This World (Already Over) features Morricone-isms abound. While sporting a heavy groove courtesy of Brian and Sam, it’s Lincoln Barr (electric guitar) and Patrick Porter’s (pedal steel) contributions that push this song into something cinematic akin to a Sergio Leone Western (plus a bridge that feels a little Calexico with some Jeff Buckley-inspired vocalizing).
There were a few lyric rewrites after my Future Warnings/Field Recordings demo, especially in the chorus, which changed from “this world is already over” to “this world was already over”; how else would a song about losing someone before the end of the world make sense?
Maybe it was just my OCD kicking in…
