"Promises In The Dark" (#38/1981) | One of Pat and Neil's favorite tracks from the Precious Time sessions was "Promises In The Dark," a song they composed together based on their own relationship. Pat said, "I wrote the beginning of this song on a flight to New York. There was a hum in the cabin that inspired the melody. When Neil and I got back to L.A., I had almost all the lyrics written but I was embarrassed to show them to him because they were so personal. When we got home, he was writing in the music room in our house in Tarzana. I sheepishly slipped them under the door and took off. When I got back, he had the chorus, bridge and most of the verse changes finished." Neil added, "By-the-way; that was me counting-off everybody to come back in after the vocal break. The track was recorded basically live in the studio, so I kept it in the mix as it happened." |
