Lord I Tried

Lord I Tried by David Moore and the Oars

So this is the last of the songs from the album to go up.
Its a song that was completely over loaded with instruments, and then was stripped back to its simplicity thanks to Sue wanting to keep the song as close to its original state.
It was first laid down as a demo just piano and vocal so thats how we began for the first part of the track and gradually adding the pieces.

Its pretty vulnerable in lyrics and I personally liked the way the song takes you on a journey.

Hope you enjoy...

Summer

Summer by David Moore and the Oars

Hey all
So, after a 15 hour session in the studio at London Bridge with Sue and Laurence i think we are all exhausted.
It seems we are pretty much done for now until the rest of the album comes to be mastered, but the tracks are sounding lovely, with a new one 'lord I tried' coming in about a weeks time so make sure you check it out.

Summer is a fairly obvious and instant track and always has been, and i never like to give away to much about my songs, but this one definately came from that possitive place we all find draws us in to London. Funny how it feels west coast in a way, maybe that trip to California rubbed off on me. I hope you enjoy it to.

All Of My Days

All Of My Days by David Moore and the Oars

Hey all
Check out this track, it was recorded in the dead of night in Sweden in the cold and snow in January, with all of us drinking too much rum, and at the end of an intense week recording and just verging on having to drive Cristiano to the airport.
Cristiano (my Italian gypsy friend on drums) hushed us all quiet and told us to imagine ourselves at a funeral procession walking down a dark street with each of us carrying the corners of the coffin...

With the room silent the song began to hum on the harmonium and we just laid the track down in one take and in the end we all got up, packed up and took Cristiano to the airport to say goodbye after our week of magic recording the album together.
That was the last time i saw him, and this memory makes me miss him alot, he's touring with a circus somewhere in Europe now, hope we get to play together again sometime mate.
