Hi folks,

Here is my new one.

Recorded via the BR800 onto Sonar X3.

Guitars - Fender Stratocaster; Gibson Les Paul Traditional
Bass - Squier Jaguar
Drums - EZ Drummer 2
Voices - all me
Everything else - Sonar soft synths and samples

BTW I had to compress the file a lot to fit it on Songcrafters. Hopefully it doesn't change it too much.

cheers,

Ian

The tracks of your father

Words and music by Ian Robertson 23 January 2015

Verse
Deep in the forest so hot and green
Watched and smelt by things unseen
Down in the brambles are the snakes and wasps
Long grass hides the devils and dogs

Chorus
Keep your head, don't drop behind
The tracks of your father will be hard to find
Peace will come when you reach your door
But the forest wants you more

Verse
Keep to the path, don't wander or roam
Who knows what will follow you home
High in the skies the ravens calls
To the bones of their brothers on the forest floor

Chorus

Verse
You can't worry about what will catch you there
Your mind will wander to dread and fear
To all the times of a young life lost
To the home of the forest dwellers' ghosts

Chorus x 2

I have been listening to the Drones a lot lately.

I was trying to get their feel into my song.

You might think that there's nothing similar between their song and mine - but I know what I mean
