Hello OurBasement
“Way Way Back” juxtaposes love, both new and familiar, along with the perculiar space it occupies in one’s mind. Diving into the internal, emotional conflict individuals face when rekindling an old flame. Recorded in Nashville’s Mt. Eden Studios and produced by Clark, who also lends his musicianship on the keyboard, guitar, and vocals. The ambient track also features the mellow percussion of Jerry Roe (Rodney Crowell, EmmyLou Harris, Luke Combs) on drums.
My partner said something once about the idea when people get back together with past romantic partners. You always go as far as you’ve gone. If you slept together back then, you’d sleep together again. I thought it was a funny thought, and definitely true. But, it’s not something I’d ever heard anyone say out loud. So, I took that idea and explored the peculiar space that old sexual partners seem to occupy in everyone’s mind. It can be hard to escape the comfort and nostalgia that memory lane offers, and that’s what “Way Way Back” is about. The whole song — production and arrangement — is indicative of this push and pull between the risky excitement of something new and the ease of something familiar. – Donovan Woods
Thanks for listening!

Hello
Good Morning
Good morning
Today is the last outdoor market of the year so I am heading out to get me more rabbit food.
Back later today
Yay Donovan Woods!
Good day folks! 😀
I’m back with pesto making ingredients; basil pesto and also going to try a parsley pesto.
Also some mushrooms for a coconut mushroom soup.
I’m not sure where the energy is going to come from to make all this food but here’s to trying.
I agree; yay Donovan Woods:)
I have to say that I love his recordings but the one time I saw him live I was terribly disappointed in the overall sound of the music he was performing.
That is disappointing when the sound doesn’t live up to expectations. Was it the venue, sound person, him, hard to say? I do enjoy following his tweets. He has a self-deprecating type of humour but is amusing.
I wish I had half the energy you do for preparing healthy delicious food! btw
The sound was well balanced between vocals and instruments and he was in tune but it was just flat sounding.
I can cook at my own speed in a nice quiet environment so it is something I can feel a sense of accomplishment doing. Seeing as I am not able to do much else I do spend the time on it. I wish I could get up to half of all the other types of fun you get up to @darbar;)
I have listened to Bernard Adamus as well as Klo Pelgag and am enjoying them both.
Thank you all so much for helping me find some music to explore while I’m in Quebec City.
We have a sunny afternoon here so I’m going to go and watch the Chickadees for a while; now they make some wonderful music!!!
That sounds lovely morgana. Enjoy that while I am down in my windowless dungeon. Ha!
Our weather is getting cooler this week and snow is even in the forecast for Sunday. Ack!! Glad my sister and I got one last quick camping trip in last weekend.
I can often find singer songwriters…um flat. Unless they have percussion with them. hehe
I am sure there is lots to explore in Quebec City already but adding some music is always a good idea.
