Tom Adams (tommyad) and I share a birthday - March 4th. Today! We discovered that on our first co-write/collaboration post. On our birthday! Pure coincidence. It is now our tradition. I was wanting to do something with a baritone guitar. Poking around the Styles (which I don't often do), I found a BAND that I liked. _MIRE.STY (Mire Swampy Blues) I tweaked the demo a bit and used that to set up a song. And then wrote a lyric (another "topline" write). Reflection of having had SO many birthdays... It seemed like a good song to have some Tom Adams magic on... So I sent him the stems including a vocal and the SGU and let him take it from there. He dropped one of the original guitar tracks and added 3 or 4 of his own. And harmonies. And spent time tweaking the drums. And mixing. And mastering (His fills, leads and solos on this are heavenly!! The stuff he did under the chorus is killer.) Tom can correct me if I'm wrong...and further explain... And we have Birthday Song, 2021... ESCAPE VELOCITY long as i can remember i been looking for some way out and still i'm seeking answers i kick, i scream, i shout it's all nebulous, so ambiguous someone tell me "what's it all about?" confusion and delusion spinning my head around washed in illusion i swear i'm about to drown should i try to make an exit or just hit some bar downtown i need a little help i need a safe place to be or a good running start so i can hit escape velocity i look over my shoulder i don't like what i see i look in the mirror and wonder "is that really me?" so doc gave me a card so i can fly legally one moment i think i'm immortal the next i think i'll die don't know where this [*****] comes from but you ain't never been this high now i know what jimi meant when he talked about kissing the sky i need a little help i need a safe place to be or a good running start so i can hit escape velocity The BAND: RealTracks in style: 2903:Bass, Acoustic, BluesyPopByron Ev 100 RealTracks in style: ~~674:Organ, B3, Background Blues Roadhouse Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 3351:Guitar, Baritone Electric, Rhythm SwampyBluesBrent Ev 095 RealDrums [in style:FunkSanFran Tom Adams: electric guitars, harmonies, mix, master fj: vocal Happy Birthday, bro!

Happy Birthday to the two of you! floyd jane, your vocal sound a bit different here - maybe a different range, or perhaps a different stylistic approach. In any event, it sounds great! Tom, the mix is impressive - nothing sticking out, everything fits into place. The guitar solos and harmony are top-notch. Everything is clear, and balanced - sounds awesome in my headphones. I enjoyed this a lot - a fun song! Thanks for the present!

Alright guys I love that swamp rock/bluesy thing going on this! Yes Floyd the additions Tom put in this are killer!! Floyd I like it when you venture into these genres a little distance away from the Country sound! You handle all of this stuff like a pro! Great song and collaboration! Take care, T

The first beat told me that there was something good coming along.
Great driving delivery.
I think you came close to 'escape velocity'. Drivin' Blues, yes.

APPEE BURPHDAEZ,
Very cool collaboration..the Tommy touches really are magic ones.
The drum massaging REALLY is cool.
That held note at the end really shows how relaxed and into the song you are fj.
Excellent stuff gentlemen.

Cool rocker, fj. Great guitar playing Tom. I am always impressed with your:
a) songwriting
b) production
c) vocals
d) Use of the band
e) All of the above
Correct answer: e - All of the above.

Oooo, I'm telling. You said the "S" word. Safe. I can't say that I know what a "topline" write is, but it was tops, alright.
This was great fun to listen to. Great groove, a real funky dancer. Vocals and guitars rode it hard and put it away wet. That last vocal note killed me. Nothing swampy about the mix, even at it's busiest. Nice work.
A happy belated birthday to the both of yas.

Happy birthday! Your musical wine just tastes better when getting older.
Lyrics and melody flow together flawlessly. Catchy groove really flies, does not matter legally or not. "Kissing the sky" reference and the funny story made me smile. Mix and vocals are top 10 radio friendly, excellent band selection - love the BIAB baritone guitars. The guitar solo couldn't be better for the song, excellent collaboration all together.
