Hi Folks.

This is a song about a guy who's wife is cheating on him, or he may just be paranoid.

It started out simply enough in Realband with just RD-Hip Hop drums, RT628 Bass and RT587 Sax, but then it started to get complicated. I added two tracks of horns using Forte and a trumpet track using Edirol Orchestral and it started to sound a bit Average White Band. Then I added a piano using the old DX7 and it went a bit Shakatak. I took the track over to a friend's place to add a track using his Farfisa Compact Duo, which fortunately happened to be working at the time and then started looking at a melody. This really ate up the tracks. Each phrase was recorded separately and used four stacked tracks each, some of them being recorded through my 80s Syntovox vocoder for that period effect. Total number vocal tracks = 28. Another three tracks of guitar ornamentation were added and then the original drum track was replaced with a midi programmed track.

So here it is, at last, and many thanks to anyone who has the time to listen.

SOMETHING GOING ON
I thought that we were cool
I thought that we were strong
You must think I'm a fool
Because there's something going on
Yes there is
Something doesn't feel right.

You just don't treat me right
You know you treat me wrong
There's gonna be a fight
Because there's something going on
Yes there is
Something doesn't feel right.

Sometimes I come home early
And find that you're not home
Sometimes I walk in and you hang up
When I see you on the phone.

Cheers, ROG
