The Avenue To Dawn By Oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

I was messing about with GarageBand on my iPhone and had a wee thing going with some soft synths and strummed along with my electro acoustic and thought aye aye. I mixed the soft synths (which sound like guitar feedback swells)and transferred them to garageband in my macbook and plugged in my HB telecaster (still trying to figure out how best to record my acoustic) and this came out the other end.
It is what it is.

Did you ever wonder
Ever wonder why
Did you ever wander
Ever wander by
Down that lonely road
That lonely road we walk
Along the avenue
The avenue to dawn

Did you ever see
The world through others eyes
Did you feel their tears
That ran on down their face
And did you empathise
Imagine how they felt
And did you share their pain
And take some of the weight

Did you ever wonder
Ever wonder why
Did you ever wander
Ever wander by
Along the avenue
The avenue to dawn

It's so good ... it makes me think about Northern Sky by Nick Drake, that is to say one of the songs that I love the best. Out of scale good !!!

That must be what the strange clouds were this morning...
I melted into this one brother
Rock on!

Oh yeah,  a lovely cool track and great production. Those guitars sound so sweet and that synth sound works perfectly. Nice lyrics too.
