"Chasing Cars"

(original song by Snow Patrol)

Here is a song I felt would work slowed down incredibly. The original version goes for bombast but I thought it might be more effective as an elegy. The tone throughout is from a Casiotone which has had an equalizer and distortion applied to it.

In terms of instrument layering, this cover was essentially conceived the way it wound up. I knew I wanted the limited percussive track, the spare guitar and the drone backing the vocals, and once they were together the song sounded complete so I didn't bother adding anything. I was a bit surprised at the length once it was finished, but it seemed like a natural fit.
