Title: Head to Tail
Post by: DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee on March 21, 2024, 01:38:55 PM
   Head to Tail

Driving along in my car
I know I'd never have got this far without you
Without you...without you
Destination, out there somewhere
Check in desk in the middle of nowhere
Bumper to bumper...bumper to bumper

HEAD TO TAIL...LIKE A SNAIL
WE ALL GO ROUND, AROUND AND ROUND
...ONCE AGAIN

So far...so good

Life was slow but never boring
Cometh the slow lane without a warning
One morning...one morning
And I've been driving like a loony
Better to get there later than never
Bumper to bumper...bumper to bumper

(CHORUS)
(INST)
(CHORUS)

Lyrics: Kallen@2024

Lovely lads, this was a lovely chill, almost "Americana maybe"? Lovely harmony vocals make this tune. Most satisfying late night listen. Cheers guys.

Three minutes and thirty-eight seconds of class, Darren. Everything spot on; production, Keith's Beatle-esque vocal and great instrumentation. I rarely listen to the radio anymore but if this kinda stuff was playing on it I'd be listening more.

Great 70s feel.  Takes me back to a better musical time.

Wonderful 70s pop! That sound is so thick and juicy.

I feel like floating away in a leaking waterbed...

The only folks on here that can get close to this sort of sound is maybe young Berry.

The singer on this is really special.  Reminds me so much of 70's pop stars playing on the radio I so often listened too... super good..

the music matches... man I feel lucky to hear all this great music on SC's... it is like having a secret radio station... i gotta be an alien...

so lucky...to hear you Darren and your friends... I stand and applaud.

That was a great listen! There are several styles entwined in this song like Fab rock, Americana, Country Rock, Pop rock, Classic rock and more. The vocal harmonies are lovely and the mix/production brings it all into view. Nice work guys!

I simply cannot believe how great this is.  Maybe one of the best I have ever heard on SC.  Seriously.  This is next level - this is - it should be a best selling hit.  It should fill clubs. I would pay $$$$ to see this band.  The vocals - absolutely amazing. Current singers whose songs get played on the radio should be embarrassed that they suck 1000x compared with this.  The accompaniment - pure class and talent and taste.  I get a back-in-time transport vibe, back to a better era of music.  Downloaded - permanently in my library on my phone.

This is a case study in what a chorus should do: Surprise the listener. "Like a snail" lifts unexpectedly, like a barber pumping the hydraulic pedal of the barber's chair with no warning. I couldn't wait to hear it again. And then it surprises again in the outro by not doing the same lift. Excellent song craft.

Those gang vocals reminded me of Beatle harmonies. Wow.

Such a well-crafted tune. Fine performances, arrangement, and production, and those glorious harmony vocals. Again, wow.

Cool delayed guitar bit in there.

Like others have said, a good mix of influences here, Beatles amongst them.

Great production and really good song.

Very marvellous. That chorus... wow. Love how it really opens up and soars at 1:30. What an exceptional piece of work. So accomplished!
