		+	Sara, this song is super awesome.
		+
		+	Here's what I wrote to you about this song in an email:
		+
		+	dude, this tune is totally classic. i think it's got a really great dynamic between all the structural pieces,
		+	which is to say that each part really does its job momentum-wise. i think it might be the best thing you've
		+	written, musically. it's just really purposeful and well-paced. the melodies play a huge part in those dynamic
		+	shifts, as well.
		+
		+	also, i have to say, this sounds more like a starlister song than anything you've ever done. it wouldn't have to
		+	be played that way, but it could.
		+
		+	i like the return to the beginning YLF-type move*, as well.
		+
		+	bridges rule. good bridges make songs. like this one.
		+
		+	i want to hear the smashing pumpkins play this song. i think an almost out-of-control jimmy chamberlain drum part
		+	(a la "stand inside your love") would sound really hot on this.
		+
		+	man, sj. nice freaking work. let's make a songwriting website and race to 100 songs. it might take ten years,
		+	but maybe not. one thing we should do is cover each other's songs. i would cover this one. : )
		+
		+	And then I did cover it:
		+
		+	[[Sigh & Goodbye (Gabe)]]
		+
		+	It took me a little while to figure out that chord that you mention above, but I did, and I wrote it down, but I can't remember what it is, so I'll check on it and get back to you.
		+
		+	* For those unaware: the "YLF-type move" is returning to the intro again at the end of the song, the way the Passerines song You Look Familiar did.

-i recorded this in cold san francisco june into july, in my bedroom, on a dell inspiron 6000 using behringer eurorack something or other with a couple of channels and the all-powerful PHANTOM POWER. there are four guitar tracks, two clean and two big muffed, all recorded direct into the mixer, and two tracks of each vocal part, recorded with an incredibly shitty mic and a little too much gin. i'm going to re-do this song now that i have an sm57 and can actually play the chords.<br>
+i recorded this late at night, in cold san francisco june into july, in my bedroom, on a dell inspiron 6000 running vegas, using a behringer eurorack something or other mixer with a couple of channels and the all-powerful PHANTOM POWER. there are four guitar tracks, two clean and two big muffed, all recorded direct into the mixer, and two tracks of each vocal part, recorded with an incredibly shitty mic and a little too much gin. i already redid the vocals once after brian reminded me that you can turn up the line in under volume:recording in windows. previously they were my bloody valentine dreamy, very hissy, and totally unintelligible.<br>
 <br>
-there's one chord i can't figure out, which is shameful but true: the second pre-chorus chord, under the lines "i know it's not true" and "tell me it's not true." if anyone can figure it out and let me know, i'll mail you delicious vegan cookies.<br>

 <br>
-i wrote it about that one love that sticks with you. i think i mean the person who was around when some parts of your personality or tastes got settled, so that you always think of them and maybe long for them.<br>
+there's one chord i can't figure out, though, shameful but true: the second pre-chorus chord. it occurs under the lines "i know it's not true" and "tell me it's not true." if anyone can figure it out and let me know, i'll mail you delicious vegan cookies.<br>
