Description:
I wish I could say this one took three hours, but it was more like 30. Anyway, it came out really close to what I envisioned. I think Chris was about to punch me after asking for about the 20th guitar overdub. It's definetly some of his most creative playing. Barbara came in and did a nice job with the vocals, great voice. It was the first time I've worked with her, hopefully she will come sing some more. The lyrics are about getting outside, (OK, sex on the beach), and probably my growing frustration with Seattle's gloomy weather and a need for some time on a warm beach.

Lyrics:
Motion's Mine (Lyrics, Rich Huston, Music Rich Huston and Chris Winters)

Ocean divine
Your motion mine
Oh, what could we do with all this time?
Sandy toes, and feelin' the sign

My girl..watch for tides, on the way
My boy...on the beaches, crustaceans play
My girl...a seashell muse, we drift all day
till the moon ends our rays

Oh, ocean divine
What could we do to express our mind?
your smile divine
Moonlit and sand, your motion mine

My, girl, feel the wind, your salty hair
My boy, I look to you, a tide inside
My girl, lover muse, rolling waves
And we...till our tans begin to sway

Solo

Oh, ocean divine
What could we do to express our mind?
With all this time
In the sand, we feel the signs

Not coming from the sea
Oh the wave
Not coming from the sea
Oh the wave
Not coming from the sea
Oh the wave
Till our tans, begin to sway

Inside an ocean, where I've lost my way

Bit of a change of pace this, isn't it???
Firstly, i assume Barb isn't American, as she's got the kind of foreign pronounciation which I find really , er, well, she's got a very appealing voice (sounds a little like one of the girls from Xmal Deutschland). I need a few more listens on this - it's a nice poppy track (not sure about shoe gazing), and the structure is fine, but the chorus feels like it needs a bit more ooomph. On my crap Vaio, the vocal sounds a little loud and dry, and the guitar a liitle too much in the background. Great bass as per, and some really nice guitar work from Chris - the solo almost sounds backward.

Will have a chew on this.

Barbara is Italian, which lends an interesting twist to the pronunciation. I like it, adds a whole new dimension to the song. I was sorta going for a shoegazing type track, lots of guitars, noise without being too over the top. I actually pulled the reverb back a bit on the vocals, for some contrast with all the guitar effects. I still think they are a tad high in the mix. I love the backwards sounding solo. It makes me swoon.

Any comparison to a 4ad band is a compliment in my book! I love 4ad~!

I still hunt for Xmal on itunes, but they don't seem to have them yet! i think Ride were my favourite shoe gazers - Going blank Again is an excellent album. It all comes back again, anyway - there'll probably be a revival soon.

I was the same with 4AD - I'd buy records just cause of the label (although I did get some stinkers - The Wolfgang Press first album wasn't very good...)

Ididn't know that "sex on the beach" was a 4AD/shoegazing type of topic :). I like this song. The voice is nice, in a sunny siouxsie kind of way.

I know My Bloody Valentine isn't a 4ad band, but definitely a shoegazer band. And every song is about sex :)
