Mark Whitcomb

Cliff Hammer

Mark had an idea he wanted to work on basked on sort of a reggae rhythm that he had.

Tried it at A-flat then F-flat then F then we went back to A-flat

Tom couldn't hit the end high note so he went lower and mark sang the high harmony

Then listening back to the recordings Tom Voted for the Eminor everyone else liked the A-flat

then tried B which had more of a nick cave feel and Mark could play the harmony on guitar

Tried B-flat and it wasnt the same

C sounded more like the E minorish part

D just sounded weird to everyone

Decided on playing it in b cuz it seemed like it had more room for other parts and improvement as it was played

Then there was an idea for a B part recorded. Just a rough idea

Tom Ray

Mark Whitcomb

Mark did an arrangement of the song from the practice recording and laid down some drum samples and guitar and a vocal idea on top of the recording.

Then Tom and Mark wrote and recorded new verses in a style trying to paint a scene with the lyics.

Re-recorded the chorus and the original verse line that Mark did became the bridge in the song.

Song is titled Chocolate and Cocaine.

Lyrics

It seems like, it happens more at night

The angel and the devil live inside

Truly, when we were on the rise

Truly, when we were on the run

And it really could've been anyone

It was in her smile

It was in her eyes

It was in her vein

Chocolate and Cocaine

A kiss in the street, and so soon you're gone

We finally meet and then the wheels come off

Already, Already, on the end

Already, Already, And it really could've been anyone

It was in her smile

It was in her eyes

It was in her vein

Chocolate and Cocaine

Truly, when we were on the rise

Truly, when we were on the run

Truly, when we were on the rise

And it really could've been anyone

Truly, when we were on the rise

Truly, when we were on the run

Truly, when we were on the rise

And it really could've been anyone

It was in her smile

It was in her eyes

It was in her vein

Chocolate and Cocaine
