The first three minutes of this piece was done in Reason. Loads of verb, everything slowed down to a mere 8 beats per minute. I didn't mind one long ambient piece, but this morning I came across an old 4-track cassette I recorded 17 years ago and at the last minute, put it at the end. My friends and I would record ourselves trying to sing in reverse and then flip the tape over to see if it sounded right (reminiscent of Twin Peaks). This was my attempt at a couple bgv's in harmony as well as a lead vocal (obviously using both terms here loosely!).

Won't you please...
call 911, I'm on fire

Call 911
Can't you see I'm on fire?
