New Original Song "The Dream" - 01/16/23 08:48 PM
Here's a song I started writing in December, and just finished recording.
I had some trouble charting this out in BIAB as the chord progression I'm using didn't work with 4 beat measures... So I had to create some 4 beat, 2 beat & 1 beat measures to get it to work the way I wanted. This was not something I've ever had to do prior to this, but it did work and was a cool learning experience. However, it did create a big problem when it came time to generate a RD's track! The drum track didn't know what to make of the various 4 beat, 2 beat & 1 beat measures, and as a result kept turning the beat around and then coming back to normal! I messed with this for over 2 hours before I finally gave up and went to "Modo Drums" for the drum track. A very cool drum program that fixed my problem.
All RT's are listed below. All lead & background guitar parts (plus a couple rhythm tracks too) are my Tele (Trigger) being played through a Boss GX-100 processor that I recently got. I'm doing all the vocals as well.
I mastered with IK Multimedia's T-Racks 5.
I also used a number of module processors (plugins) from that same program in my DAW (Reaper) when recording.
As always all comments are welcome.

The Dream
I just watched you walk away without a single thought you know
It doesn't seem to matter much 'cause you don't care which way you go
You've always been this way why should I think you'd change
You only march to your own drum no matter what the others say
Your eyes they're on the road ahead don't care if there's a price to pay
You throw caution to the wind with every move you make
Don't let The Dream take The Dream away / Don't let The Dream take The Dream away
There's times you seem ok to me and others I'm not sure about
That look that comes across your face almost as if you're crying out
Won't you help me, help me find my way back home
You walk where few would care to tread without even a second thought
Not giving in no compromise must be your way what do you want
I see it now it's slipping away but I don't think you can
(2)
Don't let The Dream take The Dream away // Don't let The Dream take The Dream away
Don't let The Dream take The Dream - Don't let The Dream take The Dream away
(Solo)
You only march to your own drum don't care what others have to say
Your eyes they're on the road ahead you're only living day to day
You throw caution to the wind with every move you make
You walk where few would ever tread and give it not a second thought
No giving in no compromise must be your way it's what you want
I see it now it's slipping away but I don't think you do
(Chorus) (2)
(Solo Out)
