As we count down to the end of 2016, I figured a "clock song" would be appropriate... A co-write with Michael LeBlanc. The BAND: Style is _ELECROK.STY (ElecRock RealTrks guits (120 RS)) RealTracks in style: ~388:Bass, Electric, Metal Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 694:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ElecRockArp Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 697:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ElecRockDirty Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1273:Guitar, Electric, Soloist PopUplift Ev16 120 RealTracks in song: 1169:Guitar, Electric, Soloist RockMediumBrent Ev 120 RealDrums in style: RockHardModernEv8^2-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open HiHat BIAB Cowbell Loop Cuckoo clock sample CUCKOO i hear the clock strike i'm reminded by that bird been waiting all night cuckoo is all i've heard i'm gonna smash that bird if he calls out one more time it'll be his last word he's driving me out of my mind he called me cuckoo once he called me cuckoo twice he called me cuckoo through the night 'cause i'm waiting for you to come back home undeniable, certifiable crazy as a loon 'cause i'm waiting for you to come back home still waiting for you to come back home it's nearly morning where the hell you at i smashed that bird; i warned him can't take no more of that one last look, hit the lights giving up, going to bed but something just ain't right cuckoo still running through my head repeat chorus Happy New Year, Y'all. Hope you have a great one. floyd BIAB 2017 installed and ready to go...

Great song Floyd and Michael.
So much energy in that song, I can see you kicking that bird down the street.
All the best.
Cheers.
Mike.

Hi Floyd and Michael.
I DO like your heavier side, Floyd.
An amazing track with super guitars and what sounded like Phil Collins on drums!
Great vocals and inspired lyrics.
A startlingly good mix - loved the reverb.
A good track to close out 2016.

Yeah! Awesome groove, and nice to hear you rock out!
I really enjoyed this, great intro! And the lyrics are fun and well written. Love the vocals, especially in the chorus, the way you arranged that part.
I would have liked the lead guitar to be just a touch more upfront in the mix, it seems a little buried, especially the little lead guitar fill before the second verse.
Great way to end out the year!

A solid production, and a very clever write.
In particular, I loved the way you held off on the reveal - 'cause i'm waiting for you to come back home - until the chorus was almost over. Sort of a "Luke, I am your father" moment that completely transforms the song.

What a power sound! And how do you get your mixes this loud without clipping?
Love the cuckoo sound, when I first saw the title I didn't know what to think about it, until I listened ;-)
you and Michael did a very nice job. A great rocker all around.

Appreciate your support always, ROG. And...to have you say the drums sounded like Phil Collins is a real compliment! The RealDrums in the style (RockHardModernEv8) were a good choice for this... and I added a snare sample track that duplicated each of the snare hits - and a kick track that duplicated each of the kick hits... that way, I could have complete control of the volume of the kick and snare... "startlingly good mix" - I really appreciate that, too!!

What a great unusual twist for a song!! Really fun rocker! The sound is awesome-sounds like a 70's rock band in a midnight studio with everything turned to eleven!! I don't think I've heard this level of "liveness" with just RTs. I know I can't get there. Vocal (performance and processing) is stellar. Awesome job on this one!! Take care. Happy New Year! Greg

Love the way you got that cuckoo clock intertwined with the rhythm. Terrific arrangement.
Clever write. Different and fun.
I always enjoy your rock side - love the vocal and harmonies.
Really great sounding high energy rocker.
Happy new year!

I would have liked the lead guitar to be just a touch more upfront in the mix, it seems a little buried, especially the little lead guitar fill before the second verse.
Great way to end out the year! Thanks, Dave. I did wonder about whether the lead needed to come up some. Although, the short one before the 2nd verse was intended to "blend in" to the music flow with the cuckoo, so I'm good with that being not-quite-so-up-front.... but I do think the main solo could come up some... Very Nice Floyd. Great production. Great harmonies. Great song. Love the cuckoo sample! Thanks, Joanne... A solid production, and a very clever write.
In particular, I loved the way you held off on the reveal - 'cause i'm waiting for you to come back home - until the chorus was almost over. Sort of a "Luke, I am your father" moment that completely transforms the song.
- glad you dropped by, David. But, now I keep hearing "Luuuukkkee..."
