I don't kno...I love the guitar mistake at 1:20. I don't know if that particular backing track is the one that ended up in the final version of the song, but if it is then I've not noticed those momentarily wayward guitars all this time. Sometimes you need to get rid of some angelic voices to find hidden surprises in a song.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694593832483511316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-54819376458383787792012-02-09T19:00:25.737-05:002012-02-09T19:00:25.737-05:00What an arrangement.
