Singled Out: Scott Sorry's Broken Hearts and 45s
.
Scott Sorry (Amen, The Wildhearts/ Brides of Destruction) tells us about his new single "Broken Hearts and 45s" which comes from his solo album "When We Were Kings". Here is the story: So, I had this riff in my head for a couple years. I don't remember how I came across it, but I'd find myself playing just about every time I picked up a guitar. I loved the riff but I really had no idea what to do with it. Tried playing a bunch of different ways until I could find something that would inspire the rest of whatever that song was supposed to be. Super fast, to slow and almost Shoegaze-ish, to folky..nothing really worked. So I just kept putting it on the back burner. Then, during one of the first writing sessions for "When We Were Kings", it clicked. I plugged in my guitar and turned on my amp. To try to get my tone and volume right for rehearsal I just started wailing on these two notes. It was just a spur of the moment riff, but I really liked it. I immediately started getting a vocal melody and started humming along to myself while the other guys were staring at me like "Scotty..what the hell are you doing?".. As the vocal melody progressed in my head I heard where the chord change needed to be and where it needed to go. I slid down the neck and landed right into that riff that had been stuck in my head for years. I laughed and just shouted "I've got it! This is what we are working on today!". Within a couple hours we had a pretty impressive skeleton for "Broken Hearts and 45's". Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself right here!
