‘Jackson’ from Bee and Flower’s forthcoming album Suspension
‘Jackson’ was initially a quiet little ditty, written on my 1940’s acoustic Spanish guitar, combined with melody played on a 6 euro thrift store Casio and a simple vocal humming the melody line.
Once I got to Berlin and met with Rod, Joni, Thomas, and Sibylle to go through a batch of new songs, we ditched my original guitar part and Joni wrote that fierce, strangled line that totally transformed the whole song.
