It’s Friday and time to post another song from Jackson Road’s new album ‘Take Flight’ !! (If you’re viewing this in your email browser, click HERE to listen to the song)
The fourth track on the album is called ‘Ascending’, and was written and recorded in April 2009. It’s funny how natural this song came. Ted was messing with a chord pattern and Nate immediately came up with the opening lyrics and melody over the top of it. It was recorded as an idea for reference and shown to Christian. He came up with a beat on hearing it the first time, and within that rehearsal the entire song was arranged. In the studio it was recorded about seven times back to back, but nothing beat the energy of the very first take that was done that day.
Enjoy, and feel free to leave any comments below.
Here are the first three songs from Jackson Road’s new album ‘Take Flight’.
A recurring theme in ‘Take Flight’ is the Element of AIR, in it’s many forms. ’Airliner’ kicks off the album with this theme in mind. This song is actually the first song that Jackson Road wrote a couple of years ago. However, it has evolved over time and playing it live at shows into what it sounds like in this studio recording. The drone in the beginning and the end of the song are Ted’s interpretation of the engines of an Airliner.
‘Californian’ is an upbeat idea Nate had kicking around since Jackson Road had toured last summer (2008) down the coast of California. It’s a song about roots and identity here in the state of California.
‘Gonna Win You’ speaks for itself, so just enjoy listening !
