I Do Not Own This Song, I Just Love It.
I am a HUGE Living Colour fan and recently got to meet them at a pre-show interview (special thanks/shout out to Gary Thorn and Shockwave Magazine, and especially to the band's tour manager Tim) in Annapolis, MD at RamsHead OnStage (hands down, my favorite venue in MD). They are just as imaginative and humble as their collectively stunning body of work portrays, btw.
This song is one of theirs I've always wanted to learn, but been too frightened to try as it is such a great example of the 4 powerhouse voices of a fantastic band working together. In this recording, I use my Godin in concert with the Roland VG99 (a Vernon Reid specialty) to get a Living Colour-ish vibe.
"Nothingness" is a song by Living Colour and the third single off their third studio album, Stain. The ballad reached #17 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1993. This particularly moody track serves as a break from the more upbeat songs on the album. It opens with crickets chirping and a synthesizer-like guitar progression. A prominent bass rhythm carries the song and provides flashy funk-style fills. Lyrically, "Nothingness" delves into bleak themes of isolation and loneliness. Corey Glover's powerful voice is demonstrated toward the song's end as he wails its final chorus. The double-track effect of Glover's vocals were accomplished by having Glover sing directly into an outdoor satellite dish (with the microphone placed in the feedhorn location of the dish), hence the satellite-themed artwork of the single.
