Here's a song I started writing at the beginning of March, and just finished recording. I was messing around with a new drum program I got (Modo Drums)... it triggered an idea and this is the end result.

All RT's are listed below. All lead & fill guitar parts (plus a couple rhythm tracks too) are my Strat (Tichiwa) being played through a Spark amp. I'm doing all the vocals as well.

I mastered with IK Multimedia's T-Racks 5.
I also used a number of module processors (plugins) from that same program in my DAW when recording.


As always all comments welcome.

Spread Your Wings and Fly


Don't look back you might not like what you see
Mistakes you made come with a price I do believe
Some day you'll have to settle up and pay the bill
Well I know you can and I hope you will

You know regrets stay in the back of your mind
We all have them and pretend that we're just fine
Don't let 'em haunt you don't leave them there too long
Just learn to deal with it be strong

Then you'll find the way to live your life
Throw away the wrong embrace the right
You gotta reach it's not a mountain too high
You'll learn to Spread Your Wings and Fly
You've got to Spread Your Wings and Fly

(Intro)

Sometimes your dreams can overwhelm you when you sleep
You wanna change them but it seems they just repeat
Like a scary movie that keeps playing in your mind
But don't give up you'll be just fine

There's always fears you just can't conquer them all
If you come up short it doesn't have to be your fault
Greet every day as if it were your last
It's all about the present not the past

(Chorus)
(Intro)
(Solo)
(Chorus)
