Song Information:

This is a tune I wrote about moving to Nashville from Florida. We'll be moving from a 3 year house to a 60 year old farm house. Some of our friends can not understand why we would want to do such a thing. It's a litttle thing called addition by subtraction. Sometimes you have give up a little to get what you really want.

From the Techy end of things... The steel guitar track is comprised of chopped up bits of loops from Jam Pack 3. The Bass is still a software instrument at this point, I'll eventually play it for real. It's also comprised of modified loops. The Banjo track at the end is also a modified loop from JamPack 3. The Mandolin in the break is also a loop from GarageBand. The drums are also modified loops. Everything else was played. A few folks have asked me what I mean by modified loops. Well, if it's a midi based loop I just move the notes to where I need them to be. I just need to find a pattern I like and then I just move the notes to fit the chord progression. If it's an audio based loop like the steel guitar, then it get's a bit more messy. But mostly I just take the bits of the loop that fit and discard the rest. Then I just take the good bits and piece them together until it works.

Song Lyrics:

Its really not what youd expect
Quite a bit older than the place we left
But you know what they say about a house this old
Its seen about everything
Off Murfreesboro Rd

It can weather the storms
No matter how hard they blow
Its seen every kind of rain, ice and snow
Its nothing special as far as I know
Its just a house off Murfreesboro Rd

Take Tennessee 231
Just past the Cedars of Lebanon
A few miles down there on the right
The little white frame
With the bug yellow front porch light

It can weather the storms
No matter how hard they blow
Its seen every kind of rain, ice and snow
Its nothing special as far as I know
Its just a house off Murfreesboro Rd

I know sometime its hard to explain
But there comes a time when
Youve got to subtract to gain

It can weather the storms
No matter how hard they blow
Its seen every kind of rain, ice and snow
Its nothing special as far as I know
Its just a house off Murfreesboro Rd
