My Thoughts on “Come To My Window” by Melissa Etheridge
Ever since first hearing “I’m the Only One”, I’ve been a fan of Melissa Etheridge. I still listen to that song regularly. But, I’ll talk about that song another time.
This time I want to talk about “Come to My Window”, which is also a long time favorite of mine. I always identified with the feeling of longing Etheridge expresses here.
The Process this Time
I changed things up by working on all the real instruments first before programming drums. I started with the acoustic rhythm guitar track. That was followed by bass and then the electric rhythm guitar track (Gibson Les Paul).
For leads, I employed my Telecaster and for the melody I employed my 339. I managed to get everything done just inside of my self imposed two hour limit.
This was a fun cover to make and it certainly won’t be the last Etheridge song I cover.
