"No Turning Back" w/Lurker

[Blooby]

Not sure what we've got here. John came over, and I was heck-bent on creating a song from the ground up. We had the bed track down quickly after I jammed on the main riff and John sequestered himself and mentally flagellated until lyrics poured forth. Never pretty but effective.

But I digress...

John then dashed off his BG vocals pretty quickly, and I threw down a quick solo, but then I got all freaky about the mix. Totally insecure about drum levels (and other merriment), but this is what we have for now. Oddball but I like it.

No Turning Back

It's cold I'm tired
Wondering if I'll make it to the end of this road
I'm so uninspired
I'm ready to quit but there's just too far to go

Hoping that the place I reach Is better than the one I left
Following a promise that I can't afford to second guess

There's no spare tire
What I'm running on now has got to get me through
I'm down to bare wires
There's not enough left to even blow a fuse

Trying to find the home that I heard about in my dreams
Hoping when I reach it my trust will be redeemed

Down this road there'll be no turning back
      (Cold and tired      Uninspired)
Down this road there'll be no turning back
      (No spare tire      Dread the fire)
Down this road there'll be no turning back
      (End of the road   Too far to go)
Going this way to avoid a beaten track
      (In my dreams      Be redeemed)

What I can't carry has all been left behind
Hopefully soon I'll know whether that includes my mind

I'm on the pyre
Wood stacked neatly and the tinder placed
I dread the fire
If this journey goes wrong flames will be my fate

Gotta keep moving or my feet'll settle in the mire
      (Cold and tired      Uninspired)
Driven away from what my heart had once desired
      (No spare tire      Dread the fire)
Taking this way to avoid a beaten track
      (End of the road   Too far to go)
Where I'm going now there'll be no turning back
      (In my dreams      Be redeemed)

On my walk into the village to get croissants and pain aux raisins for breakfast for the household, listening to my songcrafters buddies. Was struck by the great sounding guitars - which amp and pedal did you use for this - this sounds great. Lurkers vocals are always sublime - loved the backing vox - super stuff. Drums/mix seemed to be okay to me, the bass was a little indistinct, but that could be the earbuds and listening on the blackberry outside.
Great stuff gents, more please.

Fantastic song gents!! This is so well written and arranged.

Loved the "silent" spots on the chorus. The widely panned backing vocals sound very good and catchy!

I'm speechless! This goes onto my mp3-player now.

You guys are awesome. That was my first thought so I figured I would just leave it at that! Real music (And not oddball to me at all) that can just be played by the listener and fully enjoyed. Hell yeah!

Really enjoyed that. I can also hear the free connection. The mix is excellent and well balanced to my ears. Great work.
