SONG >>> A FREAKY ROCK SONG.
(SHE BLEW HIS MIND.)

NOTE >>> Song deleted in order to try to improve the master.

(a complex big studio multilayered guitar oriented rock song.)
(apologies if anyone hates it. please use good earbuds.)
(caveat...for adults only....if there is enough interest/requests i'll put it in user showcase as powertraks was used early on and/or leave it up on soundcloud for a couple of weeks.)


1..HOW IT CAME ABOUT.

over the years in various music groups i sang in...(not just rock..) i was sometimes ridiculed for not joining in re drugs.
to this day i have never done such.
one of many reasons being i was put off many times not only by my family growing up but also at a very very early age by seeing what happened to someone i knew....and i'll leave it to that.
however because of the above over time a kernel of a song idea gradually grew.
this era i call my 'jekyll and hyde good boy/bad boy'
phase...lol. i was a bit of a rebel....lol.

those were crazy times singing in all sorts of music groups from massed choirs to rock groups....
tons of fun....lol.
without being 'preachy' i believe the big boss gave us all music to have fun with.

2..GEAR USED.

..initially the song was mapped out in powertraks which i think is a great music app. (later i bought bb/rb.)
(for lurkers thinking of getting ptw..i did a ton of songs in that era with ptw.)
..THEN.....it was recorded over time with some pretty impressive big studio artillery. eg..2 inch tape based mtr's..and lovely studio audio consoles etc...this wasnt a one day and done song.
..the third phase was complex mixing in a world class studio (with a big arsenal of gear) with an impressive well known client list from all over the world.
(one heck of a studio complex. frankly it boggled my mind.
they treated me extremely well given the small amount of my nothing budget.)

3..THE SONG ITSELF.

..its a very complex song with lots of guitar layers etc..
ie lots of work.
thus of course automation was used in the mixdown process due to the complexity.
..in essence the story is about a freaky lady that lures an innocent
lad into.....
well i'll leave the listener to have a listen to the story...
((you can probably guess the story from the clues ive given.)
..i wanted the song to communicate in a subtle way that drugs can really mess with ones life...and the consequences....
eg the aforementioned friend of mine.

4..IF YOU PLAY IT.

..be as honest as you wish...i can take it.
dont hold back with critique.
particularly would like to know what people think of the wild guitar outtro starting around 3mins30secs...lmao.
as well as my bonkers Mr Hyde rock vocals overall and the final 'yell'.
like lots of songwriters i do the best i can and thats it.
..it might not cater to all tastes.
..it reflects a crazy busy singing period of my life.
but hey...crazy stuff is how i met my big hearted wife after living all over the world.
i got the best of the deal...she got a daft music goof...lol.

happiness always to all.
