Song #2: She Comes in Waves

She Comes in Waves features a 6/8 time signature, reminiscent of old-school swing, yet has a strong bluesy vibe. The two guitars were inspired by the Rolling Stones with their dual rhythm/lead guitars that call, respond, and play off of each other. The guitars in this track are not taking a lead, but not sitting as rhythm instruments either, but something in between. The chorus features an acoustic guitar, and the drums disappear completely. I hoped to create a chorus that felt dynamically different from the verse and gave the listener a brief time to feel relaxed before a post-chorus breakdown featuring a small guitar solo accompanied by trombone. She Comes in Waves feels old and gritty, yet somehow new and contemporary.
