Wayward Son... SE and Mike_S collaboration

[Mike_S]

Hi Guys...

This is a collaboration between myself and SE (John).

A few details... John sent me the initial track which had a baseline, a couple of guitar tracks and drums down. I added a couple more guitar tracks and vocals/lyrics. I gave it the title Wayward Son as I thought the track had a bit of an edge to it that made me think along those lines!!

Anyway hope you guys like it...

It was written in the script, could be no other way
The day that he was born was, the day they made his grave
There was no hand to hold, no one to feel his touch
And the day he learned to talk, he was running out of luck

First touch of the gun,
There'd be no turning back,
Just a wayward son

His time was running out, his luck it couldn't hold
The ending to the story, was waiting to unfold
The ones that he had trusted, on those he did depend
Would leave him in the gutter, where it all would end

First touch of the gun,
No turning back,
Just a wayward son

And when it all was over, no one was there to see
No tears to fall upon, upon the bloody scene
The moment would come quickly, too quick for him to know
A swift and bloody end, a crushing, mighty blow

First touch of the gun,
No turning back,
Just a wayward son

Oh this sounds really great - very cool.

It all sounds just perfect and I like the 3 line chorus with the turn (is it called a turn?)

A fab collab!

[Kenneth]

Very fine guys, excellent.
Knopfler sounding vocals are lovely, music is brill, top class collab men!

[Ferryman_1957]

Very nice collab guys. I have to agree with Kenneth, the vox have a real Knopfler feel to them, which is a good thing in my book! They sound great and fit really well with the track. The lyrics fit the feel of the track well, overall it sounds really well rounded and very nicely put together.
