#455806 - 02/05/18 12:25 PM [User Showcase] That's How The Story Ends
Registered: 04/03/09 Posts: 6148 Guitarhacker Veteran Registered: 04/03/09 Posts: 6148	...or something like that. This is some serious country music. It was intentionally kept a little more country sounding. It still rocks in a country way of course. See what you think. I listened to Joanne Cooper's song "Diamond Blue Eyes" about a girl who can't seem to break the cycle she was stuck in with guys, and it gave me the inspiration to write this. It's called: That's How The Story Ends The band is: Bass 518 Drums Nashville even 8 Guitars 362 & 365 acoustic Fiddle 1760 Mando 1876 Steel 2540 & 2824 B3 689 All guitar fills and lead is live. One vocal track with no layers and no harmony. (huh?) Have a listen. Comment if you wish. Lyrix: I saw her walk in take a seat at the bar order a drink,check the clock, lay down the keys to her car. She looked like she was waiting, for someone to walk throught that door Stares at the ring on her finger, it doesn't matter anymore. There's a promise bout to break, it's love she can not fake She'll tell herself again, she can keep him just as friends welcome to the dark side, of lies and deceit. She plays that role one more time ... that's how the story ends She leaves her drink on the counter grabs her bag and heads to the door with a change of mind and a change of heart, she's not playing that role anymore there's too much to lose in a game she knows she'll never win be careful about walking on water when the ice is so thin There's a promise bout to break, it's love she can not fake She'll tell herself again, she can keep him just as friends welcome to the dark side, of lies and deceit. She plays that role one more time ... that's how the story ends Edited by Guitarhacker (02/05/18 12:27 PM) _________________________ You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music

Great lyrics and a super vocal along with a super mix, you have just raised the bar for country songs! I an not a big fan of the new Nashville country but I do like country like this. Extremely well done and it's a keeper. _________________________ Today I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon.

This took a few days to write and mix.... I was making fixes and changes up to and even after I posted it.... in fact this is the latest version.

I guess you could add harmonies but it has a live band sound to it this way. I agree wth Mario-this is my kind of country. Robert

So glad my “Diamond Blue Eyes” inspired this great country song. When that chorus comes in it is just like sweet honey. Now you have inspired me to write a country song for FAWM.

The production is all in Sonar and I use automated volume envelopes in every track. It makes editing the fills and other things just so easy. And, it also lets me fade the endings perfectly. _________________________ You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music

Thanks JC.... yep, you never know what's going to spark the imagination for the next song. Sadly, I knew way to many girls with Diamond Blue Eyes through the years. "When that chorus comes in it is just like sweet honey." I like that.... might be a song hiding in that quote somewhere..... Thanks for commenting ...

Peter Peter, the hardest thing in mixing like I do it, is to decide what instrument to use because they all sound so good and fit so well. It takes discipline to pull those sweet tracks down.....

I still "cheated" on the acoustics for the sake of time. Seems so hard to get free time to do what absolutely needs to be done let alone having the time to do things I like to do.

It sounds sincere and heartfelt - you can really hear the passion in both the instrumental and the vocals. I also really found the lyrics helped push it to the next level. You did an amazing job writing this. It makes it really relatable. Great job here, and thanks so much for sharing _________________________ Cheers, Deryk

Now that we're finally moved in at the farm and getting settled, I will have time to write and record quite a bit more than I did during last year. I was so busy moving, and getting things done here on the farm getting ready for the house and everything else that was going on..... I don't think I even turned on my DAW from late spring until the fall..... But, I'm back..... as Jack Nicholson said in one of his movies. _________________________ You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music
