Dark, eerie, moody song, guitar work matched it nicely, listened twice, enjoyed it even more the second time.

Make my day to read comments like that. Thanks, Greg!

Lovely stuff - lead tone is cool - particularly for a sim.


Ray, thanks for mentioning the arrangement, we spent a lot of time planning that out and tried it a few different ways until we were both happy with it.

I soloed the kick drum but I'm not hearing any click at this end. Unless I'm not understanding what you mean by "clicky"?

Thanks for the listen and comments, very much appreciated!

Hi Torrey,
Thanks as always for the positive comments! And always great to hear nice things about guitar tone from a fellow guitarist!

Quality of this is outstanding. Beautiful artistic composition!
Guitars are super sweet and crisp. Chris vocals rock!
This definitely makes into top tier songs here for 2019.
I enjoyed it much!

P.S. Dave, thank you for taking time in writing out ingredients. I have heard some good things about ezdrummer, it worked out very nicely for this piece.

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.


Thanks, Misha!

As far as EZDrummer goes it is a real easy program to use and gets good results IMHO. I use it whenever I want something specific that I can't do with realdrums, which is maybe 20% of the time.
The demo is fully functional if I recall, so give it a try! And if you are thinking about buying it, wait until it goes on sale. That goes for the midi packs too, they all go on sale at some point.

It's composed very good and the vocals are as beautiful as in Summers High, although more modest.
I liked the piano at the start of the song and how it builds up with the other instruments.
One tiny thing: where the singer sings ...'wayiyaiyai'(fonetic) I would prefer a more stretched 'waaayyyy'
Now it distracts a little bit. That is a pity. But you're the boss...

Hi Hans,
I'm happy you liked the song overall!

Loved it!

Plus one to that. The piano intro and clear guitar tone are just right
Moody and simply brilliant!

Robert


Thanks, Robert!

Christiane has a fantastic voice... you are very lucky that you have a singer of that standard to work with!

Wonderful performance from both of you!
Will


Very happy you liked this one, Will!

As far as finding a vocalist goes I suggest you have a look around soundcloud, I'm sure there are lots of singer/songwriters there that would benefit from working with someone that has the ability to create good quality backing tracks.

In my case it was Christiane that found me, she heard a couple of the instrumentals I used to do and asked if I would like to work with her. That was 2015 and 40 songs ago, time flys!

Christiane gets the credit for the chord work on this one, I should have mentioned that in the song description. She sent me a piano demo and we took it from there, I just made a couple of minor changes to the chord progression and of course did the arrangement. As a general rule if the song is in 6/8 it came from Chris.

You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing!


Exactly what we were going for, thanks Deryk!

Dave,

Great tune man. The mix on this is superb!

Love the plugins you used on the drums. What was that?

Super guitar sound too and great vocals.

Awesome man.

The Summers High song after it has a wicked groove, by the way!
