Imagine (4 Young Lads)

I wrote this song with 60s Rock in mind. The Beatles helped lead the way, so it has a strong wording that it is about The Beatles. But it is more about what was happening in the 60s.

https://www.reverbnation.com/silverbeat/song/29544623-imagine-4-young-lads-reprise-rm

There must have been a billion girls
Tears in their eye's crying out Pauls name
Dad said the worlds gone crazy
The news man said the kids have all gone insane
Yeah - thats when the whole thing blossomed
Sure did change those whorn out borring days
Bulbs popping - camras rolling
Life was young
Rock N Roll had set a blaze

Chorus

Imagine four young lads
Setting the world on fire
Imagine a craze so mad
Out of control with desire

There must have been a billion guys
Stars in their eye's playing out Johns songs
Mom said their hair's so shabby
The barber said that hair's just way to long
Yeah - that's when the party started
Felt like it was never gonna end
Drums pounding guitar screaming
Grass was green
Peace and love had set a trend

Repeat chorus

Oh good times they never have to end
You can visit any time you want - just bring your ears and your mind to attend

Wow - I really enjoyed this! I'd love to know the RealTracks being used here smile It is wonderfully catchy, and the instruments chosen here sync together flawlessly.

Great work, and thanks for sharing!

Very nice track, gets right to the feeling you are aiming for. Likewise, I'd also like to know how it was built. Lots of great creative ideas in this. Thanks for sharing!

It's a cool song Terry.
There are some aspects of the mix you could tweak to enhance the hommage as well as give the vocals their due but I assume you're happy with it as is.


Cheers

Really well done!! Those 4 young lads are the ones who made me want to play music. I was 7 years old in '64 and fell in love with rock and roll. Great stuff here!! Take care. Greg

Hello, Terry

I feel some Liverpool groups feel in this tune.
When I was a junior high school student I fell in love with England's rock and roll.
Nice melody and nice vocal!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
