First it was a great pleasure doing this with Kenny. He took a song that has turned into one of my favorites and wrote killer lyrics to it and awesome vox. He added some piano and keys and I dropped in some different guitars.

Would have loved to have the wav files so I could mix this better. Every time I would try to bring Kenny's voice up, I would lose other parts.

I went for the "BIG" sound here.

Kenny hope you and the rest like it!

Lyrics:

THOUGHTS
.....................

Had one more chance to get this right
You put it straight switched on the light
Inside my head it was so dark
You call the shots I'm listening
To all you have is this a dream?
If that's the case then I'm not waking up.

And you believed in me
And I believe in you
You throw me so far out there
I spin right back
Just like a boomerang yeh
I'm flying in to view
I'm head for your hand now
Don't let go
I might just disappear .

And what you have you can't buy
Your loves a gift and I will try
To give my all
My faith and love to you.

I'm a believer
Cause you believe in me
You throw me so far out there
I spin right back
Just like a boomerang yeh
I'm flying into view
Grab me and don't let go
I might just disappear .

Oh yeah, this is great. But you're right it could do with a better mix.

1st of all it was a pleasure to work with greg on this,when I finished my shift late last night I listened to the track and felt the original mix I sent him got lost in the changeover after he added his excellent guitar runs so I asked him to send me the guitar runs and I re done it today,the atmoshphere of the song and performance feel like they are back.
Cheers greg as always with any collab I have done on here it was a pleasure.

Superior craftsmanship here. Every aspect of this song is precisely where it belongs. A sweet groove.

Vocals are seriously nice work.

Well done!

Oh yes that"s 1000% better!  I just kept loosing in the mix when I would try to bring you vocals out. Then again I could be messing it up lol. Still learning this sound stuff and DAW.

Working in DAW is like going from a polaroid instant camera to a SLR camera lol.

Kenny downloaded yours and replaced mine with it.at the top.

Always a pleasure to collaborate with everyone on Soundcrafters.

Wow!  Nice job guys.  I couldn't get the second mix to go past 10 seconds but the first mix sound really good to me.  The vocals reminded me a lot of David Bowie.

Thanks for sharing.
