Consequence existed for a short time as a completely different song before we
realised it bit the big one and decided to start again. (the original was played
live once at the Rocket Festival, River Stage in Brisbane) The only parts we kept
from the original version were the chorus and the middle section. The middle
section became the new verse for the album version of the song which has stayed
nearly exactly the same except, initially, the middle section had only the vocals
you hear at the start of the album version (whispery, floating stuff).
After numerous attempts at skipping the heavy section at the end of the
third verse and going straight into the chorus, we took some advice from producer
extraordinaire Dave Leonard, left a 9 count, caught the word Consequence with some
nice studio delay and left it at that. From there Kurt wrote the middle section
out of the 2nd chorus but we still needed and end, which, whilst doing sound check
at Yamba Bowls club Kurt stumbled across a more refined version of the heavy verse.
(If you listen closely you will hear a strange sound running throughout the middle
of this end heavy section which is a vocal delay taken from the final build into the end out of the middle).
