OP PatrickH Apprentice Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 277	Here is a new recording called Typical Guy . I wrote it awhile back and just got around to laying down the tracks and putting it together over this past month. BIAB Style is _SZFLSH2.STY (BritInvaion,2ElGuit,bass (140RS)) RealTracks in style: ~1010:Bass, Electric, BritInvasion Ev 140 RealTracks in style: ~499:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm StoneZ Flash 1 Ev 140 RealTracks in style: ~505:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm StoneZ Flash 2 Ev 140 RealDrums in Song: RockClassicBritEv^3-a:Snare, Closed HiHat , b:Snare, Loose HiHat Comments and suggestions always welcome. I stand accused of being a typical guy If that's really how you feel, well I wish you would tell me a lie. I wish you'd say I'm special to you and that you feel the same way I do and that you'd love to give our love a try. Now, I confessed I love you in that red dress and I told you true you look so good in blue when you where the pink one, well I nearly come undone and that short black leather skirt it makes me hurt A typical guy would rather hear you tell him your sweet lies Doesn't wear your skirt, but it still hurts La la la la la la la la la la la Sometimes I wish the shoe was on the other foot While we're on the subject of those lovely feet There a treasure of you like everything above to and I lay my heart there every time we meet A typical guy seeking treasure sailing on this lonely sea lives to lay his world at your lovely feet La la la la la la la la la la la Well, you walk my way and this song begins to play I want to share what I'm feeling I've got to find the words that say what my heart is already singing La la la la la la la la (love you) Doo be doo be doo be (deed I do) There I've nearly said what's rolling round my head Every time I've got the chance to be with you A typical guy doesn't always say what's on his mind Doo be doo be doo be doo be deed I do La la la la la la la la I love you -Patrick Last edited by nobilis; 05/31/15 04:57 PM.

floyd jane Veteran Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 12,388 Florida	Patrick, Fun song! Kind of Elvis Costello/Cars/Bubblegum feel. And very catchy! The kind of tune that shot to the top of the charts when we were kids... Good mix. What was the twirly, whistling synth in the opening? It seems like you played that..(?) Nice vocals. The harmonies are TIGHT! and really drive the sound of the song...Did you sing them - they sound "real"... nice! however they were done... The Stones guitars work great for this without sounding derivative ("like a Stones song"). Because of the speed up I imagine... (giving it that EC sound)... The ending was cool - almost transformed to The Kinks! - you covered a lot of ground in this! I must have listened a dozen times... enjoyed it each time.. floyd 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Janice & Bud Veteran Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 15,293 GA USA	This reminds me of the mid 60's sound, i.e., post Beatles but before blues rock and psychedelia began to dominate. floyd described it well. It did take me back to the Kinks. But...irrespective of the flashbacks it sounds refreshing and showcases your fine talent in the write, the vocals and the entire production. A great listen. Thanks J&B Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

I found it entertaining and uplifting and it left a smile on my face after it had finished. What more could anyone ask for! All the best, Noel latest song: Walk With Me MY SONGS...

The intro was done on an old Korg DW-8000 synth i picked up recently. I used "patch 38". And played it in ( repeatedly until i got it right). I did sing the harmony line in on a separate track after practicing singing along with the original over a few days of commuting. Towards the end of the tune i subbed the drum parts to push it along. I had a friend point out that Joey Kramer of Aerosmith would often drive a tune with a Cymbal pattern at certain points to give it a lift. i had to give that a go! Thanks for giving it a spin and your comments. I appreciate it. Last edited by nobilis; 06/02/15 01:43 AM. Patrick http://youtube.com/musingthemusic https://soundcloud.com/musingthemusic
