We've been back in recording mode again ... almost at the 11th hour of mixing, it became clear that My Life My Rules simply wasn't working. And after much soul searching, we realised we weren't prepared to let it go through as a filler, when it had potential to be such a great song. So we tried some different ideas and ended up with markedly different version ... and then it was time to blow the dust off the mics again and record the revised version.
It really has made a difference. My Life My Rules was the first Skeleton Crew song, and has probably suffered from being played to death, so its nice that the rewrite has given it a lot more energy and enthusiasm, which is much more in keeping with the rest of the tracks. It also marks our first recording at our new home, the Barnstone Country Club.
