Here's a song I wrote in February 2023, and recently finished the recording.


I was inspired by Floyd's recent use of the cello RT, but I couldn't get it to work for me on this song, so ended up using a viola RT, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

All RT's are listed below. All lead, plus a rhythm track are my Tele being played through a Boss GX-100 processor that I recently got. I'm doing all the vocals as well.

I did use my MODO Drum plugin for some additional drum parts.

I mastered with IK Multimedia's T-Racks 5.
I also used a number of module processors (plugins) from that same program in my DAW (Reaper) when recording.

As always all comments are welcome.

When I'm Around You


I don't wanna let you see, the way you make me feel... When I'm Around You
I thought I could never find, this joy I feel inside... When I'm Around You
Who knew it would be this way,
I'm just so afraid of what I think you'll say
I don't wanna let you see, the way you make me feel... When I'm Around You


Sometimes I find it hard, to say the things I want... When I'm Around You
'Cause even though it's in my heart and mind, I'm just so shy... When I'm Around You
I wish that I could let you know,
You had me from our very first hello
Yea even though it's in my heart and mind, I'm still so shy... When I'm Around You


(Solo)


I pray some day I can open up my heart
And make you see we should never be apart
Then I hope you say the words I've longed to hear
Come hold me close to you yea always keep me near


That'll be the day I let you see, the way you make me feel... When I'm Around You
Yea then I'll wanna let you know, the way you make me feel... When I'm Around You
When I'm Around You
