Title: "Zooey's Sister (Revisited)" a Geir original for the First Post Fest

OK, it's not my first post, but it's my first song post (the first one was an instrumental "jam".
This is just a simple rocker, and when I on the first version used the microBR, my Ibanez ST300 and and old Orfeo bass (now in Jarle's possession) I this time used ... well .. a bit more gear ...... but hey that was the point of the fest wasn't it ? ;)
Here's the original:
https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=2137
Zooey's sister
I'm sitting in my room
I'm feeling all alone
I wanna get out
and get rid of this gloom
I wanna rock
I wanna roll
I wanna feel a boom
I wanna get out of this cocoon
I wanna learn to fly
60 miles high
no aeroplanes beneath me
around me only sky
I wanna soar
I wanna roar
I wanna make some noise
I feel like I haven't got a choice
--
And flying right beside me
is Trillian and you
Zooey bring your sister
then we'll be more than two
I wanna fly
I wanna cry
I wanna shout out loud
as Africa is rising through the clouds
I'm feeling all alone
I wanna get out
and get rid of this gloom
I wanna rock
I wanna roll
I wanna feel a boom
I wanna get out of this cocoon
I wanna learn to fly
60 miles high
no aeroplanes beneath me
around me only sky
I wanna soar
I wanna roar
I wanna make some noise
I feel like I haven't got a choice
--
And flying right beside me
is Trillian and you
Zooey bring your sister
then we'll be more than two
I wanna fly
I wanna cry
I wanna shout out loud
as Africa is rising through the clouds

Hiya from deepest lurk. Just dropped by and can you believe this I was listening to the original version on my mp3 player while out for my morning walk just a couple of days ago. Love the update here, great production and great playing. Vox are excellent as well. But most of all loving the polished production, you've really come on since those early posts.
Still love the song and the complete wackiness of it.Too cool Mr. G.
Byeeeee!

Loved it! Great loose feel that seems like it could have been a White Album bonus track. Definitely rocks, love the three chord stomp. Going to have a listen to the original now.

Listened to the original recording first. I must say this is a great improvement. In every way..the singing, arrangement and production. You have come a long way my brother.

Great arrangement and full bodied song. Vocals and guitar work sound brilliant. Wish they'd play this kind of music in my local, but we can dream. Rocktastic.

Makes me think of a Jeff Lynne ELO rocker. The music is red-hot, the guitar is filthy overdrive gorgeous, and the production is bang on the money.
Was disappointed when it stopped!
Complete brilliance.

Hell yeah Geir!
Way to rip the curtains down brother!
(I think I just saw my cat line-dancing in the corner).
This is great mix of old-school chops with new-school performance.
A very good wake-up call this morning.
Thanks man!
