I recorded this song for my first project of the Spring semester 2018 at Bloomsburg University. The rules of this project was to basically recreate a grammy winning song from any year and make it as close to the original as possible. After we chose three songs we wanted to do, our professor chose one of those out of the three for us to record. I was hoping the entire time that he would choose "What A Fool Believes" and it turned out he did. I'm not sure if he knew about my past endeavor with this song or not, but either way it was a surprisingly challenging thing to map out at first. It was very fun to do though. I was lucky enough to have Aaron Eldred play piano, synth, and bass on this track. He was very professional and quick. Probably one of the smoothest sessions I've ever done and he was a pleasure to work with. I also had my friend David Falacko on guitar again as I did on the previous Nick Drake cover from last semester. This dude is a really talented guitarist and he knocked out his part really fast as well. The guitar in the song originally is kind of a background instrument (surprising for a rock/pop song) so he doesn't get to shine as much as Aaron did, but he made the whole process fun and fast.
