Title: "Common Ground" (Original) Geir & ORH
Post by: Geir on June 02, 2009, 08:20:34 AM
Sometimes collaborations take some strange turns that really ends up in the right place ..

This is still a work in progress but Osckilo and ORH have twisted my arm so here's what's done so far.

I did the guitarwork and ORH did the magic !!

Oooh... I love this. Your playing and tone is magnificent, Geir. Real quality. And orh has a voice that fits inside this folky celtic kinda vibe like a very comfortable glove. Lovely words and sentiments too.

I listened to this on some cheapo pc speakers earlier, and then had another go on some isolation headphones when I had time to sit back for a second - Absolute ear candy without question!!!

Your guitar parts are fresh and exciting, Geir and the finish work had to have taken a lot of time and effort. The results - Magic!!

ORH, I'm impressed again - using your voice as an instrument ain't easy, and you get them to nestle in this tune quite nicely - Not sure if it's possible to weld vox to the music, but if it is you did it here!

Glad this one wasn't held back!

Everything fits so nicely... the guitars and vocal interpretation.  Fine writing and playing, both of you.

Great song and collab guys!!  Had to listen again!!  Terrific job!!

We are the people - we come together on common ground - we have more in common then what appears...these lyrics says it all!!

Geir-man you are a viking!! - hey you know Yngwie does a song called "I Am a Vikiing" - maybe we can collaborate on that or something like that sometime...? 

Of course I think ORH is a viking too - or I should say a Sir William Wallace Higgins - hero!!

I think the Yngwie Stuff is a bit out of my league, but I'll have a listen if I can find it in my collection. What album was it on?

Agreed, much better.

I was thinking you could have used something other than an arm, but it wouldn't have been postable...
