I started writing the song in Aug 2001 as "my version" of Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd using their lyric idea as a base. But then the events of today 10 years ago unfolded. From then I always dedicate this song to those that lost loved ones on that awful day.
This is all MIDI ending with !campst8 style but I used other instrs from other styles, long since forgotten as I changed and changed almost everything, except the chords, over the years. The midi is almost totally BIAB but with some help from Jammer Pro and then Cubase SX1.
All vocals are me with a Line 6 preset called Studio Vocal.Guitar solo is me, on my Squier Strat, trying to be flash and "angry" by tapping and playing "over the fretboard" with my left hand and is a mix of various takes. Amp is a Marshall from Line 6 Tone direct UX2 gold with echo and reverb.
Bass is UVI Free. Drums and other instruments are from FL Studio . Choir is from GMedia classic Mtron not the Mtron Pro.

Girl of my Dreams:

I hate September what a miserable time of year
Summer’s gone and winters drawing in
The nights are cold as cold as your heart
it cuts me like a knife

I wanna relax I wanna forget
I want all this to disappear
boy do I hate I hate this time of year
the stage is set and it soon becomes oh so crystal clear
you’re the reason I hate this time of year

My bags are packed and I’m ready to go I’m leaving this town
I gotta get away gotta start a new life on my own
the thought of that well it scares me ooh it scares me half to death

I wanna relax I wanna forget
I want all this to disappear
boy do I hate I hate this time of year
I want to spend the rest of my life with the girl of my dreams
trouble is the girl of my dreams was you.
