so one more drink before the road (new version)

Oldrottenhead · February 10, 2014, 04:11:49 PM

spent a lot of time on the drum track, using loops. but then everything from the original version https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=20411.0 the minimalist in me simplified. especially the bass line, which was pretty simple to begin with. so my original plan to make this a bigger production, i think ended up a bit more understated.

i'm a believer
if the truth be told
deep in every man
there lays a good soul
sometimes it's clear to see
sometimes it's hard to find
so one more drink
before the road
let's raise our glasses
high
i'll drink to you
if you'll drink to me
before we say
goodbye
i'm a believer
if the truth be told
what goes around
comes around
sometimes i don't know what i should do
sometimes it's just so obvious
so one more drink
before the road
let's raise our glasses
high
i'll drink to you
if you'll drink to me
before we say
goodbye
i'm a believer
if the truth be told
deep in every man
there lays a good soul
sometimes it's clear to see
sometimes it's hard to find
so one more drink
before the road
let's raise our glasses
high
i'll drink to you
if you'll drink to me
before we say
goodbye

So sweet and mellow... Really fine job all around! Loved the clear guitar tone, too.

Listened to the first version, too. Juno gives a warm flavor to this...

Nice James.
I defo prefer it when you put more into your songs like this.
It's just a personal thing for me but you bring out the true songcrafter in your self when you sculpt these tunes.
It's a braw from me mate.
Keep them coming.

This is terrific, James - love the drums, bass, guitars, and the icy Juno. Great vocals as always, and the production is really special. I'm going to go drink to you right now.
