"Sleeping beauty" a Geir & Jarle original

[Geir]

This song did take some time to make. We started on it the last time we were at my cabin, and this weekend we finished it when Jarle visited me for a weekend of music.

I can't even remember all the instruments we used, but there some guitars, 5-6 different synth/keyboard-apps, bass and drums.

Recorded and mixed on BR800 with Røde-NT1a mic for vocals

Sleeping beauty

w/m: Geir&Jarle
Jarle: Roland drums, iGrand piano, thumbjam synth, vocals
Geir: MiM Tele, Morgan acoustic, Nave/Gallileo/iGrand/M3000 keys, Ibanez bass, vocals
Vocals recorded with Røde mic
Everything recorded mixed and mastered on BR800 (with an intermediate splicing of part 1&2 in Audacity)

Strong man, I can feel your pain
strong man, when will you lift that weight away
The night becomes day and the day becomes nights
The world will wait and welcome you back

Asleep in a shaded room
the sunlight hurts his eyes
the walls of thorns are growing higher
nothing to be done
a kiss of a princess will not wake him
the knights in white can't help
the walls of thorns are growing higher
nothing to be done

the walls of thorns are growing higher
the walls of thorns are growing higher
nothing to be done
nothing to be done

Dear lord.........this is the motherload.......from the motherland........straight into the mouths of the impressionable youth of tomorrow.......I shall dine on this beauty for many nights.....well done boys.......well done

I am in awe.........

[Nelson]

An absolute stunner guys.  I thought I was going to get some Queen, then the acoustic come in and I'm thinking Bon Jovi but you change again. So I stopped thinking and set back and enjoyed.

Killer drums and the axe work is over top as are those out of controls vocals.


My MIND IS OFFICIALLY BLOWN.  

A WEEKEND WELL SPENT, INDEED.

[Redler]

So sweet by talented brothers!! This is epic and progtastic! Well written and performed! Sounds great via phones - loved the big production!

[Hook]

Outstanding!!!!It was as if I was meandering though both of your neural synopsis's. Stopping to delve in various cortexes & lobes, finding brilliance...and shiny things.
Rock On!

Blueberry - dear lord indeed.
That cabin is a cabin of inspiration. Definitely hearing early Yes, some Genisis, some Jethro Tull awesome guts. I love the details/changes and everything - who thought this was possible in a home studio environment. Crazy complexity and ideas gushing forth. Friggin AWESOME. I love prog, but wouldn't know where to start to do something like this, I am in AWE. You guys have had a vision to produce this. Take a massive bow.
WOW.

[Pine]

Awesome intro....no idea where it was gonna go..but those drones always build suspense

Finally it erupts...and the changes begin to unfold...

What a GREAT progressive rocker you guys! I'm sure it took a ton of time and effort...but time well spent in my book!

You've got it all covered here...cool dynamics, fine musicianship..solid vocals...ACE!!

Bravo!!!
