I started recording the lyrics. I did a couple of takes on my microphone but it kept picking up sounds from my downstairs neighbors who I believe were moving furniture around. I had a choice between waiting for my neighbors to finish or getting really creative. I chose to get really creative, so instead of using my microphone, I used my phone’s mic instead which is pretty decent as far as mono mics go. I went with my phone’s mic because it would prove to be less of a pain recording on it in the makeshift tent I’d construct for this session. What I did was I took a metal walking stick and carefully placed it in the middle of my bed and covered it with a comforter blanket – the perfect soundproof system. I got in there and did 5 takes just to make sure. Got a little hot towards the end but it got the job done.
