'Spread Me Out' is a bit different to your other stuff I hear you saying.....
Well - yep, it is. Its a product of a little musical collaboartion with the delightful dub kult (in my top friends). I arrived at his house after only having 3 hours sleep because me and my lovely housemate have a shameless addiction to shit head. Only partially at this stage wired on caffeine, Neilon played a looped beat with a male vocal line. I instantly loved it and shamefully attempted to sing something awful over it. Then he asked me what I thought the song was trying to communicate and from this point it all slipped into place. Once we had the ambiguous line 'spray me out' which later was changed to 'spread me out' both of which sound slightly rude-ha, we started to arrange the song.
Id say its a littleunfinished - but I absolutely love it, for the harmonies, for it being different, for the 3 hours sleep, for the feeling of absolute euphoria when making it, both with a little and a lot of caffeine, for the events that unfolded once I got back to Surrey and encapsulates my eventful, beautiful Christmas period. I am a happy Lesley bunny hopping into 2009 with my mind clear, my heart full of lots of love and pockets full of inspiration.
Heres to a fruitful new musical journey and a flipping awesome 2009!
