Harvest

Out in the meadow tossing hay.
The skies above are turning grey.

Get it stacked before it rains.
Or our work will be in vain.

The summer breeze is blowing in.
With work near done its time to grin.

Standing silent all stacked in rows.
Lets load it up its time to go.

.......................................................
Slaving hard from dawn to dusk shuck the kernels off the husk, lets go.

We dose-doe do when evening comes, play the fiddle beat the drum lets go
............................................................................

While in the field I'm plowing mud.
Work so hard I'm sweating blood.

Turning sod and plowing straight.
Dinners waiting at the gate.

Fresh earth makes the sweetest smell.
The seed is in and planted well.

Throwing sticks and chasing crows.
The seed the steal from fresh hewed rows.

.......................................................
Slaving hard from dawn to dusk shuck the kernels off the husk, lets go.

We dose-doe do when evening comes, play the fiddle beat the drum lets go
.....................................................

Hi Rob,

You've got a great ear for melody. I loved the feel of this one. Reaper is a great DAW. I was a longtime Sonar user but moved over to Reaper and have never regretted the change. Reaper is also now way more superior with MIDI than it used to be. That's a great asset for things like strings.

Regards,
Noel

Super job, Robert.
Thanks for posting it. Was it all done in BIAB? (or did I miss something.

Seems to me that some handclapping would be a great addition. Call the mates over for some Fosters and set up a couple of mics!!!
Record a stereo party then fade it in or out.

Too Cooloola!!

Fantastic! Wonderful use of BIAB. I love the vocals too. The only thing I'd drop is the constant tambourine. Great lyrics too.

I love this and this is why I love BIAB. It has really freed me.

Great tune!

Hi Robert,

I love this. Wonderful imagery - "throwing sticks and chasing crows".... Well written. Your arrangement, melody, lyrics, vox have an authentic and catchy vibe.

Good song. My new fav of yours.

Hello Rsdean.

Thank you my friend.

Nice job, Rob
(Hey I'm a poet and don't know it!)

I liked the way the instruments entered and exited the center stage, much the way bluegrass musicians would handle the song. As Josie said, it really does have an authentic ring to it... lots of us use the bluegrass real tracks to make songs in that genre, but oftentimes they don't work as well as this one did. It left me wondering if you farm for a living. I work with a lot of people who also farm, and the life your song describes is exactly what I hear from them.

Hey Pat.
I always look forward to your comments.
Ive spent a lot of time in the sawmilling and forestry industry and a little time on farms.

Im am an arborist by trade and speds most of my time climbing trees.

I love the Bluegrass genre and find it very expressive.
I have just down loaded some more RT bluegrass waltz styles and I am half way through my latest work.
Will post it soon.

Thank for listening Pat.
