The sun was setting brilliantly and the birds were singing

After a long day spent recording vocals for “Shake Down” during the lockdown of early 2020, the sun was setting brilliantly and the birds were singing in the trees, just recently returning from their hiatus down south.

I opened up the windows, cranked up the input level on the microphone, and pointed it out toward the street. Dropping the audio into the outro created a somewhat optimistic conclusion to a rumbling, distorted beginning.

After an incredibly tumultuous start to the year, that moment felt hopeful.
