Already Done

Another break-up song. I wrote the words a few years ago. I had the original verse riff written, but I wrote the rest of the music for it in late February of 2010.

The band picked up on this song pretty quickly. This version is from our third rehearsal where we played the song together. Steve's bass part is fantastic and Dave O does a great job of complimenting the repetitive riff throughout the song. I think it was around this time that Dave O renamed the song, "Goin to get Beers!". You'll have to ask him why.

When Ben joined the band, we had a "just guitars and bass" rehearsal to try and figure out how we were going to integrate another guitar player into the fold. This song is cool because we butted my solo and Ben's solo right up against each other, showing the wildly different approaches people can take when playing over the exact same chord progressions.

This might have been the first song we recorded for Ghosts and Pride. I can't remember for sure, but I believe it is. Here's the original rough mix from the sessions. The snippet doesn't have any overdubs and has the original "rough" vocals. When we recorded, my guitar amp was in the vocal booth where I was playing and singing. It was turned up to "stun", so I couldn't hear much of what I was singing.
