For Louisa


Get Flash to see this player.

Description
Based on a letter written by a fictitious soldier in a historical war to his fictitious sweetheart.

This was recorded in about 5 hours. Due to some lazy and bad studio technique there are little noises here and there.

Lyrics
When I left your side/I closed my eyes/
(If I) let nothing else in/you would stay/(but) oh the things I've seen/on this campaign/(I've) brought lives to an end/and shed no tears/when I do return/to your arms/will my hands be cold/my heart black

wheres the love?
i am surprised that no one has commented on this
haunting but comforting piece. very nice guitar work and
harmonies. don't forget that only YOU can hear the things
that but you most about a recording. ambient noise is in
and so are squeaky frets!

cheers

Thanks for your comments! To tell the truth I was also expecting more of
them. I guess I'll just have to be patient.

I know I could probably just look this up, but if anyone has tips for condenser
mic placement when recording acoustic guitar, I'd love to hear them. As you
can probably tell from the recording, I picked up a lot of bass frequency, and
while that's nice for heavy strumming, I'd like a little more clarity when
fingerpicking.

Sounds just fine to me!
I liked this a lot. It has a great feel to it. I think the ambient noise and squeaky frets make it more "real."
