After nearly two months of pre-production, we managed to turn two days of shooting into a masterpiece.

It was the only acoustic version of his single, “Brown.” And the song had evolved so dramatically from the studio version, it was worth me scrounging through old files and contracts to see I had clearance to post it after a given amount.
