Recording “fighter”
On saturday, my girlfriend was away for the day so i had the flat all to myself, giving me plenty of time to record “fighter”. So there i was, practicing the bass line when i felt a little hungry. I went to the kitchen, grabbed a glass, went over the sink to rinse it and my feet were covered in water!!! A pipe was leaking from under the sink and there was a huge pool of water in front of it.
Being the plumbing expert that i am, i swore a lot, panicked, started sweating, tentatively checked out what was happening, panicked some more, thought about calling our handyman & panicked some more. Finally, amidst all this, i managed to work out where it was coming from, and to stop it.
I lost more than two hours dealing with this so it wasn’t until 2.30 that i went back to recording, and everything had to be wrapped up at 5.30, which was the time i had promised to call my friend who lives in Finland. Who says you can’t record and edit bass, guitar and vocals in under 3 hours?
Looking back on it, the events actually helped me to record the song, considering it’s a relatively fast and punk number, so the urgence of the situation transferred well into my playing
