With drums, bass, keyboards, and found audio, this is a very different track for AYoS, more typical of my &#8216;band&#8217; work with one blue nine. It does <span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">not<\/span><\/span> represent a new change in direction for AYoS, although I have started sneaking a few more elements into the simple acoustic versions I&#8217;ve been recording daily. Honest to gosh&#8230; I just lost track of the time and wasn&#8217;t able to record a new acoustic track. (Yeah, yeah. It shouldn&#8217;t take more than 5 or 6 minutes, I realize. But it does.) And <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">then<\/span> my cable net connection completely disappeared in the middle of uploading <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">this <\/span>track&#8230; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Anyhow,<\/span> it&#8217;s done. I didn&#8217;t add it to the now <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">very<\/span> long playlist of AYoS Radio, since I thought the sudden shift to a full band might be jarring in that context.
