Description
When I started recording this song it developed into a Portishead kind of thing and I'm certain I was influenced by listening to Char's recent work. Her voice has that same emotional timeless quality that I hear in Beth Gibbons. I sent Char the music and she was kind enough to lend her poetry and vocal talents.
A word on the production. Due to a microphone issue Char had to record using the pinhole mic on her computer. I encouraged her to do so - because I thought I could make that sound quality work. You tell me if I succeeded. I cleaned up the white noise with noise reduction in Audacity and did my best to create an atmospheric effect without losing the words.
Thanks Char - you're a champ.

Lyrics
Like food for my soul
You comfort me, you comfort me
And I can't feel whole
I live for your words
They define me, they define me
Divided in thirds;
Eat, drink, sleep me, individually
I rest in your love
It shelters me, it shelters me
Below or above
You are all that I am eternally
So when we're apart
I don't exist, I don't exist
We share this one heart
So please feed my soul
And love with me, and love with me
You're cast in that role
Being consumed by my love completely

You comfort me, you comfort me
And I can't feel whole
I live for your words
They define me, they define me
Divided in thirds;
Eat, drink, sleep me, individually
I rest in your love
It shelters me, it shelters me
Below or above
You are all that I am eternally
So when we're apart
I don't exist, I don't exist
We share this one heart
So please feed my soul
And love with me, and love with me
You're cast in that role
Being consumed by my love completely

GOOD GOD - this is awesome!! That Char is good with words isn't she? And these vocals over Bud's guitar, keyboards, etc, - wow, it just sounds so other worldly. I love the vocal echo-y effect, and the vocals sound great to me! Way to go Bud and Char - very cool!
