The idea here was to base a simple song around the effect of a handheld tape recorder being paused and un-paused repeatedly, during a recording. Most of the vocal sounds were August. It sounds strange now.
I’ll See You Again
Very insistent that we would see each other again. No room for debate or discussion there. Wasn’t in the mood to write a ton of lyrics, it is a song of economy.

Both Ways
You remember the first time you figured out how to flip the tape over and make music play backwards? Well, I do. It was when I made this song.
