"Earn It" ~ Mauger and Conroy

Today I uploaded the another MP3 under the Mauger and Conroy songwriting collaboration. "Earn It" was produced from our second song writing session. This time I came to the table with an interesting chord progression and Brian was able to find lyrics to match. This song was recorded in my living room on a beastly hot day in July. This time I chose to play through my electric guitar, seeing how the acoustics's tone didn't translate well into the recording. I played a clean tone on semi-hollow, little bit of spring reverb, out through the tube amp, into the mic, and then into a laptop. Brian recorded his voice at a later date. Like "Sigh Alone," this song was was composed, revised, rehearsed, and recorded under two hours. Since then, we have tweaked the chord progression in the bridge and several lyrics so the song will flow better.
