Why Did They

This is the song where Corky gets real sad because Verdell and Mogie are dead. I mean, they're both in Heaven with him, but he wanted them alive so they could get the message to his mom that he's alright. I like how this one turned out. 

Here's last week's song, when you turn it around backwards.

 I wanted to put this one on, as well. See, this is "Why Did They" turned around backwards using Audacity (a sound editing program). I wanted to include it because it's extra-special magical sounding. The one I recorded last week didn't have as much syncopation as this one.

For anyone new to this blog, the album I'm discussing is based on the movie, Skins. (Spoiler Alert)... It follows this character, Corky Red Tail, into the afterlife cuz he gets murdered in the beginning of the movie. Then he's joined by Mogie and Verdell, who both die of alcoholism in one way or another. The three of them work together to try to get a message to Corky's mom that he's okay in the afterlife. The most likeliest candidate to do that is Rudy, Mogie's brother, because all three of them knew Rudy when they were alive, so they're all connected to him in one way or another.
