Masochist

about

Masochist – I love this song so much. This is another poem that I pulled from Tree’s poetry book. We kept the lyrics almost, if not all, intact from his original poem. I remember that he also had a black and white cut out of a woman’s eyes in the top corner of the page. As soon as I read it, I was so impressed and I knew it would be a great song. I pulled out the acoustic guitar and we wrote the song together relatively quickly. At this point, we had written “The Rhythm is a Sadist”, which we both were immediately proud of and though was a “hit”. Then, when we wrote this song, I knew that him and I could do many different things musically and that our individual skills led us to be a very strong writing team. I also remember being so nervous when recording this song. At that point, I had not recorded the acoustic guitar in that style before and did not play to a click track. I remember Tree and Issa encouraging me as I made several mistakes trying to get a complete take. When I finally finished, I wasn’t terribly pleased with the way I played, but they were very kind and made me feel as if I did a good job. So as you can see, I have many great memories associated with this song and it means a lot to me.
