I went ahead and made instrumental versions of all the tunes on Look Back On This And Laugh so I'll keep posting them here over the next few weeks. Today's selection is "You Promised."

This is probably one of my favorite song arrangements. The feedback-like sounds that open the track are actually done with an ebow I borrowed from Patrick (of Explone). For this new album mix, I brought the guitars up front, added a touch of reverb to the drum track, and threw in a shaker to offset the hi-hat a bit.
Here's the full mix with vocals. Someday soon I'll have to post an acoustic version.
