Even though we’re wrapping up the current album, we couldn’t help but work on some new music recently. For the first time, Ryan offered to try playing guitar along to my vocals, instead of the other way around. He had sworn he couldn’t write music to lyrics, but I think our first attempt sounded pretty good. It’s a lyric I’ve been carrying around in my head for a few years now and had really wanted to do with Ryan. I once worked on a demo of them for a Bitstream Dream song, but something at the last minute pulled me away… Sometimes I really feel strongly about a song being “right” for Lovespirals, I can’t say why exactly. Anyway, hopefully this will be one of the demos we work up to a full song for the 3rd album. We’ve got quite a cache of partly written jams saved up. I guess that’s why we need to get this album out and gone, so we can start on the next with a fresh slate!

This song would likely be called “Sundrenched Tears,” BTW.
