Title: Silence (someday we will be free) v2 andy casson
Post by: andy casson on July 01, 2012, 01:33:14 PM
Sunday musings after falling down the stairs and passing out....
It's too late now to record a big end vocal, may amend in the morning to include...if I can walk!

Recorded to Sonar via EMU1616, 1 Tel, 1 Les Paul, 1 Tanglewood 6 str, 1 Villager 12 str, 3 vocal tracks, Sonar drums & strings

v2 update - Closer to what I had in mind..... not sure it's there yet
new vocals, keyboard layers added (bell thing, synth, brass section), different drum kit & sequence
Enjoy

p.s. Bruno - 4 chords chap!

Silence (Someday...)
Written by Andy Casson July 2012

And as I search for this light
it turns cold through my soul
And as I pass from your sight
Shutters close, like sold oak
This silence calls to my needs
A passing thought, a lightening seed
She bids me stay and be still
Holds me close against the chill

And as I slip through these dreams
Forever caught in Summers fields
She's my beginning and my end
Heart and soul, until I mend

Someday we will be free....

Just perfect Mr C - sorry to hear about your fall, take care (at least no arms, wrists or fingers were broken, thank the Lord)

Hey buddy... This is one haunting tune. I gotta say your tunes are always amazing... No BS. Straight up rockin good stuff. Hope your feelin better... I also took a fall out in the great Alaskan wilderness... Sprained ankle and twisted knee... Been hobbling around for a week now. Seems like theses things take forever to heal. Maybe I'll write a song about it... LOL.

This is massive! An epic soundscape, and a towering performance to match the ambition. Love the way it builds and builds, and you've arranged everything perfectly. Big thumbs up!

I commented before I'd reached the end. And I was thinking "how's he going to get out of this then?"

... Perfect :)

(And I think it should probably be called "Someday" - but that's completely a matter of taste :D)

This builds up AC,creeps up , hooks you in and makes you sing it out loud on the morning dog walk in the woods until you see people .....then quieten down a bit ... .....

I am real sucker for a song that builds, and this really is top notch Andy.

It kind of reminded me a bit of Elbow, who are very good this sort of song with big rousing choruses.

The whole feel of it is just epic and I could almost hear this being played at a large venue/festival with the crowd going into a mass sing along with the "Some day we will be free" outro.

All this from 4 chords too..pretty inspiring stuff!
