Down Down (my memory fades) - andy casson

[andy casson]

So enough of the happy songs, a song about an old/retired/faded actor looking back while standing on an empty stage. Big emotions going on in this one, especially the last minte or so, also abandoned a big solo in favour of some vocal waxing. Hope you like
Enjoy  

Down Down (my memory fades)
Andy Casson
16th February 2013

Now this curtain has fallen
I look around this empty stage
For a memory that stays
All my ghosts are calling
One by one they fell away
And my memory it fades....down down

Down, down.. it slowly slips away
Down, down.. puts my memory in shade

Silence sits in the stalls and
The curtain call won't come again
No matter what they say
Shadows play in the awnings
All these dreams have slipped away
And my memory it fades....down down

bit of a video below... not me though...

I love this!!!   (And I'm the first to comment!!! yes!)

Great original song, excellent job on production and mixes, the vocals are outstanding

Congratulation for this great tune

[Vaisvil]

Love your voice in this and the distorted guitar is just right!

[Bluesberry]

Holy moly this is deep stuff.  Grabs me hard.  I love the big epic feeling here.  Really good song, sung really good, with a really good guitar moving there........did I say really good yet?  Reminds me of late 70's era Jethro Tull (Stormwatch era), the vocal perhaps.

[Redler]

Very dark, but I love it!! The backing vocals are just great! Nice job all around!

This is top shelf creative stuff Andy...dark for sure...but big time powerful and packed with emotion. Super mixing and production and your vocals are ace. I would like to have heard what you had in mind for a guitar solo at the end as opposed to the vocal "waxing". ...i bet it would have been a dramatic powerhouse to match the rest of the song.
High marks for this one!

Wow another amazing offering from you Andy. This is one hell of a song and you had me from the beginning to end.

The vocals and guitars do it for me but it`s the whole production of course. Cool Vid too!!! Nice !! More!!
