As part of my
Collection Audit project, I'm listening to
The Decca Stereo Anthology (& I wrote
a short post about "Woman"). The enormity and impossibility of this project hit me while I was listening to it this morning. Realistically, there is absolutely no way that I'll ever be able to play every part of every song exactly how the Zombies did. Partially because I'm not as good of a musician as they were/are, partially because no matter how closely I listen to the songs, I won't be able to figure out every single note (especially in the keyboard parts), and partially because I'm obviously not them. Probably other reasons too.
But despite all of that, I'm still going to try. Because doing this project does make me a better musician and it's made me discover things about the Zombies' music that I probably would never have found out otherwise.
