Other Days - a tworegs chapperz song

[chapperz66]

The regs has written this beautiful ballad which was my very great pleasure to add a few tracks to.

I played a few recently bought Spitfire Audio libraries on this one including a symphonic organ, harmonium and an accordion.  Electric guitar was a Fender strat through an axefx2. and the piano was from Arturia vcollection.  I have been practicing my piano a lot and fortunately the key suited my untrained ability.

Trevor's acoustic guitar from his demo was so good and couldn't be improved on so it made the final mix.

Mp3 added.  I originally uploaded to Soundcloud at a higher resolution and it is still available to listen to there, should anyone be interested.

Other Days
I can argue with you, till I'm blue in the face man
Or I can conversate with you, like your a friend
I tell you I'm lost, on this lonely road of life
There ain't no sign to show the way
This ain't no monopoly game there's no money passing go
Your on your own, most of the way
somedays that pass are so long
Somedays you don't want to be left  alone
Somedays this life doesn't feel your own
And then other days
Other days
Life is a joy


I want to get back to those days where i was care free and tall
Where I didn't feel like, I was better curled into a ball
I want to be able to float out into my dreams, above the clouds and back into the blue
I want to feel free like I did before the storm
Like I did before the dark clouds enveloped me 
Before it all came caving in,before life got under my skin
I suppose back in those days where I felt like me
When life flowed in a different way
When a day was just another day
Life flowed in that  different way
But those were different days
Those other days
When life was a joy

But those were other days
When life was a joy

Solo

I can argue with you, till I'm blue in the face
Or I can conversate with you, like your a friend
I've told you I'm lost on this lonely road
Cause there ain't no signs showing the way
I know this ain't no monopoly game that we play,
I know there's nothing here  for passing go
I know I'm on my own for most of the way
But somedays I don't want to be on my own
Somedays
Those other days
I want to feel joy when I'm on my own

Just listened to the song, Paul and enjoyed very much. Great vocal from Trev and excellent instrumentation from yourself. Love that singing guitar solo at about 2.55 and some cool piano work too.

[Redler]

Just amazing job, guys! Fine songwriting and singing by Trev.

Paul, the additions by you works so well.

I'm on my second listening...

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

That's some fine piano work Paul. The vocals from trev are brilliant, this sounds like a meatloaf track..the music lyrics and production is so good. Awesome.

Classic. Rock. Ballad.
That's what we're being served here by two cool guys with even greater hairdos! Wonderful composition, great vocals. There's even a hint of mischief to it. Great use of Spitfire Audio Labs libraries. Those are certainly a thing of a beauty. And then the guitar playing. So immaculate and in its place. With just the right amount of notes and nothing wasted. That piano playing is also a thing of a beauty!

Well done! Superb stuff. Made my morning.

[Rene Asologuitar]

Very emotional singing.
I love the way your vocals float above the mix, just the way I like.
This is an amazingly beautiful creation, lyrics and all.
Well done, gents!!!
Thanks for this gem!

I am glad to hear this spectacular track... I need to spend much more time in your library Paul... you did all the great stuff last year with Pipes and Trevor... they are such wonderful pieces... I must have missed this one when I was gone last summer... but I am glad you chose this.  It's an amazing track.
Trevor's lyrics and vocals are so amazing...
all the instruments you added are special and beautiful...

as good as these are though Paul I especially dig your guitar playing...
