Sancho's Perspective V2
UPDaTED - Terry sent me his wav file of the draft vocal so was able to swpa out the split.
I've addressed, I hope, the telephone vocal section issue raised by BD. Terry had sent me the FX printed to his vocal so I've reduced them to match my own version, (1st & third parts), & blended my untreated vox across the section.
BIAB components:
RealDrums popjazzfast
Right hand guitar 4162
Organ 3993
My parts:
Squire Mustang - guitars Left
Vantage Bass
Midi piano - piano roll written
Some chorus harmonies
TERRY BERMAN - Main vocals & generated Harmonies
This one has been waiting for vocals since July. Terry provided a draft version with backing & I had to use the stem splitter in BIAB to get the vocal.
The splitter did quite well.
It's been a month since this vocal arrived and Terry's unable, because of life as usual, to do a full version anytime soon so I decided to finish it with what I had on hand.
Terry changed a few words and did some renovation rescue of the melody.
I think it's close to being ready to master but would love your input as to what needs tweaking.
LYRICS:
V1
Upstairs, downstairs
Too, too twain
Top floor, closed door
Same refrain.
New tears, old fears
Still unchanged.
Fraught night, blurred sight,
Rearranged.
C1
Striding up the stairs
To tilt at windmills
No, no dragon slain
So, walk, walk down again.
Though I've lost the plot
Of who is who and what's what
No, not what I am
But what I am not.
V2
Spoken unheard
Utterance
Written unread
Happenstance
New thought old ways
Open closed
Restart reject
Now deposed
C2
Climbing up the stairs
To tilt at windmills
No, no dragon slain
So, stumble down again.
Though I've lost the plot
Of who is who and what's what
No, not what I am
But what I am not.
SOLO
V3
Upstairs, downstairs
Two, too insane
Top floor,red door
We trained in vain.
New tears, pain sears
Still deranged.
Fraught night, old blight,
Now estranged.
C3
Stagger up the stairs
To tilt at windmills
No, no dragon slain
Tumble, tumble down again.
Though I've lost the plot
Of who is who and what what
No, not what I am
But this misbegot.
