Thanks for all the comments on my last post, "Victoria".

With this one, my assignment was to write a ballad with a girl's name for a 50's band. This demo, "Leighann" is all Band in a Box 2015. Some samples from Sonar X3 in there too. Rode NT1000, ART Pro Channel preamp. Not something I would have done on my own but sometimes an assignment makes you think outside the box if you will excuse the pun.

Wonderful!! I didn't catch all the lyrics but heard some wonderful images in there. The arrangement is perfect, and the vocal very passionate and heartfelt (heard a little bit of Dead influence in there). The sax just sings. Great wistful quality to the song. Just loved it!! Take care. Greg

A very enjoyable listen. The chorus melody is especially nice.

The sax is a great addition (at the right time).

(you might consider listing what RTs you are using and a lyric...)

Leighann

Photographs in rubber bands with old thing
holding hands giving her you class ring
you're there again and suddenly the light turns green

her cherry hair flowing off her shoulder
counting stars wishing we were older
went chasing dreams but there was just a seat for one

Leighann why'd I ever let you go
why whas I the last to know
when you started walking away
Leighann we were gonna run away
maybe California
jut a dream that faded away

I stop for gas some cigarettes and soda
it starts to pass I'm thinking that its over
I start the car it's just like any other day

Jeep Cherokee pulling in the next bay
some cherry hair showing just a little grey
a knowing glance then we both go on our way

chorus sax solo chorus

Cool! Solid write, and you've got a strong feel for melody. Pleasant listen.

I'd can't help but notice the chorus uses the word "away" three times... But rhyming them with "California" wipes that sin clean. wink

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
