Moving on
Last night we were late up, so it was a bit tough to get back to work early in the morning. The red wine did it’s “thing” you know…
Max came to the studio to work with us some songs and it was nice to have him around.

It’s always great when somebody else comes in and helps us to refresh ourselves. That way we don’t get bored.
It was so funny when I met him in the morning. After I gave him a hug, I told him “oh my God, Max you are even taller with the shoes on”. But he was NOT wearing any shoes! In a minute I realized that he was like “WHAT? Maybe I can come down from the mattress.”
Well, Max knows me well already… I haven’t just seen him in a long time…
We are working very hard to get the songs in a shape where everybody feels good and comfortable. Mike did again amazing job today. He recorded few more songs and we are well in schedule.
Among those songs was “In For A Kill” that I have performed last year a couple of times with an orchestra. Now it turned to be really cool with the drums and the reference guitars from Alex. Is already very promising.
It was a surprise for everybody in the studio the cover song recorded today. We managed to refresh a great song from the 80’s. Is a bit sad that songs like this one nobody writes any more.
According to Mike; he played today the longest drum fill he had recorded in nearly 100 albums!!
We had fun with his performances and sometimes it felt that he did more than what he expected himself to do! So it made him very happy.
It was a tough day for all of us, but very rewarding.

With love, Tarja

Posted on: February 8, 2010 10:06 pmOh, Enkeli, I am so happy now!
I was afraid… I thought that In For A Kill could not get into What Lies Beneath, but I’m certainly happy it did…
I never thought I could get more anxious for WLB than yesterday, but yes, Enkeli, I am like 10 times more anxious. Hope some orchestra keep in this song, that instrumental was just perfect.
With all my love

Thanks again for keeping us informed regularly! Makes me very happy to hear from you how the recording works.
Must have been long time since you stood directedly near him, hm? 
)
Respect to Mike for his job!
So then Max did not wear any shoes?!?
So the cover song is from the 80s. O.K: NOW I am even more curious for it. The 80s brought out many interesting songs!!
Ah, I already heard “IFAK” (even that it was forbidden, I know). It sounded very cool! I am curious how it will sound with the band-arrangement.
So good luck again!!! And have a great day (maybe less wine today
Yours, Astrid
