-The actual mixing and mastering process took several more weekends past this event
-They prepped for this song over the course of several weekends prior to meeting up.

Lyrics
Even Fail
by Ed Bejzak and David Husted
V1
Wave sharpens
As it readies to pound
Under ocean canopy
Once again smooth
A tired refrain
Ch
You can jump
I'll be there
I will be your safety net
You can jump
Even fail
PreVs
V2
Crackle of fire and a
drizzle of rain
cold and distant thunder
Now silence
Again and again and again
Ch2
You can jump
I'll be there
I will be your safety net
You can jump
Even fail
V3
Falling, floating
Air rushes past
Sensation unfamiliar
All stop
Never and ever again
Ch2
You can jump
I'll be there
I will be your safety net
You can jump
Even fail

-Chord ideas germinated out of passed around Ableton Live DAW share files that came to be known as ZipLine1 through 6 rumored to be housed in a feathery cloud. All offline music collaboration notes were captured in a super-secret virtual manuscript journal called The Orange Notebook. This piece of musical history has been carefully preserved and archived in a vault deep within the Himalayan Mountains at an altitude of approximately 25,000 feet.
-The bass line introductory phrase became the backbone around which the song developed.
-The song does not have a traditional 4 to the floor timing but more of a waltzing meter. This did factor into the final reference track down-select process.
-Programmed kit drums were used, however, Ed played a bit of Djembe rhythms in the verse. See if you can find them…fairly subtle.
-It was rumored that one of the music production team name ideas was:
Plastic Plant Recordings
-One of Ed and Dave's first musical masterpieces was created in the late 80's on a cassette tape 4 track player in a dusty basement in which a green plastic plant was used to precariously hold the microphone. It is believed this may have improved the vocal sound quality.
-A few good craft beers may have influenced some of the creative decisions during Even Fail's song development process.
-There was a second reference song by The Blue Nile called "Stay" at the ready in case we stretched for a second song. We did not.
-Ed is rumored to be conjuring up a music video to be released on a TBD date but this may only be a rumor.
-We nicknamed the final “to be released” version of our song the "vault version" and its actual wav file name is EvanFailTreeHouse.wav. This name may or may not have been informed by the picture below.
-All for now….peace out my friends and Thanks Again for sharing a moment with me. The song was a blast to make and if you listen to Ed in the bridge section of the song you may get a taste of the joy captured in the moment of creation….."fa la la la la"
