I did not write this song, it is a cover of one of Bob Carlisle's (Butterfly Kisses) songs when he was in a group called Allies. Bob did alot of background vocals back in the day for many 80's bands. Mr Mr, Toto are the ones I know of, but he did many more. Butterfly Kisses put him on the map, so to speak. If you like Journey & Styxx, you would like Allies. They were a Christian band in the 80-90's.

He has put out several solo albumns since. He also has a Masters in Music as well. He writes and produces his songs. One Allies albumn was made in an ordinary tract home garage, locally here.

This song is circa 1986, I think.

His voice resembles Steve Perry, alot. I prefer his over Perry's, and we all know what a great voice Perry has.

I actually had to lower this song a few steps for my range. He does it in a higher key.

Melody- I was probably all over the place in the verses, his is obviously solid. His harmonies and arrangement is unbelievably perfect.

Guitar- I didn't have anything in that 8 bar section, so I fumbled with an attempt of a lead. WYSIWG, LOL

I tried to give it that 80's retro sound with the E Piano & E Drums.

Mac always said to find a CD you like and try to emulate it, that is what I did here. Tried.

I used a final Master Compressor setting on the final mix. The Strings and Flute have more punch in the uncompressed mix. The compressor must have lowered it in the final mix.

Thanks for listening everyone, I appreciate it. I definitely hear the klunker notes with fresh ears today.

Thanks again,

Trax
