Writing
I wrote this song with my friend Ivan about living in student halls.
We didn't necessarily have the same idea of fun as the people around us.
They didn't have as many 9 o'clock starts.
Technical/Recording
One of the guitar parts and the bass were recorded in my room in halls.
The drums were recorded in my parent's living room using a Yamaha AW16G hard disk recorder.
The rest were recorded in my room at my parents.
The pads were created with zynaddsubfx.

Writing
I wrote this song while talking to someone who I knew well and talked too so much that there was nothing to say.
Technical/Recording
The demo was recorded on the AW16G, solo on my dad's Les Paul, drums on the pads of a Boss DR-5.
