“Land Of the Living”

Emerald Vein founder Bob Young comments on “Land Of the Living:” “This second album I did right after the first one. It was also on Sub Rosa which is a pretty interesting label. They have a lot of spoken word stuff and don't do too many rock type bands. They are very cool actually, but only had distribution in Europe.

“The song ‘Land of the Living;’ I love the sound of it and what it means to me. (‘Show me the place where beauty lives.’) ‘The Difference:’ I really didn't think much about the words in these songs, basically whatever came out me I wrote, kind of a healing situation. ‘Breath:’I haven't heard in years. I just remember recording Mimi’s voice in both speakers and at the time I thought that was cool! ‘Father of Lies:’ I love Terry’s drumming on that and I was pleased with the guitars and the overall sound. It rocks! It’s all about the devil and his lies. The song ‘Light’ I recorded on this guitar I made with about 15 strings attached to a piece of plywood and some mexican tiles on it. It looked great! I put like 5 pickups on it and you couldn’t fret it so I would play certain strings at certain times. ‘My Maker:’ nice soothing song about waiting on God. It had some good reverse sounds from the E-mu in that one. ‘Bury This Void,’ always loved that song. I just wish I recorded the bass better. ‘Colors:’ another nice fav, one of those rare songs that you just write without thinking. I've never been great with words but that one they just came right out.

“The scribbles on the ‘Land Of the Living’ cover are the lyrics for ‘The Living End.’ I remember writing them at the post office before I mailed the master tapes to Belgium and sent it with the tapes. They just put them on the record… I had no idea on that record what the cover would be. I wanted it to be something else and they suprised me with my big mug on the front and my chicken scratch!”
