I sing and play the guitars. I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper Old Friend (Music: EB, Words: EB & MJ 2026) I walked around last night through the old hoods. Among high rises, bright neon lights. I remembered an old friend. Now I'm trying to track him down. But wherever I look for him, I only see strangers. (chorus) Where did you go, my friend? I want to find you and our old quarrels would then be reconciled. Will I find my youth here? That great feeling of freedom? Those sisters, brothers of yesterday. That old gang so cheerful. We sat at the table and argued about ideas. But now our hang out is taken over by rustic people. 2 x chorus ****** Song Summary ************* Key=G , Tempo 100, Length (m:s)=3:31 Style is _DAWNING.STY (Dawning Tamb Americana Soul) MelodyCustom Synth is 012 - Vibraphone, Pop Ballad [SN0699] RealTracks used: RealTracks in style: 2524:Bass, Electric, FunkHalfNotePulseSync Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 2906:Piano, ElectricVintage, Rhythm BluesyPopMike Ev 100 RealTracks in song: ~673:Organ, B3, Background Blues BB Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 1173:Accordion, Rhythm PopCalypso Ev 100 RealDrums in style:FunkyGroove60s-5 and Tamb [Multi]

Hi Esa! Did you have the wrong link to your song? I think it should have been this one? https://on.soundcloud.com/C47clKfHM4xKqdNRTVI like the lyrics theme - searching for an old friend to put things right. Like your guitar work - if I understood correctly, the tremolo rhythm on the left, the rhythm ‘snaps’ on the right, and your lead, which I thought was very catchy. Do you have any other originals? You should post some more! Andrew PS Also enjoyed ‘Nahjus’.

Thanks Andrew. It was a link to my next song. Yes, you got right: I try to use the whole 180 degrees wide sound picture and even the depth of it by delaying the backing band more then the soloists. I pan even the bass guitar a bit from axis (some 25 to 33 degrees - abd often organ or accordion on the opposite side), because it has same frequency areas as soloists: specially solo guitar, but even in the vocals.
I have published 31 own songs in SoundCloud: either my own melody or just lyrics, some translated into Finnish very freely. like in the next one I'm gonna post here. Most of them I have posted here. I've posted now 62 of my productions here, so almost half of them have my own melody or lyrics - and all my own arrangement usually purposely different from the original one.

The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal".
Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.
