the edges don't quite match up (but they sound like they might). he confidently goes for the note (but it's not the right chord underneath it). the guitar parts sound purposeful (like they would work) but the drums are missing (or rather they're there but turned down so low they can't do their work - there's a whole pop single in there sunk beneath the waves).
horsemouth often talks about recording as if it were housebuilding - a firm foundation - as long as you have a firm foundation you can build something upon it. this is more like a ghost house with hidden rooms and passages.
it sounds like something where their concentration has slipped and they don't know how to fix it. and now they can't bear to throw it away.
couldn't someone just sort it out goes horsemouth (missing the point entirely). have you got it yet?
-------------------------------------
horsemouth is confirmed believer in the church of the firm foundation (this is why he is always interested in drum and bass and rhythm guitar). if you have a tough rhythmic conception then the track will almost certainly work. turn yr heater on works - it works because it's a one-drop (and because it's basically the telephone love rhythm). there are lots of other things that work about it (the melodicas impersonating horn sections - genius!)
he was slightly miffed that howard got in there ahead of him and did the the bassline.
'I feel... so alone... at night...'
horsemouth supposes this is what the song is about - an admission of vulnerability. it is both ghost town and there is a light - the night drive. (pardon him - it has been a long time since he listened to this stuff).
horsemouth is coming out of his cough and cold. he's feeling more like walking. he's out of coffee.
