Originally, this song was entitled Squelch<\/strong>, because it was just percussion, no melody, and everything was distorted and down-rezzed — that was the purpose of doing it, and I intended for it to be an album track for The Unfortold<\/a>.<\/strong> It ended up being combined with another song, purely melodic, that began as a piano chord progression. That song is one of those experiments where I started composing based on a title alone. ‘It’s a matter of degrees’ was honestly the answer I got when I asked a soon to be former girlfriend if she still loved me. Shitty answer, but a great song title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The piano part got combined with Squelch<\/strong> at some point, and I had a nice dirty house track with a jazzy overtone. It’s another track of mine that I like a lot, but still feel is unfinished. I wanted more piano on it, but Archie who played on several of my other tracks wasn’t available. There are also lyrics to this which I never recorded and later lost. There is a possibility that a version of this may appear on a forthcoming collection, I keep coming back to it whenever I sit down to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
