To go back in time and re-record these songs was a whole lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be
Maybe I took it for granted.
to get these songs the way I wanted them I
strictly by the originals as dated as they were
The sound and all that the one thing that I lived on was bringing them up to date
And yet keeping as much of the feel as much of the emotion and getting the point across
as well as I did on the originals and as time has evolved and we've we've
Done and redone and redone and redone these songs on stage
Maybe I took it for granted.

I don't know but
_ _ _ to get these songs the way I wanted them I
_ Had to go strictly by the originals as dated as they were
The sound and all that the one thing that I lived on was bringing them up to date
And yet keeping as much of the feel as much of the emotion and getting the point across _

They've changed somewhat and you don't realize it as you're doing it
But they do they change a lot [G] and so when I went back in the studio to re-record them
I had to lay the originals down right there [B] where I could refer back to them and and [Gb] and I mean every verse because
Some of the phrasing had changed the tempos had definitely changed and so we had to adapt everything back to its original state
[E] _ and and you might say
Try to capture the original feel all over again _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ Well in order to capture this feeling everything [C] Dirk
Got copies of each and every one of the songs that we were set in to record and he put them on the computer and
_ [Eb] and every time there was a question or something or if I was rolling, you know the song and and
_ _ And something didn't feel [Am] right or he didn't think it sounded right or something like that.
We would stop
Recording right then and go back
To [G] the original and and literally play it and and I would have to listen at it and study it and
A lot of people may not realize it, but it's extremely [A] hard
To capture the feel that you had 20 years ago
_ [G] Because I live on phrasing.
I love phrasing to me.
That's what makes a [N] song a song
Even if it's a great song you can ruin it if it's not
_ Phrased right and to capture the original phrasing on these songs was extremely difficult
I needless to say I had to work at it quite quite hard _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ as far as recording them
I think I think each and every one of them was a surprise in the fact that [E] I had I had forgotten maybe
How simple it was for me back then and how different it would be now _ _ _
Because
_ _ It's impossible to capture [Ab] the feeling that you had back then [E] I mean on every song and and
And I mean to be perfectly frank a lot of these songs that was back when I drank
You know and then I was drinking when I recorded a lot of these songs and and who knows who knows why I?
Would sing them the way I would but I still
Had to go back and [Abm]
recapture this without drinking because I don't drink anymore, but _
But it was [Gm] it was it was really it was really hard and [Gb] to be honest some of the feeling on these songs
You'll never you'll never be able to to recapture exactly and that's in my mind.
Hopefully
_ The fans and the people that buy you know the album won't notice the difference
_ But that's exactly why I still record
_ As they say old school, I mean [Eb] when I'm recording I go in I [E] want to record with the band
I want to lay down the tracks as close as I can when they're recording because there's a certain amount of inspiration there as
Did I do on this project right here each and every one of these songs?
I went in there and sang these tracks right as they were being laid down
Even though I had to go [G] back in and listen to the originals and [Eb] and and re-sang some of it and re-sang some of it
I still wanted to capture that emotion and that feel that comes from the [E] live
