My friend Richard produced some more excellent lyrics, so I set them to some tracks from Drums On Demand's 'My Co-Writer' series, and added a string quartet part from BIAB using style _HSTRBAL.STY at 83 bpm.
It's a full-on power ballad best enjoyed loud! grin

"I Let You Down Again"

Wonderful song!! Really beautifully arranged and performed. This has a great 70's feel, my favorite era for rock. Everything works for me. Great to see you around more John. You make some great music!! Take care. Greg

John,

Neither you or Richard let us down with this magnificent song.
It is, as usual, up to your high standards.

At first listen the guitar sounded superb just like when I first heard Snowy White and his 80's song Bird of Paradise. As the song progressed your song took over a life of its own.

Superb, great production and as I have already said this is up to your normal high standards.

Thoroughly enjoyed
Great song

Alyn

John,

A great listen!

Your production supports the lyric perfectly (your medley, too).
Vocal is strong, clean. Nice.
Love your guitar on this - tone and playing - again, very supportive.

Enjoyed this very much.

Great song John! You and I grew up during the same era but just worlds apart. I can tell through your writing, singing and playing all the many influences that you have had over the years. I look forward to more.
I saw your guitar collection and I do not believe that I have ever seen a better one except in a music store.
Just fantastic!

I really loved this. A rock solid production. It may just be my set up but I think the vocals could have been pulled up just a tiny, tiny tad. They seemed just a hair low in the mix, not much, just a hair.

But I really dig the tune. Great job.

Hi John,

Well, what can we say....
Beautiful song, good lyrics, strong vocals and as a cherry on the cake a wonderful clean 'snowy white like' guitar.
Your music is among the best on this forum.

Power ballad indeed...and, yup, we enjoyed it loud!

Very, very nice guitar/tone and the drum sound is
perfect for the arrangement. Your productions
are a product to always look forward to. And
this certainly didn't disappoint.

And, hey, thanks for making it downloadable!
A great tune and one that will fit right in one
of our playlists.

Kudos!

I've now added a video for the song:
"I Let You down Again" video - Vimeo link

Many thanks for all the nice comments, I really appreciate it.

Alyn, RnAM:
Yes I was trying for that Snowy White/Peter Green tone, it's my favourite clean sound! I managed to dial it in by fiddling about with a patch in SGear2.

Josie:
Try the video if you still can't load the MP3.
