Sails on Soundcloud
Sails on YouTube


A song about a sailing adventure that lasted a lifetime.
Only with BiaB can (at least this) one afford to have 4 guitars (not including the one I added), 2 pianos, 2 drummers, a synth, and a steel drum in one session for a song that probably isn't good enough to make the album.

Style is _DIRE.STY (Dire Smooth Pop Ballad)
RealTracks in style: 910:Piano, Electric, Rhythm SmoothBallad Ev16 065
RealTracks in style: 3608:Guitar, Electric, Background ReggaeSlow16SingleNote Ev16 065
RealTracks in style: 2525:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm FunkWahWahChords Ev16 100
RealTracks in song: 1841:Synth Pad, PopModernGrooveHigh Ev16 075
RealTracks in song: 1850:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopShiningGrittyMuted Ev 120
RealDrums in style:SmoothJazzBallad^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride

SOLO (or rather musical interlude) was changed to this:
Style is _WARMCAY.STY (Warm Cay Latin and Island Fusion)
RealTracks in style: 920:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Rumba Ev 110
RealTracks in style: ~1103:Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm BossaGrooveComp Ev 085
RealTracks in style: 3522:Steel Drum, Rhythm IslandGroove Ev16 100
RealDrums in style:Island16thsWesPerc^1-a:Hat,Kick , b:BellRide
I played bass, guitar and sang.

Sails
I saw her sailing in the moonlight.
Her hair was trailing in the breeze.
Her dangling foot splashed through the water.
I watched though mangrove trees.
All the night sounds skipped a beat and my heart fell low in tow.
The serene scene held it's grip on me. I knew she'd never know.

Her hull so quickly whispered by me.
She smiled up briefly to the moon.
Her sparkling eyes increased my longing.
I looped in love's lagoon.
Soon the wind took her away and my heart sank deep into the sea.
I vowed to find her in that boat one day to sail her home with me.

I see her sailing in the sunlight.
She's smiling back at me right now
We sail around our favorite islands.
She lays across my bow.
All the seagulls sing our song,
and they chase away the glooming gray.
So every day we both sing along,
and then we'll sail away.

SO smooth! Well done, Marty. One of your best songs, I think - and definitely, definitely good enough for the album! smile Those tropical instruments (whatever do you call them? haha) around the 2 minute mark ... great stuff, and great modulation into the major, to go with them smile . Loved it all - this song is kind of "understated", perhaps? but still pulls the listener in. Enjoyed it smile

Marty, super track indeed! LOVE your vocals, and the bass and guitar really pop. Inventive arrangement, and the shift to C major for the solo was a nice lift. WAY more BiaB instruments than I've ever been brave enough to put on a track, but you've crafted them into a groovy, seamless sound. Awesome and very inspirational. Another nice one!

Marty,

MAN! your Bass sounds good! Or Great! For me it was the center and all those other instruments swirled around it (like the Sun).
A very cool mix of instruments. Well used steel drums!
You brought the ocean and the islands to us.
And you got the girl!

Excellent Mix.

I really like the slightly reggae style, the steeldrum part brings freshness and the mixture of music and images arouses the imagination.

Cool stuff. A sailboat, a woman , and tropical setting...... Great song. Something that Jimmy Buffett would appreciate.

I enjoyed the journey. And not a single drop of rum.....

Thanks, James! Yeah, that major lift represents the time he sailed around looking for her. When he finally found her, things went back to normal --only better.

Thanks, Ron. Sometimes the crappier the song, the more it needs a wall of sound --musical prestidigitation.

Marty, when I read "A song about a sailing adventure that lasted a lifetime." I said oh great, a song about the SS Minnow!
Super vocal, instrumentation, and mix.
Great bass.
Loved that steel drum segment!
IMHO this is your best to date.

Really love the feel of this one Marty!!! I love how the mood picks up with the steel drums!! I too am a big fan of sailing. My dad owned 3 boats through my childhood and teen years and I have such wonderful memories of those times. Working on a sailing song myself. Really enjoyed this, and I always love to hear you sing!! Take care. Greg

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

The changes in the flow of this work perfectly. Excellent song as ever.

#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

As you know, I really like this song, Marty, nice feel.

I love that little melodic part you are playing on your Parker, nice little hook that makes the song for me.

Thanks, floyd. BIG SMILE on the bass compliment. Turned out she wasn't really worth all that trouble, so he joined the merchant marines. Maybe there'll be a sequel.

Thanks so much, Laurent. I thought I was getting a little carried away with that sailing search in the Carribean.

Thanks much, Greg. My favorite line (in addition to you loving my singing, which is crazy considering the voice that said it) is "Working on a sailing song myself." Sailing is such a wonderful experience. Looking forward to your song about it.

Thank you, David. Your work with synths, the Peter Gannon video on doing it in BiaB, and my vocals are strongly pushing me into trying it.

Thanks, Chay. Bridges are supposed to be different than the rest of the song, but this one is maybe too different, but it may have ended up being that sailor's favorite part of the adventure if the hunt was better than the catch.

The funky wah wah made us feel like we were on the ocean waves.
We can almost see the sparkling waters.

Those steel drums are so cool! Great BiaB session folks all around.

Your vocal and bass performances are smooooooth as is the fine mix.
Man, how you can make that many tracks work and still not sound dense is amazing.

And we love the happy ending!

Enjoyed the trip!

I've been busy lately on another project (actually 2 projects) so I'm quite behind on visiting the Showcase but I'll join with the others who say this is album worthy.
You may have used a bunch of BiaB tracks, but it in no way sounds cluttered or too crowded. Most likely because of 3M: The Marty Method of Mixing smile
As always, nice work on the fat strings.
Well done.
