Clearly by Oldrottenhead (new mastered version)

[Oldrottenhead]

This one started here https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=26149.0 as a demo.

This version is an ever so slightly bigger production,tweaked the lyrics and structure from the demo version.

i created a drumtrack on the fly using drumjam on my ipad and recorded it to a stereo track on my br800. i then recorded two separate mono tracks with my jasmine electro acoustic, then a mono bass track with my epiphnone sg bass, then a stereo track using my juno di, and finished it off with the lead vocal using my microbr as a mic. so in all 8 tracks so no bounces. mixed on headphones, might need a remix using my monitors tho.

oh the sun goes down
and the sky burns red
i'm talking to myself
trying not to forget
to take the washing from the line
before the night sets in
before the kids get home from school
put their dinner on
give them something good and warm
then take the dog for a walk
neath the stars at night
far from the cold street lights
so i can see clearly
sometimes i need to think out loud
sometimes i think i think too much
sometimes i just don't realise
it's all right there before my eyes
i need to clear my head
before i go to bed
so i can see clearly
oh the sun goes down
and the sky burns red
i wrap my arms around you
and i thank my lucky stars
for everything i have
and i see clearly

Great lyrics, making the everyday occurance into something special / important. Great stuff. Carried along beautifully with that lovely gentle progression. Perfect guitar sound.

This has a really nice vibe and a great melody working off the backing. Good lyrics about a routine day in the life and making it a wonderful thing. Great song about clearing our heads after a long day and regaining focus.

Sounds good to me old ears.......its for a real chugging groove on the guitars, which really moves it along nicely.

[Redler]

I'm loving both versions! Great song!
