ANY GIVEN DAY (listen to MP3 sample)

THE SONG: "Any Given Day" is your basic rant on televangelism. I was watching this televangelist on the TV and in the right hand corner of the screen he had this meter running with the number of souls he had saved that day. It was running at a pace of dozens per minute. It reminded me of the "Billions Served" sign at McDonalds. So that was the main inspiration for the song. It was written literally in minutes. I was pretty proud of that until I realized that this guy had saved like 480 people in the time it took me to write the tune. My co-writer Mike Naydock contributed some of the 2nd verse that we edited in there after the fact.

THE RECORDING: With this song, the recording was as quick as the writing. Paul sang it. Lots of compression, Big Muff guitars, and sloshy drums. Simple.
