 Here's another one of those goofy rock and roll songs. They're so much fun- they don't have to mean anything, and I get the chance to work words like gabardine into the lyrics. It's a thing. The song is Diamonds. I have the feeling I started this one from a couple of lines jotted down at work, back when I was making ice cream for my dad. Once I got good at setting up the boxes and the ingredients I had about ten minutes between batches for writing, and with the noise of the machinery drowning out any distractions it was a great place for it. And after a dozen years or so, the meat and bones of this song got some special sauce added in the basement studio on Maple Ave- the guitar shredding that they always needed. Thanks, Ben!
