On This Special Day - Starting From Scratch - The Illestrated EP (2004)
I remember we wanted to make something for special occasions, like valentines day or sweetest day - that's how Shane came up with the idea for this song. From a recording/mixing prospective, this is one of the most well preserved songs on the album. We didn't have anything like compression or limiting or anything that I have available now. This was just a straight through raw recording thrown on top of a beat. So if we messed up, we re-recorded. Shane's voice doesn't usually get loud, but I remember I had to lower the gain on the mic because he actually did for this one. So instead of the mic levels peaking, the lowered volume might have contributed to why this held up so well. Outside of that, I remember Shane being eager to get this on a cd. He was excited to take it home and play it for his family.
Random tid bit: You can hear Shane snapping his fingers to the beat in the background throughout the song.
