Some time ago Trevor added his original version of this song which really grabbed me. He agreed we could do another version to be included on our Box of Frogs album. It struck me as being almost a spiritual type of song and tried to make my instrumentation lead it that way. I eventually got the backing track done and sent it to the main man for his vocals. And what a vocal!
It has ended up being over 6 minutes long - not helped by the fact that I tried two different styles of guitar solo and then selfishly decided to keep them both - so rather than rip it at a really low bit rate to upload here I have put it on Soundcloud.
mp3 now added but soundcloud link left for those few who may be interested.

great listen paul and trevor very catchy number , nice work ....cheers tony cee
Excellent job by both of you! Great composition and performance. More please!
Pro quality songwriting and performance here. I'm getting Meatloaf vibes. Especially like the backing vocals and guitar solos. A minor quibble about the mix is that it is a bit treble heavy and that kind of exaggerates sibilance on the vocals. In fact, your "Try me" UFO cover came up next and definitely lacks that excess treble in comparison.
I have been finding lately that I always feel like I want to boost treble when mixing especially on my vocals, but then later often end up regretting it. I'm beginning to think all I might really need is the 80 Hz high pass switch on my AT4040 mic engaged to reduce boominess and no additional EQ during mixing, or maybe just a 100 Hz high pass. And forget the high shelf I used to always put!
Hi Chaps...
Super song construction. It has a calming, special feel about it. Super passion in the vocals..loving the rasping edge in the vox, it has great character and depth.
Super guitar solo's..glad you had 2 in there Paul..
Altogether splendid, splendid Indeed.
Thanks for a Great Topic

A beautiful song, folks! It's like glam gospel, if there ever was such a genre.
Would you add the lyrics to the top post?
