Nyob zoo, Tus kws qhia ntawv!

Looking back over the Adventure Things, I realized that the last we had shared of "Oh The Places You'll Go" was the bandscratch.

In some ways, I think this was intentional on my part, since it's a song that I loved when I wrote it, and I really loved the bandscratch, but as we recorded it I felt it lost something, and I had been leaning toward cutting it.

However, it's a really interesting case where we went back with another take on it a few weeks ago, and it really came back alive for me.

So, because the whole point of this adventure is to share the creative process warts and all, for the next few weeks I'm going to share all the interim pieces, even the versions I didn't really like and that made me like the song less. I think they're interesting, maybe even more so now that we have a version I really love.

Thus, picking up from the bandscratch, this is our drumscratch, where we laid down placeholder drums along with a scratch vocal and guitar, in order to use for the real drum tracking sessions that happened last April.

As a brand new parent, this song really hits home. Well done!

Same. I have never cried to a song before in my life... well, until this one. Having kids and wanting them to leave the nest someday and explore the world - being nervous about the tears but so excited about the adventures... it's just masterful.
