After a longish break to re-form my band I've managed to get back to some song writing! This one is called 'Wasted Years' and deals with how relationships can sometimes become difficult when two people have come such a long way together but each has a different dream of what should come next. I used some tracks from one of Drums On Demand's 'My Co-Writer' libraries plus some Band In A Box tracks: Style: C2_ANDY - Ev.8 Country ballad at 74bpm. Pedal Steel solo: 1667 Soloist CountryPaul Ev All vocals and lead guitar fills/solo by your truly. YouTube video here. (Play in 1080HD if possible!) Lyrics and Tech Notes here.John

Nice blend of RealTracks and your playing. Pro sounding engineering and mix. Thanks for the post.

Hi, John !
Pro work all through !:) A friend of mine just said to me these words : "I was wrong" ! referring to his broken marriage ! Maybe we all should try and see things more from our partner´s viewpoint ? (just wondering having been in a 42 year long marriage ending with the death of my dearest wife) ? Cheers Dani

Hi John, It's great to have you back in the forum I've missed your music! You're my role model when it comes to production involving midi mixed with Realtracks and live playing. I take my hat of to you, your sense of production is incredibly well developed. Really nice work! All the best, Noel

Hi John,
You know I am a fan of your work. This one does not disappoint! Excellent production as always, and the vocals are top shelf as well. Great work!

Thanks friends, I really appreciate the kind comments! Danny C, here's a link to my new band playing 'Valerie'. I'm on the far left. I'm afraid we didn't get the lighting positioned properly so it's a bit dark! YouTube - The Skyline Band and 'Valerie'. (Play in 1080HD if poss.) You can follow our current exploits and see lots of photos on our Facebook page: Facebook: The Skyline Band.

A song full of Truths! Great lyrics. If Only folks would look at both sides more often. "If Only". Great title for a song. Howe about it? Excellent production values all round. cheers Ian
