"Lucifer"

Backdated, archival post

---&---


After mentioning it a few days ago, I kept thinking about "Lucifer."  Last night I figured out the guitar parts for one section (I'm pretty sure it's doubled with auto-harp).  I might have the rhythm wrong in the second half though.  I figured out an-other part too, but I'm not sure what instrument it's actually played on.  I used electric piano, but the APP website lists only "synths," so…?

In looking that up, I've discovered that the rhythm in that part spells out EVE - the name of the album - in Morse code.  I'd been suspicious of something like that.

As a basis for my recording I used the early rough mix that's a bonus track on the CD re-issue, so there might be slight differences between this and the final version.
