Still There
“Still There” was created as a team effort..... I had some cool sounding chord progressions laying around and Deena came up with the words and melody within a matter of minutes, or so it seemed........
The song just flowed out of her, and when she had sang back what she had written, I knew her heart, and soul was deep into it, and I wanted to capture it immediately in the recording studio. I asked her how she wrote it and she said that it's just how she felt at the time...Getting over a lost relationship, and being stuck in the past- holding on to nothing but memeories.
I e-mailed the song to my brother Mark, and he came up with his own idea of what the bass line should sound like. He wanted a bass line that danced around, almost in a tormenting way, weaving in and out with the guitar and vocals, a call and response theme sometimes, without playing a straight-ahead, and predictable bass line. It's in a world of it's own, creating it’s own little hooks, yet relevant to the song, and refreshing to hear.
