My song from 2017 is dedicated to all musicians goig to gigs.
I sing and play mandolin, plectrum banjo and guitars. I produced this with Band in a Box and Reaper at my home in Helsinki, Finland. I remixed it in 2024. I used BiaB style Grazing Country Swing.
I wrote it in my native language, in Finnish. Here is my raw translations of the lyrics:
After our gig crowd rushes to their homes.
There warm beds are waiting for them.
After our gig we stay in the night to pack up our things.
A cold, rugged tour bus is waiting for the band.
After our gig some continues to a club or a bar
to party until the morning dew.
After our gig we also feast a bit:
cold pizza and warm beer for the band.
After our gig we finally get home to sleep.
In the morning we go to work to earn our living.
But after the day's work is over,
we're longing back to stage.
New venue, new night, is waiting for the band. Keikkaeloa - Gig Life by Arri
