https://soundcloud.com/lawrence-olivier/summer-chaserSummer Chaser (7-12-2009) Lyrics by Lawrence Olivier and Lisa (Ellis) Veraza, Music by Lawrence Olivier I’m a 1981 thirty-three foot Hunter I sport ivory sails and I’m worn from stem to stern I can glide all year long, but I’m better in the summer I ain’t pretty no more but I glisten in the setting sun Hey, they call me the summer chaser Hey, they call me the wandering one Well my mast she might need repairing And my canvass is most undone Sometimes the waters rough but it’s never too rough for sailing I love the feel the wind rushing, I love the smell of the open sea The free water’s always calling me You know the heart of the wild seas, it’s always stealing me closer I can withstand any tide as long as you’re at the helm with me This might be our maiden voyage, or this might be the bitter end And we’re headed now to the place where we began Together in the distance, it’s a beacon that we see And the lights that once were bright now are fading Hey, they called us the summer chasers Hey, they called us the wandering ones You know the heart of the wild seas, it’s always stealing me closer I can withstand any tide as long as you’re at the helm with me I’m a 1981 thirty-three foot Hunter, I ain’t pretty no more but I sailed into the setting sun Realtracks: 1827 Elc Bass 1725 Acu Piano 1582 Acu Guitar 676 Acu Guitar 1680 12-string Acu 1947 Mandolin 508 Elc Guitar 524 elc Guitar 666 Elc guitar 689 Organ 2203 Elc Soloist PopPromiseBrent RealDrums PopCountry16ths

What a tune! Very catchy, and arrangement is top notch. I love the vocal delivery in this too - it's gruff, but smooth at the same time somehow. I could totally imagine this on the radio. You should be proud of this, gruverider! Thanks so much for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

You know what I really like the way this song has been put together, the composition is top notch and the vocals are as Deryk put it 'smoooooth' a good voice man and great backings. I think the fade is right for the song too.thanks for sharing.Paul

Cool song, Lawrence. Good write.
Nice arrangement/production. Nice use of the various guitars. The solos are especially well done. The drums have a great sound to them (how did you process them? - nice thump and snap).
Goes without saying that the vocal is engaging...
Nice.

Bob Thank you Bob. I've begun to experiment with mid-side eq on different aux busses. Cool song, Lawrence. Good write.

Nice.
fj Thank you Floyd. I couldn't get the pop I was looking for. Going back and forth with mix levels. And then I stood up above the level of my monitors to have a change of perception. In a moment of clarity, for some reason the idea of mid-side eq suddenly made sense. I separated the tracks to three different buses and applied different eq to the middle and sides of each buss. I'm still just fiddling around but it made an immediate difference. Do you use mid-side eq? I'd have to guess you do.

Great topic and very original.
I can feel the sea spray in my face.
This reminds me of something from the early seventies.
Excellent bridge.
A real pro job on this.

Great Rock and Roll Song!
Really fun. Very professional production, great vocals, love the dynamics, especially that little acoustic guitar solo part bit at the end, and the delicious harmonies in the rideout.
Superb man!!

Rob Thank you Rob. When I decided to end it with that fade-out I was thinking exactly about some of my favorite 70's tunes.

Lawrence,
As with everything you post on the forum, this is somewhere up there in the stratosphere where all the very, very best songs of the forum live. I really enjoyed this. The groove, your writing and arrangement, your performance and your production took me sailing with you. Fantastic stuff in every direction, from every speaker.
All the best,
Noel

Lawrence, we've been big fans from the get-go and there's no doubt we're gonna love anything you do...but, man, this is over the top good.
It features not only your great signature sound voice, writing but also a production that after three consecutive listens still leaves me in awe. Not a whole more to say. It simply shines all the way around.
And what a cool idea for a tune...seems a bit metaphorical to us.
Superb!

Very cool song Lawrence Super vocal and lyric. What a cool backtrack. What really stands out for me on this song is the way your recorded your vocal and the way you mixed it. It just sits perfectly in the song. And the guitar solo just bites right into the song and the tone.. Well done..
