Two Pretty Girls While browsing through my archives for songs that a rock band could play, I found this song I composed in 2008. At that time the arrangement used mainly MIDI tracks so it didn't sound very pleasing, thus I had almost ignored it. I decided to give it some fresh sound, fix some lyrical issues and sing it myself. I kept one MIDI track, but used very nice SampleTank 3 guitar preset. I am more than happy with the end result, BIAB with its recent RTs can really make an old song sound like a completely new one. I hope also you like the driving energy of the arrangement  Note, no woman in the title this time MIDI: guitar / CC_HIVE.STY (VST - SampleTank 3) RealDrums: NashvilleEven8 RealTracks: Electric bass #2591 Electric Guitar Rhythm Punk #2583 Electric guitar soloist #2586 Baritone guitar #2499 Organ #671 Acoustic Piano #2353 Vocal OohsAahs #2975 Vocals: Janne S Mixed in Cakewalk by BandLab Lyrics: Fell in love again blind like other men she was beautiful but strong thin line dividing right and wrong. A brunette having fun always on the run trendy, groomed apperance a country girl with elegance. Two pretty girls like east and west fighting over my heart one with her kindness the other with her sword. Two pretty girls like yin-yang I can't make up my mind should I join the rhythm or should I play the right chord? Rings she didn't wear no make-up no dyed hair just naturally blonde modest things set apart or bond. Easy, sociable soothing spectacle priceless is her love's worth a city girl but down-to-earth. Two pretty... Seasons come and go moods like tide from high to low, crop needs sun and rain pleasure comes with pain. Two faces of the coin two sides I could join but the choice is not black or white there's a rainbow in every light. Two pretty… Two faces… --------------------- Janne

I think remember this song or one with a similar theme but a darker outcome?
The Real Tracks really improve things though I think the intro solo is a bit loud and the verse vocal too.
The chorus levels are cool.
Cheers

The song title caught my eye. Yes, high energy tracks--this song rocks. This has a catchy pop chorus. I especially like "she was beautiful but strong/thin line dividing right and wrong." I think I know her.

It's no fair if you don't make up your mind. This rocks along just great. I like that the instrumental bridge is quite so different from the main body of the song in progression. Much enjoyed.

Hi Janne,
Very nice song that made me happy when listening... "Feel good"-mood coming up!
I agree with rayc that it maybe would have been beneficial to the song if your vocal in the verse had been a little bit less loud compared with the backing track.
Very enjoyable song!
Thanks for sharing!
Will

Janne,
Cool song. A terrific Pop sound - you are good at getting that type sound from the BAND.
The chorus is especially nice. The guitar solo is good. Enjoyed.

Nice work Janne, this is excellent! This is beautiful and I really dug the chord progression. Excellent guitar riffs and great effects on the vocals!
Cheers,

Janne, Cool positive pop! Very good BIAB arrangement and mix! Unusual & optimistic lyrics This was very clever in context: "should I join the rhythm or should I play the right chord" Thank you for sharing! Misha.

Thanks Ray for commenting I haven't showcased this one, so it's probably some other song, but yes this is one of my few lighter ones. I like how the intro solo is on-your-face as a wakeup call, but you are right about the verse vocals, I guess I should use automation to lower the volume on the first half of the verses. Janne

Nice upbeat tune Janne! I hear everything in this from the Police to the Beach Boys all coming together in a cohesive rockin" tune! Nice little quiet place towards the end! Thanks, Torrey
