Background to our Songs: Tuesday in May
Written by Jimmy
Tuesday in May by AbubillaMusic
Drafted in Spain during the 2010 Summer Spanish Jam, but rewritten in the Autumn. Girl meets boy and likes him.Written in the sunshine – idea was simply what happens when you meet the person that you’re going to be with the rest of your life. Is it just a normal day, or the first day of something big? Jimmy had the tune for the Chorus, but then sat with Andy on the first day of Jam to sort it out (same day we wrote TWIRL and 500 Letters). Andy did guide track.
We then sat on it for awhile. In September, Andy re-wrote his guitar part. We kept wanting to make it a bit off tempo, given the line ‘a beat that I can’t really keep.’ We then asked Mike to write all the percussion parts. Given Lara’s role as lead singer in her band, we thought it would be good to have her to lead vox, talking about her band during a break. Andy provides backing vocals.
