Ennismore

Backdated, archival post

---&---

This morning I listened to Colin Blunstone's Ennismore.  I noticed a couple things about two songs, but since they're not major points, I'm putting them in the same post. 
The first thing I noticed is in "I Don't Believe in Miracles."  After the line "I believe I was your game, your ball" in the lead vocals, the backing vocals echo, "Your ball."  There's something of a glissando on that "ball" though, so the pitch is raised as the word is sung, which anticipates the next line in the lead vocals: "If you threw me up, then I would fall." 
The other thing I noticed is that in "Andorra" after "rain" in the line "But down the mountains came the rain to soak our head," there's a guitar part that seems to represent raindrops.
Some notes on Ennismore from my Collection Audit project.

An-other thing I noticed when I listened to the album this morning is that I have a few notes wrong in the bass part for "I Want Some More," which I'll get to correcting in a few days.
