New York City Control Vintage Back

It's no longer necessary to slave over the vocals. I don't sing the lyrics until I write them, and singing is the very last thing I do. I record the entire track, and then I worry about lyrics and vocals. The music will suggest where the words are going to a certain extent.

Music Words Singing Worry Will Over

When you come to a place like Kauai, you don't go for a high tech world.

World You Place Go High Come
