about

The badass band of brothers that be knownst as BNR is pickled proud to bestow upon the universe this here particular track we call "took".

We hope you dig it. And we hope you play it REALLY, REALLY LOUD.

We thank you, thank you and thank you SO MUCH for your support.



Reading on? Well!

This was the first time we've ever created a track in this manner. And it's likely a formula we'll repeat. Hopefully many, many times.

N wrote the music. BNR got together and recorded the song at Concussion Studios in Milwaukie - switching instruments at times, as usual. N then recorded a "scratch track" of vocals to go with the music at The Cave studios in Hood River. Pretty much just making sounds with emphasis to try and convey what he thought the song should sound like. R listened to the scratch track and came up with lyrics that would fit to it - for the most part. N recorded the vocal track at The Cave. Some lyrics were changed, there was a good back-and-forth about the vocals, N edited the sum of all parts together at The Cave and BAM! We had a song. And we're all super pleased with it. For those who care even more:

VOX = N
Rhythm GTR = N
Lead GTR = R
Bass = B (before break)
Bass = R (after break)
Drums = R (before break)
Drums = B (after break)

lyrics

There was a time - I knew you well
You'd drown yourself, I'd run away, yeah
There was a mind you used to have
The kind that made me want to stay, yeah

Oh yeah you took me
Took me on the ride of my life
There was a time I enjoyed it
Oh how I'd come to hate you!


I took another on the side
Another light to be the fire
One look I saw my soul in there
That's something I could never shake

I'd learn my lesson finally
Sad something to guide, guide my life
Never again cross the line
No nothing will change my mind!
