Continue [2011] by Nixon Archives published on 2020-04-21T09:02:58Z Garlands "Continue" (Demo version) Recorded 2011. Produced by Garlands + Roger. Mixed by Woodie Taylor Since Garlands went from a duo with me and Christin to a full band doing gigs (without me) there was a period where I was still involved with the recording and production. In 2011 we did our first 7" on UK label Big Pink Cake called "You Never Notice Me". The b-side was this shoegazey pop track that me and Christin recorded this demo version of along with parts of the band. Our home recordings was mixed by Woodie Taylor in London. Me and Woodie met when I toured with Free Loan Investments and he played drums for Comet Gain. He was also the drummer for Morrissey on Vauxhall and I. Me and Christin decided to ask him for the mixing bit because he had recently been producing the band Veronica Falls, which we liked. Unfortunately the band opinion on this version was kind of split so we decided not to use it, and instead go for a new version that later got on the 7". But I kind of like this rough, blurry version of the song, so at least I can post it here. Actually it's one of my fav Garlands tunes too. The music written in like 30 mins by me and Christin, the lyrics written by me later on (as I remember it, at least) CONTINUE W&M: Roger Gunnarsson & Christin Wolderth I never promised you to stay up late I never promised you to wait but I do know that I don't say that You can't play the lover's part before you shoot that arrow in my heart You never needed someone else my dear You never needed to be near but I do sometimes and I felt that I suddenly just needed more than standing waiting there outside your door I walk on and continue I wear my hardened heart I didn't want to grow apart I need that little corner of your heart I didn't want to grow apart I need that little corner of your heart Genre Indie
