Title: New Horizon - Mike_S and Kenny Mac Colab
Post by: Mike_S on December 22, 2022, 03:52:12 PM
This one has a bit of a story behind it. So I had this tune I was pretty happy with but it was something that I thought would suit Kenny Mac more than me so I contacted him and he came up with a belter of a vocal and lyric and some scorching lead too. Kenny had a few technical issues and computer crashes and ended up having to record his parts twice. Kenny I take my hat off... you did a wonderful job... superb

Mike

Something strange
Something new
Something changing
For me and you


There's a new horizon
Pulling into view
Are we for ever
Or are we both fools

There's a few surprises
And it feels so new
Are we here forever
Or are we both fools

Are those signs
That we both feel
False and just a dream
Or are they real?

We can't go back
This door won't close
Feelings run away
Out of controlle .
Burning through our hearts
Burning through our souls


There's a new horizon
Pulling into view
Are we here for ever

loving this one men!  That SY-1 is really sounding great with you behind it Mike... a real wizard pulling on the strings of that guitar... as much as I have really enjoyed your guitar playing and arrangements this adds another great element.
KenMc is in fine form here again... and as great as are the vocals so is the lead...funny it almost sounds like a horn a touch here in my headphones...
way cool... it's a stunner.... like a ray gun

It's like The Fixx and David Bowie had a baby (perhaps with a sperm donation from The Edge). I just love the textures here, and the vocal has so many subtleties in the phrasing. Super impressive.

A great collab. Mike and Kenny. I hear a lot of influences in this song but in the end it's all Mike and Kenny doing what they love. Great guitars and vocals...a very catchy song, I dig it!

I concur. This is a good collab. I'm especially digging those leads. That is a good backer to play and sing to and the melody, lyric and guitars all work great.
