Title: Easy Tiger - Tworegs and Chapperz original
Post by: chapperz66 on October 03, 2020, 08:46:40 AM
This one is a bit wild.  The Regs excelled themselves on this.  Another one that took a bit of mixing but we like it.  Trevor wrote the lyrics and delivered the vocal impeccably.  I knocked up the music using various soft and hardware synths together with a strat through an axefx2.  Mixed and mastered in Studio One 4 pro.

Enjoy!  (BTW - does anyone know how to put lyrics in those nifty box things?)

Paul

Easy Tiger

Hey! What is it I do?
Hey! What is it i  do?
Have I busted, all of your dreams
Have you found  a crack in the seam
Tell me, Tell what did i do?
Tell me, Tell what did yi do?
Did you dodge the bullets from the gun
Did you run backwards run run run

Easy Tiger


Angles with dirty faces ran up to the mirror to  say
I'm chasing the light, I'm pushing it away
Somebody said they were holding tight onto a dream
With hard pull they pulled the string real tight
And plunged the moon right out of the sky

Easy Tiger

Ive had a Tiger by the tail

Ive had a Tiger by it's tail



It was an innocent dream inside my mind, I couldn't hear what you said I was just doing time, I closed my eyes but I couldn't see nothing at all I didn't know what it was I was meant to do

Easy Tiger

it was on a string, I pulled tight and the moon came down
Now there's no stars their alone, I have nothing to wish upon
I don't know what to dream I don't know
What to dream anymore
I don't know 
is there deadwood in the forest or am I alone

Easy Tiger

I got a Tiger by the tail
I got a Tiger by the tail
I got a Tiger by the tail

Easy Tiger

I have a dream
I closed my eyes
But I can  not see
I wrestle with me

Easy Tiger

Thanks Hilary.  I've never noticed the green L button before.  Then again I've only been posting songs for 11 years!  How embarrassing.   ;)

Such a wide diversity of music on this site. Great sinister element to this track and so well constructed/arranged. Excellent guitar work and excellent vocals by Trev. Stellar collaboration guys; well done.

Super stuff... knew this was gonna be good. Such a cool mix of styles here. Very creative, a bit proggy, a bit weird, but very listenable. Paul, great work on the song structure and Trevor nailed this... the vocal style is bang on for this.

Oh indeed the Regs were on fire here! Love the combination of the vocals, lyrics and riffs here. A really powerful platform for Reg to build from, and he does it so well. Lovely vocal phrasing that fits the music so well and a su[erb vocal performance. Very well recorded and mixed, and I love the dual guitar lead at around 3:10, just fab!!!!

You two definitely have a tiger in your tank..... ;)

This is so creative Paul and Regs! It's got some cool proggy sections and the guitar harmonies are perfectly executed Paul. Great lyric Regs and the sinister vocal style fits the song like a glove. Well done on both of your parts!

In the interests of full disclosure,  the harmony guitar part was played once through a pitch shifter, with a fairly aggressive gate to cut the notes off abruptly.

This is crazy!  Different.  Doesn't fit into any pigeon hole.  Has it's own sound.
Very entertaining.  You guys have a very unique chemistry here.
