Here's my latest track.
It's almost finished but is waiting on a local guitarists to drop his lead parts on it.
In the meantime I've tweaked away and need OTHER EARS.
BIAB provided the drums, RockClassicBritEv^7Tom, and organ, 686OrganB3BackgroundPopEv120.
Verses in A maj & choruses in F maj.
With the drums I took a page from Mike Leander's tracking processes for Rock N Roll Parts 1 & 2...he used to do a full kit drum track and then do the kick n toms again. The slight timing differences added to the extra bottom end gave it a two drummer sound without the timing issues that are more evident in the cymbals n snare.. Something the Glitter Band achieved live with two drummers.
I duplicated the track, aggressively filtered out anything above the toms and added a 100% wet tiny delay on the 2nd version and blended them together.
Guitars are Squire Mustang HH through a Marshall.
bass is a Vantage through a BDI21.
ANY suggestions or ideas gratefully received...

LYRICS
IN THERE SOMEWHERE

Reason with the logic rhyming riddles for a song
But the words don’t come together something definitely went wrong
The smiling clown went away for good to the circus, city, sewer
He was running out of lives & his mask was so much truer
He was running out of life & the options are fewer

There is no rhyme or reason
For feeling like you do
No, no definite rhyme or reason
But the focus is on you.
So come my bleeding jester
Entertain the gawking crowd
No definite rhyme or reason
Just the voices getting loud

The man was in there somewhere beneath his rhyme there was no reason
His façade would someday crumble his humour was his treason
& they laughed at your insanity no prying eyes to look inside
But their laughter was inanely aimed at the mask in which you hide
But their laughter was inane again, as they line up to take a side

There is no rhyme or reason
For feeling like you do
No, no definite rhyme or reason
But the focus is on you.
So come my bleeding jester
Entertain the gawking crowd
No definite rhyme or reason
Just the voices getting loud

There is no rhyme or reason
For feeling like you do
No, no definite rhyme or reason
But the focus is on you.
So come my bleeding jester
Entertain the gawking crowd
No definite rhyme or reason
Just the voices getting loud
