i have the touch

So, you probably know this is a Peter Gabriel song (which you can check out here if you’re interested), and I’ve always thought it was a complete banger.

Of course, there’s no way to improve on the original, but I’ve always kinda wanted to hear what it’d sound like with more/bigger guitars. Or maybe, in the middle of the dark, solitary winter we just concluded, I just wanted to play said guitars. Loudly.

I’ve also spent a fair chunk of the last year experimenting with various types of musical robots and extremely unnatural sounds (of which perhaps more later) , and a few of them made it into this track too.

Finally, of course, you might find that the lyrics resonate more for you now than ever before; at least they do for me. I also took the liberty of, um, adjusting some of them in order to maximize said resonance. Don’t tell Peter. 

Anyway, I hope you like the track, and once you’re done listening, i’d love to hear just what the hell is up with you! Drop a comment below and tell me what your life looks like. I need contact!
