I wrote & recorded the dulcimer part last week in the car, it has quite a bit of traffic noise. I thought about redoing it at home in a quite rooms but then decided not to, at least for now. I kinda think of the traffic as one of the 3 drones in the song. I did the vocals today (ps02 into the pocket pod for all 3 tracks) in my new 2011 Elantra, but sticking with GuerillaHook Studios.3 drones, the A string of the dulcimer, the low vocal (w/phaser & distortion from pocketpod) & the drone of traffic/life.
1 dulcimer (stereo)
1 lead vocal (reverb & delay)
1 harmony vocal (reverb & delay)
1 drone vocal (phaser & distortion)

Skies the limit
roads are so passe
As the crow flies
Gratification today

Convinced it's convenience                                                                                                                          that furthers the cause
Ulterior motives                                                                                                                                    disguised as laws

Why waste the space
Just out of reach
As the crow flies
All barriers breached

Connections never severed (Convinced it's convenience)                                                                                 now much more than a phone (that furthers the cause)
I'm not one to be (Ulterior motives disguised as laws )                                                                                conspiracy prone (idrone)
Ignore the outside                                                                                                                                      find comfort at home

I ain't tellin' you no lie

On that you can rely

Love the sound of the dulcimer.  Not even sure what one of those is to be honest.

Great vibe, and I like the life / traffic ambience.  Could almost be a Zep-fest original.

Love the harmonies on the vocals!

Sounds great : agree with Nick_ODH, "Could almost be a Zep-fest original"

Bravo!
