Whereas the earlier post off "Life in Session" was mostly a piece conceptualized by John. This is one I brought to him that he wrote the lyrics for. At the time, he'd broken up with a serious relationship over differences in what was acceptable behavior and so this lyric is actually predicated on a true story.
It's a dense mix. There's a shit-ton going on, and it is so busy, it is nigh impossible to get a lot of edges around the instruments and featured parts. So, in mixes like this, one must "pick their battles". It's thick, so the trick of it is to try to avoid full on blasting the listener with the overwhelm but for where it is necessary to "lift" the song's energy - which requires that there also be more straightforward parts in the song where only the essential necessary components are driving it.
You'll see what I mean if/when you listen.
But sometimes, even still, one sits back after walking the fine line, and asks if everything strikes as being perhaps a little "too over the top"?
