My Newest Recording – She Knows All The Colors
April 11th, 2012 . by Alexander Fisher
Last year at this time I wrote a song for my wife Jill’s birthday. This year quite by accident I wrote a song inspired by Jill called She Knows All The Colors, just about a week after her birthday and a few days after our anniversary. I had the concept and Jill fit right in.
Anyone that knows Jill, also knows that color has been important in her life since she was young. She was always the pretty girl who knew how to apply makeup, but it helps when you have eyelashes that long. She’s always been that pretty girl. It’s also about the other kinds of color Jill radiates and receives.
I wrote the song in a third person. I guess I am telling myself what a lucky guy I am. I got her and you didn’t. She whispers to me.
She Knows All The Colors
This is the first recording I have done on my Tascam interface. It worked fine. I still like my PreSonus, but it’s dead. I played electric guitar, bass guitar, tambourine, and organ on this track. I also programmed the drum software.
I sang all the vocals, but I got Jill to add a word near the end. It is Jill’s first recorded vocal performance. In case you are wondering, I say the word color or colors seventeen times in the song.
