Highlander Motel (Rebraided)

from Rebraid by jeremy r.r.

about

Highlander Motel was a motel outside of Pontiac, Michigan. i’m not sure if it still exists. this song is about regret and shame, and the way that shame can create crevasses in relationships.
this track started with the sample of the acoustic guitar track and (i think it was) an electric piano patch from a Roland MC-303 from the “Braids” sessions.
the added instruments are a B3 emulator from Arturia, an electric piano emulator from Spitfire Audio as the bass, an electric drum kit, a pair of guitar lines, and a slightly edited software synth patch that i had originally used for the “Staring at a Ruin” sessions. the vocals were also sampled from the Braids sessions.

lyrics

the highlander motel has it’s lights on now
where i sold myself for $50 and cable tv
jane says she’s on a big soul kick now
and i can almost see her dancing.

three miles to the exit
highway 60 just let me lay down
nicole looks at me just like the missouri
and she says i don’t make enough for a kid

everything’s worth a whole lot more
when you’ve got the gas but the car won’t go
but i was lonely there and it’s cold now
why don’t you wait ’til spring to decide?
