my bloody valentine Lyrics

Tiptoe down
To the holy places
Where you going now
Don't turn around

Little girls
In their party dresses
Didn't like
Anything there

Pretty boys
With their sunshine faces
Carrying their
Heads down

Tiptoe down
To the lonely places
Where you going now
Don't turn around

"It's definitely one of the few stereo guitar tracks. There's no effect on that one, it's basically just the straight guitar sound. It sounds unusual because it was a Strat neck and a Jaguar body with EMG pickups in it. It was just a weird monstrous thing. It had a slightly harder, more midrange-y than a Jaguar/Jazzmaster. It's a lot more high frequency, strange sound. We used partly the sound of the guitar plugged straight into the desk and mixed in slightly and that's got something going on in the high end.

It's a lot more high frequency, strange sound. We used partly the sound of the guitar plugged straight into the desk and mixed in slightly and that's got something going on in the high end. But when we mixed it, what gives it a lot of its sound is that it's so heavily compressed with the drums that it sounds like a train. In fact, that was the sound we were trying to get at, like it sounds like you're on a train or something. There's loads of me just playing these sort of "doo-do-loodle-do" bits on the guitar and then we kept them all. It's sort of a melody thing it sounds like loads of me just playing the guitar in a flutey kind of way."
