We need these lyrics because we will start recording the drums for these songs in early May and it's so much nicer to record drums when there are roughly recorded vocals and guitars to drum to.We had forgotten how intense it can be to write lyrics. As we always try to write about what moves us, this comes with an emotional price. It does feel exciting to be in this next stage of making this album. Sharon is recording the first song with the new lyrics today. Next week we are recording more vocals with more lyrics. We'll keep you up to date!
