Complain and Complain and Complain
I had a specific person in mind when I wrote this actually. I love the solo section. Just wish I hadn’t sung over it. I stopped doing that live.
I loved the recording with Dean. Pretty sure he suggested shaking the amp to rattle the reverb spring. That’s the noise you hear at the end.
I remember Ryan telling me once we recorded it and he could hear the lyrics clearly that he liked the song even more. That really made me feel good.
I recorded a demo version of this for Carter to Congress:
I don’t think I’ve ever played a Carter Admin song solo before. But I thought this would be cool. From the Liquid Lounge, 11 February 2010.
