Plucked from Shannon Lay’s album “Living Water,” which came out in September 2017 on Mare/Woodsist, “Recording 15” is a sad finger-picked love song. Lay isn’t one to be gushy about boys, but here’s an exception. This tune quietly pries open the wound and takes a soak in its warm steamy waters. Recorded by Emmet Kelly at his home studio, Lay’s gentle delivery makes it feel like she’s very nearby, maybe even inside your brain. Director Mike Nikolla accompanied Lay to the desert and created the music video, which sees Lay get up and slip on her Alf slippers, brush her teeth, then get dressed and go bowling, alone.
