Soho ad nauseum

It's 1am, and I'm just now leaving the studio. We've retracked Soho I don't know how many times -- I lost count somewhere around fourteen or so. Nothing was working right; if Brett had a good solo, then I flubbed mine. Or if I nailed mine to the wall, Aref whiffed his. Or some other combination. Quite frustrating, if you must know.

I going to make the prediction that Soho will not survive in it's present incarnation for too much longer; the arrangement is very busy, and I think that some of the musicianship is getting lost in the mix. I know that Brett is playing a pretty darn complex drum line, and Aref and Shahin are really taking their guitars to task. I'm struggling to hold back and give everyone else room to breathe so they can play without tripping on me.

In any case, we decided to pull the plug on the evening and revisit the song tomorrow. Hopefully a night of sleep will allow us to come at the tune fresh.
