Something
Not by the Beatles A song that starts off somewhat dark and ends optimistically. Leon Lyric & Vocal I played Acoustic Guitar, Dobro Electric Guitar & backing vocal. The Band FLKTAE8.STY (Even-Eighths Folk w/ Tambourine) RealTracks in style: ~~2474:Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 1422:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopCalypso Ev 100 RealTracks in style: ~896:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Rhythm FolkRock Ev 100 RealTracks in song: ~365:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 RealTracks in song: ~689:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 085 RealDrums in style: TambourineEven8ths: a: Tambourine b: TambourineEven8ths Also a real track rock drum Nashville even 8 added. SomethingSomething bad must’ve happened last night I can feel it in my water; I can feel it in my bones Tremors in the zeitgeist; something’s not right Calling up my friends just to check if they’re at home I don’t want to turn on my TV Almost every day something I don’t want to see We bring you this exclusive live commercial free Voyeuristic coverage of the latest killing spree Something bad is going to happen for sure Bet your bottom dollar there’ll be breaking news today Cameras are rolling; they’re breaking down the door Interview survivors; take the bodies away I won’t surrender to negativity Open up my heart to possibility Open up my heart; I’ll tell you this for free I won’t surrender to negativity Something beautiful happened last night We came together in a meaningful way Misunderstandings all were put right Simmering resentment was all swept away I was amazed by the love you revealed My doubts were erased and my spirit was healed I took your hand; the bargain was sealed I was amazed by the love you revealed Something magical happened last night You told me you had something to say Misunderstandings all were put right Simmering resentment was all swept away I was amazed by the love you revealed My doubts were erased and my spirit was healed I took your hand; the bargain was sealed I was amazed by the love we could feel

Peter,
Very enjoyable song and well recorded/mixed.
Highlights for me:
- Dobro at the start
- Quiet part where the acoustic guitar solos (like the calm before the storm)
- Electric solos (great tone especially the outro one)
- The way the song builds gradually from start to finish
- Vocal sound (doubling and subtle harmonies sound excellent)
- Beautiful combination of RTs
Excellent job!
Jez

Peter,
I enjoyed the very original take on a personal journey in the lyrics
and the gentle guitar break leading to your solo works really well.
The vocals are excellent too.
Very good!

Wow!!!!
What a great message delivered in a gentle non-didactic manner. The mix sounds excellent and the vocals and pickin' are spot on. We're really loving the point where the electric solo comes in -- very dramatic.
Outstanding guys and we look forward to many listens.

Oh my gosh, I love the guitar solos in this!!! Super effective at 2.15ish to go from that tasteful steel string lick right into that screaming distorted guitar. I agree with Receder, too, the dobro at the beginning is a highlight for me!

Peter and Leon,
This is an excellent listen. The write and the production are really well put together. You've both done a great job with this.... definitely one to be proud of.
The line "Simmering resentment was all swept away" appealed to me. It's such a clever statement on so many levels.
All the best,
Noel

Hello, Peter
Your Electric Guitar solos at Interlude and ending are so nice.
And their tones are very beautiful.
It is very favorable to keep rhythm with Tambourine only at vocal parts.
Therefore, it is so effective when drums appear with Guitar solos.
Leon's vocal is also nice, very fitted to this tune.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi
