# Song Info # Home Demo
- The first part of the song is based on an e-mail from my Mum. I twisted her words around, as if I was saying them to her – but it’s actually a para-phrase of what she was writing to me… if that makes sense.
- Kind of helped get me into character and trigger the song…because I had nothing to say at the start…or so I thought.

# General Excuse Disclaimer # Home Demo
- These old home demo tracks are just rough notebook references for me.
- When possible, soon after writing a song, I record a solo/live version –so I don’t forget the basic idea.
- Sometimes, with the help of a few drinks I might start layering up some other tracks – the catch being, I don’t use click tracks etc,
and if it turns out the original guide vocal/guitar track was a bit out of tune,
or has me wailing a pretend guitar lead with my voice in the back ground…I’m stuck with it in the mix.
- And sometimes the songs are quite long as I’m just exploring the idea a bit on the fly // And of course, normally missing bass and other well played instruments....
- So – not polished studio recordings or 100% finished songs even – just sharing for your interest.

# Recording Info # 19.08.21 - Live DUO with Jens Skwirblies
Part of the "StreamPunk St.Pauli" Live streaming concerts held during Covid.
The Draft House - Reeperbahn, St.Pauli, Hamburg, Germany
Recorded by BUNKER

Never played the song live together before, just did a quick check during set up - jammed during the Live set. Only the second time that year, Jens and I had got together to play.

Thanks for listening / matt

about

Matt Charles Hamburg, Germany

The Tasmanian-born singer songwriter’s debut album, Java Tsunami, chases down a classic rock sound that’s fuelled with honest and achingly powerful songs.

Matt Charles writes songs that are honest and clear. The themes are universal, and tips their hat to the tradition of folk and blues, where life, love and loss strikes the chord in each of us, regardless of what musical fashion dictates.
