BEHIND THE SONG:
This was another riff that originated in the the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep so reached for my guitar to pass the time. If you've read some of the other Behind the Song blogs, you'd be forgiven for thinking I suffer from relentless insomnia. Thankfully that is not the case and sleepless nights are far and few between. There were more than a couple around this time though.
The verse chord progression and melody were finalised that first night and recorded to ensure they weren't lost to the sleep that finally did follow. The chorus and bridge were added in the weeks that followed and once again it was time to think of lyrics and a theme for the song.
Spending All My Time was also recorded in the front parlor of the Cunningham House in Jefferson Country, Georgia.
