Marika Hackman - Next Year (Commentary) lyrics

Artist: Marika Hackman

album: We Slept at Last (Track by Track)


So, number 11 is "Next Year", which um, I wrote the guitar part first, um, and it's quite, it's in quite an unusual time signature and there's a lot of movement in that guitar part
Um, so it was quite a challenge, enjoyable challenge, but challenge nonetheless, to get that syncopated vocal melody to sit over the top and work
Um, it's kind of about the movement of time, and not feeling ready, kind of being thrown into it
Wanting to stay kind of wrapped up in a womb-like state
Um, and we actually struggled a bit in the studio with it
I'd been playing it with my band a bit whilst we were on the road
And there was a great drum part that George came up with and we wanted to try and capture that
But actually when we took it into studio it just - it kind of sounded too polished
So we just stripped it back and started again and Charlie had some congas and it calmed it down a bit
Um, so it's always - it's always kind of fun and a little bit challenging when you come across something like that
But I think it's all part of the journey
