1946 Gibson J-45 acoustic guitar, the pair jammed to an experimental, looped acoustic backdrop. Recalling the first time hearing Jeff sing, Lucas stated "he closed his eyes and honey poured forth". The pair also jammed to a "back-porch blues lick", with Buckley improvising lyrics overtop, their first original collaboration was born; 'Bluebird Blues'. In a memoir recounting the relationship between the pair, Lucas alludes to this afternoon as the turning point in his aspirations for Gods and Monsters, specifically the longing of replacing Julia Heywood as the group’s leading vocalist and collaborator. Upon the conclusion of their private rehearsal, Buckley agreed to joining Lucas professionally; "I love the name Gods and Monsters… and I’d love to sing with you". Music The chronology of tracks established on the Songs To No One 1991—1992 album ultimately began with two guitar instrumentals written by Gary Lucas in early June 1991, both of which were composed on Lucas’ 1964 black Stratocaster, in drop D tuning. Finalised in ten days, Lucas posted the two tapes to Buckley, who at that point, had returned to Los Angeles, and suggested that he write some lyrics. Mojo Pin The first of these tracks was entitled 'And You Will', which would later form the musical template for 'Mojo Pin'. The piece began as a finger-style improvisation. Lucas describes the first phrasing of the song as "a questioning motif based on a diminished chord to a definitive answering motif in A-minor". Lucas refers to the structure of this instrumental as "four stop-and-start cluster-bursts of 16th-note chords that ascend skyward, then dip down back into minor key hell, and finally resolve in a grand, fermata’d D-major chord, bringing sweet relief". As a keeper of journals, Buckley’s lyrics stemmed long before his collaboration with Lucas. According to collection of diary entries and notes released by Buckley’s estate in the book 'His Own Voice', the lyrics which partnered with the 'And You Will' instrumental, date back to November 22, 1989. Grace Directly after completing the bones of 'Mojo Pin', Lucas maintained the drop-d tuning, revisited an incomplete instrumental and 'Rise Up To Be' was finished. Again, with the lyrical input of Buckley, this track was renamed 'Grace'. In the same way as the 'Mojo Pin' template was formed, 'Grace' began as finger style progression, albeit in 6/8. Lucas attributes the term "funeral waltz" to the intro, which follows an F-minor 7th to a
