General Discussion / Re: wildfire evacuations
Last post by Farrell Jackson - January 24, 2025, 06:24:52 AMI feel for you and all the people in Southern California that have been impacted by these life changing fires. I'm glad you and yours are safe for the moment Des. The weather forecast shows some rain coming your way this weekend which should help getting the fires under control. As one Cali Bro to another stay as safe as you can Des and family.

to get to hear music like this from home recording people is amazing.
yes.. it has the great elements of all those wonderful 70's pop rock tunes.. I agree the progression is great..
the guitars sound amazing and the bass work is perfect. This could be an Alan Parsons tune... slide it right on an album.. thats a pretty high bar..
I like the organ mixed in low and you almost don't notice it until the end but it really does hold this together well..
you are a star! nice mix and production also...

General Discussion / wildfire evacuations
Last post by des0free - January 23, 2025, 08:19:30 PMThere are now some wildfires and evacuations in our county, although so far they are not reported to be a direct threat to us
But this afternoon, before one of the fires was stopped, my wife called me at home and told me to start packing our "important stuff".
There was not much time to think about it, so acting purely on instinct I started grabbing some of my "better" guitars, e.g. a few Fenders, while leaving cheaper ones, e.g. Squiers, and all my wife's stuff, behind. Hey, like I explained to her later, sometimes in dire situations we have to make snap judgment calls
in all seriousness it has been a bad situation for many

Original Songs / Holding Me Down by BerryPatch
Last post by BerryPatch - January 23, 2025, 06:19:49 PMAs a little New Year's resolution I'm gonna try to see if I can make at least one original song per month throughout the year. I don't know how long that will hold but we'll see 
This is a song I forgot about until started playing randomly about a month ago while trying to record something else. I'm glad I finally got around to finishing it, the progression is pretty nice. It came together fairly quickly but I just had to iron out the kinks
Enjoy...

I want to go but I can never give in,
This conversation ends as sure as the day rushes in,
It's holding me down to the end
I want to know but I never be sure,
Every conclusion only leads another open door,
I just can't believe anymore
Can you show me
Just what it means to leave it all behind
Is it easy?
To feel it still though it's all a waste of time
If I were to look into your eyes
Got no direction and I'm sick of trying to pretend,
It's just a game till you're back through the cycle again,
And it's holding me down to the end
Can you show me
Just what it means to leave it all behind
Is it easy?
To feel it still though it's all a waste of time
If I were to look into your eyes
I want to go but I can never give in,
