which is a shame, but otherwise it went rather well :). This is one of those rare live recordings that I'm actually really happy with; there's usually at least one major mistake when I realise I've nearly made it to the end, blemish free.

I intended this song to be a condensed timeline of familiarity: beginning; middle; end. It's the first song that manages to achieve a bloody narrative - something I've been trying to do for ages (without flaking and sticking to an early, sparsely logical draft). Lyrical contiguity hasn't been my strong point in the past :S. Lazy n0ob.

I like this song a lot, but I think it might need an extra something somewhere. It feels a little repetitive. I don't know, I guess it depends on where I'd prefer it to sit in the folk/pop balance. Ho hum.
