First, thank you for the comments on my tracks. I feel really bad that I haven't had a chance to listen to many tracks this year. Life has been a bit hectic (to say the least) but I do look forward to listening more. Thanks again! -chad
Here's another Farthington Cloud Formation track with my pal and singer Bobby Bergland. We originally recorded this in Dec 2017 so this was due for a final mix and some touch-ups. I originally wrote this on the Ableton Push using grand piano samples. I brought this to Bobby and I think he did a wicked job on the vox.
Here are Bobby's notes:
I would like to reveal that this song has some dusky, veiled meaning, but if I'm honest, it was really just environmental observations and a reflection on Vietnam viewed through the lens of a Ken Burns documentary that Chad and I had just watched separately. That program provided lots of imagery to riff on, and in a rare Texas snow event, Chad and I were trapped indoors and took to the recording device to sketch down some soundthoughts. Looking back, I can still feel that bracing watery air that greeted us the next day, and as is Texas tradition, the juicy weeds flourished soon after the storm. "A Child named City" came from a long forgotten poem that I once wrote and a comment from my friend Phil Duple who once noted that when a place is named (something) city...it is typically anything but.
