"We tried to capture the spirit of a band playing
together, making the song work and come alive,
without relying on tons of overdubs. They way the
tom petty & the heartbreakers or Neil young & crazy
horse would"
Drums bass and electric guitar, a singer and a song
ûold school- playing like a band .its music not
rocket science
Recorded @ love hz studios with his favourite rhythm
section Matt Fell (bass) Glenn Wilson (drums)
"IT'S THE MOST FUN I'VE HAD RECORDING"
below is a track by track guide to the songs on
"broken hearts like records"
It just ain't me Sam Hawksley
An exercise in escapism. I was sitting at home one
afternoon listening to Neil young thinking I'd like
to live at the beach and never have to work or pay
taxes again (don't we all). Then I started thinking
if I just took off would anyone notice and what
would happen to my mail. Maybe I'm not such a good
hippy after all
nothin like you Sam Hawksley/ Thom McHugh
Written in Nashville in June 06. I had the chords
and some of the melody for this one for a while.
Thom McHugh helped me nail it down. I'm no genius
like Einstein's' son but I know a good thing when I
find oneà. and there's nothing like you
Suzy went to Nashville Sam Hawksley/ Jedd Hughes
I had this one all but written except, I didn't have
a chorus. Played it to Jedd while I was staying on
his couch and he went oh the chorus is thisàIts a
tale of a young girl with stars in her eyes, but the
dream doesn't go to plan
Good love gone bad Sam Hawksley
Written in Kym Warners practice room downstairs at
Jedd's. A list of all the bad things that happen
when a good love goes bad. Good fun to record, what
you hear is the first time we played it through
I'm sorry now Sam Hawksley
I started writing this in an airport in Cincinnati,
and then finished it in a hotel room in austiontown
Ohio. I guess the theme of this is that love isn't
like being in a band. A band as a metaphor for love
Love lost Sam Hawksley
Sometimes you never really see the person you're
with. Then when it all unravels you look back and
ask how did we get here and what was I thinking.
This song gave me the title for the album." broken
hearts like records shattered on the ground"
Twistin in the wind Sam hawksley/ Michael Heany
A riff I had that inspired fine work of fiction
written by mr Heany. A story about ruby and Johnny
and how, just like that, their perfect world turned
out perfectly wrong.
The run around Sam Hawksley/ mike shimshack
Sometimes you just want to get it straight not get
the run around.
Written in NYC Sept 2005. A groove that fell out of
one of Ben Butler's acoustic guitars one morning
finished off with Mike Shimshack that afternoon
Heaven only knows Sam Hawksley /Thom McHugh
One of life's sweetest mysteries is what the hell
you see in me
A rolling rocker in G
Tear it all down Sam Hawksley
If the world today were a building then they'd
condemn it and tear it down and build it again.
Can't we just do it?
My unanswered prayer Sam Hawksley /Thom McHugh
The third song on the album written with Thom
McHugh. A bluesy moody thing as apposed to a moody
bluesy thing. A prayer for love àunanswered.
