about

This song was also mostly recorded in Wenzhou. It started in my apartment where I recorded the guitar (iPhone). Then, I added more of those drums I recorded at the church, as well as some samples of hand claps and a Taiko drum. This inspired me to use the sample I recorded of the WVU Taiko ensemble rehearsing in the Clay Theatre (Morgantown, WV). After that, fake bass & lead guitar & some effects with my acoustic guitar and pedals. Lastly, I recorded vocals before going out to skateboard to the swimming pool.

lyrics

I've been beating down the door.
For what?
Are you coming swimming?
Why not?
I've been flailing in the sun
without you.
Please come swimming with me.
Why not?
I've been waiting for a slice
of pool-side-pizza with you.
So come and get some.
Why not?
Sun tan by the pool side.
I'm here waiting for you.
