Little Soldiers is genuinely one of my favourite songs of ALL TIME! So seeing how this song has progressed over time is so interesting. It is such a treat getting to see how my favourite song was made/how it changed over time.
I remember texting Emilee when I first heard this one to say "someone had to write that song and I'm glad it was you." There are I think three songs of theirs I heard them play before release and made a point to ask about and pay attention to when the song was finished. This is one (the other two were Crooked/Cradle and the one off Wedding where Em says a swear real vicious, can't remember the name off the top of my head)
@@Jam_CantDraw If someone ever convinces Kate to let me post it online, I have a burnt CD-R of her very first "solo" demo album from before the band, that I bought from her around the time we first met at this little punk club back in like 2008 or 2009. I promised her a little bit ago I wouldn't ever post it without her permission, but I bet if enough fans were to beg or raise money for charity or something lol. It's really interesting to hear the proto-Wives elements and I'm very glad I never got rid of it.
For sure! There are so many great artists in this area and I've been lucky enough to work with or near a lot of them, and it always scares me that eventually this stuff will be lost to time. So I try to preserve it where I can! Although given their recent boom, it seems like the wives won't vanish into obscurity anytime soon ❤️
Absolutely! I've gotten to make friends with so many great artists in my home town and for a little while I was really into uploading anything I could to preserve it, so it didn't disappear from the Internet one day. I'm dealing with illness and trying to make time for my own projects rn -- and the Wives are getting to a point they're popular enough where most of this probably won't disappear (yay) -- but I'll start trying to upload anything else I come across when I have time, especially the old stuff. ❤️
