Track 5: Harmour Love (aiff)
This is it. The wedding is over. We just have to play something for the wedding party to turn around and happily walk out the church. To us, nothing seemed happier than Harmour Love by Syreeta (go ahead, look up the lyrics…I’ll wait). Now, when we were arranging this song, Mike was whistling the lead as we strummed some chords. This was saved to a Dropbox folder where Jeff and Ashley would monitor our progress. I’ll just say, when planning a wedding’s music; it’s probably advisable not to share every last demo or scratch take with the couple. What you hear here is the final arrangement on two guitars. On the wedding day, Mike and I swapped the lead and rhythm roles. For the album, we decided that this song would be performed entirely by Mike. One evening he came to my apartment and laid down the tracks: one rhythm and two lead tracks. I mastered the song a few days later, swapping the lead tracks a few times back and forth.
