Watch Me Fly…

Watch Me Fly…

This is a very emotional song and my big favorite. We used the MIT Studio in the metropolitan area from midnight to dawn and recorded the demo included in this song, but the one that I strummed in the natural high condition of midnight, making it suitable for the tape is the original form of this guitar solo. It was too natural, so I kept the take the whole time, and I remember I replayed it properly following that in the recording of the performance. The part before the bridge on the way is what I’d cut with scissors inside the multitape in the studio when recording the vocal. That kind of edit, which I would seem to end up completing at ease if working with professional tools nowadays, was carried out with the method of cutting and joining the tapes with assistants’ manual labors in the studios of those days!
