During a session with David Jarrod. Thomas King and David were working on vocal phrasing. The line was “Holding On.” The effect that was wanting to be acheived was a wisper of the songs title as the musical introduction began. Several takes were recorded. Every take was very simple and said “holding on.” The projects co-producer Jarrod Birds had the idea to reverse the best take and butt it up together in front of the unprocessed take. This was to acheive a swell or cresindo, giving more weight to the wispher just before it was to be heard in the mix. The song “Holding On” stands on it’s own merits. There was no pre planning to construct this occurence. David never said ” I’m” The erie part is even backwards the whole phrase is unchanged.
