Hi everyone,

Our new song:

Looking back

Rob originally composed Looking back in 1993. He used one of the styles of the Roland E10 arranger keyboard.
It's a dramatic song about the breakup with a girlfriend and a failed attempt to get her back.
This is the new 2014 R & AM version. The used real tracks fairly resemble the original arrangement.
Since the original version had only MIDI tracks, this new arrangement has a more 'real' sound to it.

Used real tracks:
1253 Bass Electric, PopShiningHeld Ev 12
894 Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopLondon Ev 065
RealDrums NashvilleEven16
896 Guitar 12 String Acoustic, Rhythm FolkRock Ev 100
1763 Guitar Electric, Rhythm Pop16thsGritty Ev16 085
2337 Violin, Background, PopHigh EV 085
686 Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 120
Additional guitar and solo: Squier Stratocaster

Any comments are welcome.

Lyrics:

Looking back

here at the crossroads in this clear summer sky
these are the lines and the lies that you brought by
so free
here is my slow fading smile

you seem to know exactly how you feel
my good intentions still feel so real to me
this place this town it's where I'll be

no reason for doubt no more running around
standing still (live without me)
I'll try to forget what we once had
looking back

I'll show you a train it'll take you back home
the friend I once met I met her alone
and still
I know you won't be coming home

though the reasons won't show there is one thing I know
I can tell (live and let go)
that I'll try to forget what we never had
looking back

Regards,
R & AM
