Hey all,
Well, this was supposed to be yesterday’s Sunday Morning video, but Toni and I got swept away creating and mixing this track. I started writing “Einstein, 1905” a few months ago—our patrons on Patreon might remember me posting a little snippet of the first few lines when they came to me in the middle of some sleepless night. A couple months passed, I added more lyrics here and there when they popped into my head, and then on this past Saturday night around 6pm, Toni and I sat down to start recording the vocals and guitars. Before we knew it, we had pulled a coffee-fueled all nighter and still wanted to keep adding stuff because the song was turning into something totally unexpected. I originally thought it would be an acoustic guitar and vocals track, but as you can see, we went in a slightly different direction.
The next day (Sunday) we spent adding auxiliary things like bongos and the OP1 you see me playing at the mixing desk—a really fun little synthesizer I picked up on a tip from a friend a while back. I recorded the vocals on the SR40V microphone that Earthworks sent me to try out and was blown away by the quality. I’m going to make an in-depth video on the mixing process for this one later this month, so more on that soon.
Anyway, we’re really excited about how this turned out and it’s actually going up on Spotify / Apple Music / Tidal later this week, so if you’re into streaming music, look for it over there and give it a spin. This was such a fun little 48 hour project and it inspires me to do more of these creation blitzes. I guess that’s what the Sunday Morning series is, in a way… just an excuse to dive head first into a song each week, and hopefully learn something along the way.
I hope you enjoy Einstein, 1905.
-R

Lyrics to Einstein, 1905
I’ve been travelling
at the speed of light
with all earth’s history
in the wake behind
Einstein, 1905
he had it right
time stopped long ago
on this ship of mine
How my mother cried
and my father mourned
the girl I used to be
when I climbed aboard
And oh how it’s clear to me now
the fare was more
than I should have ever paid
to leave those shores
But still I left
I climbed aboard
and I won’t be round no more
All this time
where does it go?
Back to you
I suppose
I’ve been dreaming in
all greens and blues
the afterimages
of the world I knew
But Shakespeare way back in the year
Of 1602
reminds me above all else
to myself be true
So I go
I remain
and I won’t come round again
All this space
what does it do
If it won’t bring me back to you?
You don’t need hyperdrives
to reach the stars
I’ve known galaxies
in a broken heart
And all my equations and lines
my graphs and charts
can’t solve the mystery
of that endless dark
