about

This song was recorded mostly improv. The drumbeat was programmed for another song; which I can't remember. Here, I slowed it down to around 20bpm and then improved the two guitars and the vocals almost completely. It was recorded on an old Aiwa compact stereo which had a dual-cassette deck with an input that was mixed with the signal from cassette A and could be recorded to cassette B. That is how I recorded all my musique in the years around 1996-ish; with a few 4-track recordings as the exceptions.

Trivia: I have absolutely no idea how to play this song now.

lyrics

Fuel is burning.
I am lighting it with my match.
Smoke stacks are a metaphor.
All my life I am a constant.

I am going up.
