Taking Me All The Way

[danthecoat]

This song was wrote many years ago originally on a 12 string guitar with a friend of mine. It became probably my most important song over the years for one reason or another. I recorded this on a fostex 8 track a few years later and i remember i had to record the lead guitar in small parts and it was painstaking to do and took ages. The song never changed much from when it was first wrote a few changes to the lyrics and the odd chord here and there and i added an instrumental break but other than that not much.

This song was totally different to anything i was writing around that time and since but it seemed to come from nowhere just sitting there with a mate strumming and taking turns to sing a verse. I have never wrote that way before or since which is probably why its so different.

I can hear some Pink Floyd influence here (a good thing) and you've put this song together well. Some good guitar and fine vox also. The drums are cool are they real? They sound real which is a big plus to my ears. Nicely done!

Thanks Farrell,

The drums are midi and were done on a very Boss drum machine one you could program if you had a spare 3 or 4 days and didn't mind losing the whole lot once or twice 

A few people have mentioned the Pink floyd vibe but it wasn't intentional but ill take that

Oh Wow - this is excellent.  Like Farrell, I can hear some Floyd infuence in here.


It's a great rounded track, loads of layers, I like the hramonics form time to time - niec touch, really nicely put together,


It may be  worth getting a bit of freeware if you haven't alresdy got it called Audacity, you can use it to trim all the lead-in from your tracks which saves space and measn that your tracks start as soon as you hit play.

You can find it here: http://web.audacityteam.org/, you will need the Lame MP3 encoder too. The info for that is here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#lame

I do have a more recent song called A kiss in time on here. Heres the link....


I am writing and recording new stuff as we speak as well as remastering tracks my old band stuff. Its a very exciting but busy time for me at the moment

This is right up my street. Excellent songwriting & performance - can also hear a Floyd influence, but it's just a cool, classic vibe that flows along beautifully. That lead part at the outro is fantastic.

My kind of music.
