A few of the old timers here may remember this song, we originally uploaded it in 2020. I was never happy with the way I mixed it back then, it needed more dynamics. The new version has Marty Straub (BabuMusic) on bass.


The Band:

RealTracks in style: 1839:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopModernGrooveA-B Ev16 075
RealTracks in song: 1831:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopModernGrooveBrightA-B Ev16 075

I'm playing the acoustic guitar, one of the electric rhythm guitars, and the lead guitar.

I used EZDrummer3 for the drum track.

Mixed in Reaper with plugins from Waves and iZotope, mastered with Ozone11.

Black Crack in the Wall (2020, Christiane Spruit)

Wheels are turning
now it's all coming to ground
What we needed, we don't need it anymore

Our children playing
while the dust clouds falling down
burned their dreams in the backyard of the mall

Days of laughter
I still hear the echo down the hall
from the good old days we had before the fall

Black crack in the wall
It won't happen again they call
They scale the city walls
burning bridges and the flames are rising tall
We've seen the black crack in the wall

All the answers
they are blowing in the wind
All the songs we heard and all the songs we sing
Words are burning we all saw the writing on the wall
HISTORY repeats itself, for us all


All comment welcome!

P.S. for those wondering where Christiane has been, she has recently moved and it's taken her a while to get her studio back in operation. Hopefully you will hear some new music from the three of us soon!
