MAY 20TH, THURSDAY

dear diary,
sorry for neglecting you the past days. I have been so busy with the new album...
Last night, around 3am, I got one new song finished! Burning the midnight oil...And as you can imagine I am pretty tired now, after short sleep and a long studio day.
I sang "Shamandalie" today, which maybe has the less backing vocals ever in our history, only few, maybe 16 voices layered only on the last chorus, but that´s it. I just found the song too beautiful to ruin the "sensitive feeling" with too many "Tony´s". :)
On the contrary there´s this one song, that I have been singing for four days, with maybe around hundred tracks used for vocals alone...and those are only mine, FC Sonata will be layered on top of that, so this is scary...
BUT IT SOUNDS GREAT!!

Tomorrow we´ll have a visitor in the studio. If you remember "the Voice" from "silence" album... ;)
"you have to finish what you started..."

yeap, gotta start thinking lines for the man. Why do I always leave everything for the last night???

...ja lasinen värssykirja avattakoon.
~Tony
