Hi all, Here's a new collaboration. This is a minor blues. https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/i-was-your-pawnSinging : Misha Lyrics : Ray Cochrane Music : Christian Devienne When I remember you There’s nothing I can do I crawl within my shell And seek, seek the night To move beyond the past Forget what happened last You’ve gone You’re leaving me all the blame You’re gone And only the scars remain You’re gone I am alone You are gone You’re gone I was your pawn Now you’re gone When I remember you There’s nothing I can do When I think of you There’s nothing of we two I claw at the thought That you saw me as nought To regain who I am No sacrificial lamb RD BluesRock128^4 RT 2873 Acoustic Bass RT 526/529 Acoustic Guitar RT 569 Resonator Guitar RT 1923 Electric Guitar RT 2686 Electric Guitar RT 2167 Piano RT 1883 Piano RT 3278 Vocal

Chris,
thanks for the opportunity to collaborate once again.
Despite it being a minor blues this was a challenge: avoiding too many cliche's yet still using some standard blues phrases and phrasing to emphasize the origins.
It was, in the end, a fairly painless process.
I enjoyed it.
Thanks.
Cheers

Hi Chris, Ray, Misha.
Wonderful. For just over three minutes I was transported to a smokey Paris bar in the 1950s.
Excellent work here by all those involved.
Cheers, ROG.

Great collaboration guys... It reminded me of a blues Cricket would do in that bar in old Martinique... Very pleasing & nostalgic... I enjoyed listening!

This song put me in mind of the 40s era, from an old movie soundtrack it would have fit well, and had a nice roll along effect to it.
I loved the style and lyrics.
However as it went along I was enjoying my listen, but looking for the lift somewhere in the song, But it never came.
Just my view I would have loved to hear it lift then back down etc.
Thanks

Dave, Jim, Rog, Peter, Joe.
Thank you for listening and kind comments! My part was very small as Christian already had a melody for it.
Jim, thank you for the "Cricket" link, it was great!
Beatmaster, thank you for honest feedback! Much appreciated! Maybe Christian will allow me to re-do this as an experiment, slightly differently one day. I think I tried to adhere to original melody too much, that is why it is a little bit stiff.
Misha.

Really interesting nocturnal blues with excellent chord progression, the lyrical landscape is gloomy, I can almost feel heavy rain of that lonely night on my face. Great band, every instrument plays its role perfectly. Great collaboration!

A very pleasant listen, fellas...
Good BAND. Good mix. Nice vocal. Well mixed.
It has an early-Tom-Waites vibe to it... always a plus...

LOVE what ROG said "Wonderful. For just over three minutes I was transported to a smokey Paris bar in the 1950s."
On our third listen. There's a LOT to like here...
The vocal, melody, lyric are so well presented by the pro sounding mix. Great soundstage on the monitors.
If we were walking by a club and heard this we'd step right in and have a seat for more!
Great collab y'all!
