Quiet Hour
This was an early attempt at a more poetic lyric. I've always been a very practical lyricist and don’t usually write a lot of abstract content. This song was an attempt to break that pattern, although it is really not that abstract. It's just a love song to God.
Production note: The high tinkly sound throughout the song was achieved by tapping a pencil on the side of a glass ash tray that was in the studio. I was just playing with it and liked the sound. It happened to be in key, so I recorded it. In the "hoo-la-la-la-la" part, I used a real conch shell which I purchased and actually learned to blow myself. It gave it that "Hawaii" sound.
