A song that I really like and listen to a lot is the Johnny Cash version of I Hung My Head. I was talking with songwriter Jimmy Messer about it, how I would like to write a song that was a little Johnny Cash-like and he played me some chords and a verse melody he had been tinkering with. After coming up with the chorus and pre-chorus together we threw some vocals down. I had to go to Serj’s place for a drink so I played him the demo when I got there. I was musing with him about how I’d like a male voice in the song and he offered to put down some ideas. When it came to doing the final recording Serj was sweet enough to take time out of his busy schedule and make a trip into Hollywood to record his vocal parts. After a fun session, Serj, Eric (the engineer on the album) and I had a great dinner then strolled up Cahuenga to catch some bands at the Hotel Café.
