I met Aaron Johnson for the first time. He was mixing a song at Swing House. We walked over there to meet up with him so we could talk about the upcoming session. From the beginning, Aaron and I got along great. The thing I initially liked the most about Aaron was his confidence. But it’s not the type of confidence that causes him to tell you how great he is… It’s the type of quiet confidence that you can simply feel. From that point forward, I knew the session was going to have a good vibe to it. Over dinner, we continued talking about the songs. Of the three songs, there was one song in particular that Aaron thought still needed to a change. In the demo of “Come Home Soon”, there were two lines in the chorus that Aaron thought would work better as a pre-chorus. He talked with me about changing the chord progression, but keeping the same melody… I agreed with him that it could make the song better, so we said we would work it out the next day at the session. Back to the Roosevelt, which meant Tony and Taylor were back at the pool… I thought I heard Marilyn’s ghost moving around in our room while I was trying to sleep off the swine flu, but it turned out to be an earthquake… No big deal, just an earthquake!!
