Title: Angela (an original)
Post by: BossMicroBRew on April 20, 2009, 11:33:18 AM
This song is like the ex-girlfriend that won't go away. I've been tinkering with the music FOREVER and finally wrote and recorded the vox last week. It comes in many different versions and this is the version in its most recent form. The BR drum track I spliced together a few months ago. I had to degrade the mp3 a little to fit it all on here. Hope you enjoy!!

Angela
Music and lyrics by Andrew Clem

This must have just posted after I headed out the door - would have been nice to drive down the road with this.  ;D Polished and professional sounding - love the vox and background git. The lead shows your talent as well. Sweet, really sweet, man!!

Bloomin excellent! This just grabbed me by the throat from the first drum break. Drums are excellent, great programming, the whole thing is a killer. The guitar parts are great, rocky but with a nice bit of subtlety in they way the play off each other. Great solo as well. I definitely enjoyed, nothing I'd change about this. Altho just thought - some harmony vox would just push it to 11.....

This site just gets better and better!!!

Cheers,

Nigel

Now thats what we are talking about BMB.  Really super song, and what guitar playing, really great.  I am really glad to have listened to an original song of yours, it is killer.  How about another.

Thanks for the listen, everyone! :) Your music and words serve as my inspiration; keeping me neck-deep in the MicroBR. Took forever to get my crap in order to finally post this. Great to know toes were tapping and volume knobs were set on 11. Keep rockin'. AC

Wow, that kicks total ass (I must be impressed as I never say that).  Hook after hook in it.

It's great as it is, but I hear some simple, chugging bass (but maybe coming in a little late at :29).

Peace.

Real classic rock! Makes me want to drive very fast through a city at night! And that's one killer solo. Everything about this is mighty fine... vocals, guitar, bass, production. SUPERB.

It reminded me - lyrically - of 'Hot Blooded' by Foreigner, but in reverse, lol

Glad to see some cussing! Can't rock without a least a little of that, right?! Thanks, Blooby!

Funny you should mention that. A friend of mine and I wrote a parody of this song about 4 years ago...completely inappropriate for the forum, though, or any forum really.  :o :D So, just imagine for now. Thanks for tuning in!! I appreciate the listen.

This is great!

A recipe for producing a great rock song must have been followed.......

Ingredients:-
A massive handful of originality .......
A large cup of great lyrics and killer leads......
Three to four measures of catchiness.....
A good dash of sound song structure......

Cooked to perfection production wise!



That's one tasty Track.......... 8)

I love this song! It reminds me a little of Green Day. You got that Punk Rock feel with great lyrics on top!

I appreciate the listen and comment! Thank you! Green Day has new material out, by the way. I was kinda sorta going for the Punk Rock style too. I'm a huge fan of Eve6. If you listen to any of that, you'll probably notice their influence on this song.
