Nobody Home (Cover/mic test/fucking around)

Drewfustehfox

So I slapped this together in about an hour and a half in-between taking my roommates ear off about Pink Floyd and having to rush to down town seattle to pick up my mate. What I really sat down to do was record a Beatles song as a test for the NADY PCM 200 that I picked up years ago and hadn't been able to use until now because my past recording unit had no preamps in the XLR inputs.

I am not using a pop filter.
I am only pulling from one track recorded on one mic.
I am only using garage band for editing
I am very tired.
I consider this to be a rough recording

Anyway, I love this song. I consider The Wall to be one of my favorite movies (having never been able to afford to see it live) and this is one of my favorite tracks from it. I am not sure really what else I can say about this track that wont be too personal and tmi and that isnt already obvious so there you have it.

I think the NADY PCM sounds wonderful by the way :)

Lyrics:

I've got a little black book with my poems in
I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hand blues.
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've got amazing powers of observation
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home
I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And I've got the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favourite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
I've got wild staring eyes
I've got a strong urge to fly
But I've got nowhere to fly to
Ooooh Babe when I pick up the phone
There's still nobody home
I've got a pair of Gohills boots
And I've got fading roots.
