Could It Be (Original by Rata-tat-tat)

[Rata-tat-tat]

I did this one for DIY fest... all done on the MBR in one rainy night. Started out as a 6-8 drum beat and then I added the geetars (Buzzy)... Fender Squire plugged straight into the MBR.

I'm not happy with the mix... I did it all on the MBR and am too tired to fix at the momment. Hope you enjoy this version!!!

If anyone wants to lay some lead on this feel free... I aint much of a geetar player....

Oh/// I'll be posting the drum track for this one in collabs.

Could It Be

Twilight turns the pages drifting round the sun
Wise men or fools turned traitors drifting on the run

Could it be the words they say
Could it be that on that day
Could it be the screams heard for miles
Could it be the sound of guns
Could it be the strength to run
Could it be the smell of blood in the night
Could it be the rising sun
Could it be that you're the one
Could it be a dream...  Could it be a dream

As I lay here in the sand Taking my last breath
The earth stands still around me
So I may have a closer look at my soul...  A closer look at my soul
And the souls... they lay dead around me

Could it be???... Oh Could it be???
The Earth stood still for me... But it was just a dream.

As I look across the valley of rubble
I wander why???... What brought us here???... When will we ever learn???
As I gaze off into the distance... the distance between fellow man
I can't help but wonder if good will always prevail...
Goodbye fellow man.

Excellent creativeness Rata! Your vocals and phrasing is the standout here for me. I like the narration and singing combination. The drums rock bro!

Absolutely love this!!! Really fecking good, I'm going straight back in. Has an almost early Alice Cooper vibe to it (the first 5 or so Alice Cooper albums are under-rated classics). I'm thinking I'm gonna be breaking out the SC can...

RTT - loved the playfulness of the mix - distant vocals, and upfront and hard left panned guitars - sounds quite psychedelic. Great stuff.

No way... I get an SC can... I do believe this is a first for me unless I missed something... I think maybe your right ORH I should probably leave it alone. Listened back with fresh ears... I'm still amazed at what the MBR can do. I was up late working on this one and even reverted back to my old ways (Recorded the vox in my wifes truck out in the garage). Brought back some memories for sure. I did this one in the same fashion as some of you are doing with my drum tracks. This was a first for me starting with a drum track. I usually start with a hook or melody and work around that. This actually seems a little easier... I'm not so stressed about accents and fills being placed accordingly.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Nice to feel ur music is appreciated.
