another new one, the usual story tim(greeny) created the tune, jim(orh) wrote and sang the vox, mike(flash harry) iced the cake with sublime bass as per usual, voila.

the lyric to this one was inspired by a text i got from tim along the lines of shit day at work but it'll soon be the weekend. this one was done pretty quickly and i wanted to redo vox, bit of sinus probs yesterday and at 1.47 you can hear my dog trying to get in the kitchen, but the bass is on it now, so this looks like the finished article, but if you know us we might tweak it lol.

Hey Hey - Liked this one. I'm a fan of your higher register ORH - sounds great. Tight and crisp guitar and bass playing Greeny & Flash!!

Awesome - bravo!!

Later,

Mark

Sounds good to me!
It don't need no tweaking....
Guitars sound Great!
Bass is beautiful, and the lyrics are sung nicely.
Why re-do it?
You guys have got a magical combo going there.

I like this one. When I got the guitar track from Tim I tried to put some bass to it and failed. ORH's melody gelled it for me and then I could do it. It took about 30 minutes noodling and then about 10 takes to get it right. I videoed the evidence for ORH to do his vidiwizardry with it. Watch this space!

Cool 

I thought it's time to catch up with the listening so I don't waste the weekend's recording time!

I came in here first because I've got a song called Home from '96 or '97 that I'm thinking of recording - luckily we got completely different subject matter, style, and, er, everything... 

The only thing in common is I just realised how emotive the word "home" is when used in a song. First listen it just washed over me - lovely backdrop of guitars, and that bass is perfect (I know exactly what you mean Flash, about not being able to come up with a bass part until there's something there sometimes).

But then second listen I started paying attention to meaning, and that "home..." creates the shivers down the neck that singing "home..." on mine used to cause me (and I could see the audience "longing" as well if I got it right...). That word is really powerful.

And like osckilo says - you've got an amazing range of voices, orh, it's through listening to your tracks that I've finally managed to break out of trying to consistently "sound like me" on recordings - I'm not sure how I ended up there, I think it's a hangover from trying to get famous many years ago - the singer "ought to have a recognisable identity" kinda thing - but when I'm just messing around, I have all sorts of voices I can use. Maybe if I'd used them back then I'd have actually ended up with an identity!! 


On the collaboration front - I must admit I'm still amazed at how you guys manage to consistently hit the mark creating songs together in this long-distance manner. 

Fine track guys - listened to it three times now...

(I'm not gonna listen to many if I spend this much time on each, am I?!!)

But then second listen I started paying attention to meaning, and that "home..."

there are words that mean so much, words like home, durty, sometimes, perhaps and whit     ,
