sorrows of tomorrow - what's the story with this one?
'sorrows of tomorrow' itself started with howard's ukulele and voice and then horsemouth adds slide guitars - the first time horsemouth played the lapsteel guitar on this he improvised a great part for it ...er... and then couldn't remember how to play it again. the part at the start is what he could remember of it. the lyrics enchain - the last part of the line is the first bit of the next line (this was horsemouth's contribution to the lyric writing process, that and recommending repeating part of the lyrics rather than writing anything new). there's a kind of boom-bip on it made by dulling the strings on the lapsteel guitar.
- golden one (folk). they'd written the lyrics before, howard arrived with new chords for them and a new melody, horsemouth just follows along (as he does on 'painted toes').
- sad and lonely. learnt from the sample used by dj shadow from susan reed's 'I'm sad and I'm lonely' - howard had changed the chords, horsemouth just just fingerpicks along as he does on howard's 'magic memory girl'
