"I Don't Want to Know"

Backdated, archival post

---&---


I tried doing some of the vocals for "I Don't Want to Know," and they actually turned out pretty good.  (Not as good as the original though, obviously.)

I had a lot of fun overdubbing my voice multiple times.  I double-tracked the lead vocals and triple-tracked the backing vocals.  The guitar is also double-tracked - I re-recorded it just on six-string, but it didn't sound too good, so I imported the twelve-string version I recorded on the 18th.  Since I record most of the VCP demos while listening to the original backing tracks, the tempi match.
