Man in the moon This one started out being a demo that Chris sent me with her playing piano but ended up being a guitar song, worked better without the piano. I changed the chord progression somewhat from her original and also came up with the bridge, but everything else, melody and lyrics was written by Chris. Still not 100% happy with the mix, so any comments on that are appreciated! The Band: Drums: Song starts with POP12/8and switches over to BluesRock12/8 at the bridge for the remainder of the song (bar 33) Bass: 1922 Rhythm guitar: 1924 In addition I added two rhythm guitar tracks (tele) and the lead guitar (strat) MAN IN THE MOON (lyrics by Christiane Spruit, 2017) V1 In the still of the city lies Like a baby you're sleeping tight And the face of the moon above is spying V2 And it seems he is calling your name and I feel my limbs getting lame and the face in the moon above keeps smiling CHORUS: Man in the moon Man in the moon can't get no sleep and I wake up too soon Man in the Moon Man in the moon is there a way to come over to you Short instrumental break V3 We're Collecting the stars above and the way will be long enough be aware to be part of what is fading V4 and the new day is dawning weak and the hope is arising steep they who dare, staying brave in me are not dying Bridge In the glow of light we are expecting to see deamons fly But the angels are guiding the night into the the moonlit sky And the eye of the sky maybe asking me why am I expecting to have all of the time tonight CHORUS: Man in the moon Man in the moon can't get no sleep and I wake up too soon Man in the Moon Man in the moon is there a way to come over to you Guitar solo outro Song also up on soundcloud, here: Man in the moon (soundcloud)

Chris/Dave,
Cool song.
Chris' vocal is really nice. Guitar leads are sweeeet! Good drums.
The rhythm guitars at the beginning seem "a bit thin" - but then work once the vocals take over. I thought the lead could be a bit louder.
Really enjoyed this.

I really like modern blues songs like this. I agree with floyd about the thin guitars in the beginning and the overall lead guitars being too soft. I also though the vocals in the chorus need to be louder. they seemed to drop back a bit. I also noticed the dryness of the snare. A touch of verb would help there. Well written and performed by you both. I really liked it. Tom

I'll revisit it in a couple of days with fresh ears, my ears are pretty much blown out at this point. Thanks again, I appreciate it!

Chris & Dave,
I liked the mood of this - excellent vocals from Chris and tasty lead... both of which we expect from you & they are still a pleasure to listen to.
You`ve had some good feedback on the mix; the drum change was very noticeable to me which does give a kick to the bridge.
Robert

Enjoyed this from start to finish. This is a quality write, performance and production. The lead guitar and vocals are both top notch. I'm liking this song a lot.

Nicely done.
Good ripping tone on the guitar.

"and the new day is dawning weak
and the hope is arising steep
they who dare, staying brave in me
are not dying"
Great lines!
Nice write and vocal/guitar (lead and rhythm) performances.
The word "classy" comes to mind.
Yep, we like it!

Chris and Dave, I like blues and I sure like this. This song has that classic blues vibe with a great vocal that works with your leads very well. This song puts in mind of some of John Fogerty's early work with CCR (The first 2-3 albums) reminiscent of their version of "I put a spell on you". Man I love that stuff!! That music is where I learned to play. Great job and I know you are still tweaking it but it sounds great to me. Take care, Torrey.
