In Case Of Fire ( With Torrey Bliss)Impressed with the FabFour influenced song Torrey posted a while back, I challenged myself to try a Beatlish tune. Mostly I wanted to see if I could write lyrics that have their cheeky Brit. humour. Torrey most generously agreed to take my demo and add his super lead guitar and some polish to the mix. We hope you like our collaboration and welcome your comments. Style is _BRITPOP.STY (Classic British Pop ) RealTracks in style: ~683:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesPush Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 888:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopBronx Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1270:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopUpliftSyncMuted Ev16 120 RealTracks in style: 1948:Mandolin, Rhythm PopUpliftingAndy Ev16 120 RealDrums in style: NashvilleEven16^5-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride In Case Of Fire she left a paper trail a look so veiled a lipstick x on a map dropped on the floor of the elevator she was mysterious like that I won`t pretend I was at loose ends fate had held a clearance sale grasping at straws I pressed hold the door all she said was Bloomingdales follow the signs in case of fire gravity will bring you down in case of fire please take the stairs where I`ll be found I sensed eagerness covered by her dress you might say her hem still showed even in the mall I let myself fall the laws of physics can`t be slowed follow the signs in case of fire gravity wont let you down in case of fire please take the stairs where I`ll be found in case of fire gravity will bring you down for your burning desire please take the stairs where I`ll be found © Robert Cordrey Oct.2017

Your setting the bar very high for yourself but the result was surprisingly good. The vocals may be a touch too upfront.
Great write. Rob

Wow guys!
This is so professional and creative.
Super vocals, and man... can Torrey play!
One small nit... the lead vocal could be slightly less loud in the verses (but that's just our opinion).

Robert & Torrey...
Cool to see you guys getting together for this...
A great listen. A fun write. "...dropped on the floor
of the elevator
she was mysterious like that"... Really like that!
Creative production. Good mix. Love the guitars (nice job Torrey).

I have to agree that the vocals do jump out as being a touch loud, but otherwise the song is pretty darn flawless! The overall quality is very professional! Great job! 
Cheers,
Ember

Robert, first of all, let me say it was a real joy to work with you on this! I have always felt your ability to write a clever lyric is top level!
"I sensed eagerness covered by her dress you might say her hem still showed
even in the mall I let myself fall the laws of physics can`t be slowed"
I wish I could come up with lines like that without spending days on them. I noted a couple of comments about the vocals being a little hot in the verses. This folks is my fault. I mixed them hot because I didn't want those clever lyrics obscured by the backtrack. I remixed and sent again to you Robert but I still love this one as it is! Fun song and I loved working on it! Thanks, Torrey

Rob, There`s a bar? A new mix with vocals toned down on the verses is up now- thanks for the review and comments here and on Soundcloud. Robert You nailed it guys!

Kenny Kenny, I attempted to put myself back in time to the days of watching the nudge-nudge, wink-wink tv shows of the early 60`s that I think influenced the Beatles as much as vaudeville... I`m happy you were entertained. Yes, Torrey really hit the mark with the guitar- doubled the fun factor of the song! Robert

Very, very nice, gentlemen! Terrific lyric and vocals. Torrey's guitar parts are really sweet. Everything to like and nothing not to like.
Comments will be brief as my wife is experiencing serious medical issues.
very nice!

Rob and Anne-Marie Rob & Anne-Marie, That`s very kind - this is a stretch for me, but of course bread and butter for Torrey! Vocals lowered a bit now. Robert

Thank you, Floyd; I wouldn`t have dreamed of giving a pure pop song a whirl until disovering BiaB and this forum... I sure hope Torrey invites me over to play at his house someday! Robert I have to agree that the vocals do jump out as being a touch loud, but otherwise the song is pretty darn flawless! The overall quality is very professional! Great job! Ember, Thanks for your listen and likes!

very nice!
Alan Alan, Your taking the time to listen and comment- particularly at this tough time, is much appreciated. Robert Nice!! Great job on the mix, the way you handled the vocals especially. Fun lyrics, and I love the guitar work, nice job by Torrey! Only complaint is it was too short Dave, Thanks for that - especially pleased you enjoyed my vocal effort. Pre-Revolver I`m not sure the lads recorded anything over 3 minutes, so that was my limit starting out. It helps when you have a guitarist like Torrey who can peel off the riffs with no room to spare! Robert
