Sliding Doors (with vocals) By Flash Harry and Oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

Flash is off home, we did this as an instrumental today, i remixed it a little bringing Mike's lead down in the mix to allow space for vocals.Then brought some lead parts back up for solos. My Rode NT1A was refusing to work, i think it got rained on, hopefully it can be dried out. So i had to use a USB Mic which is a bit less user friendly, but you use the tools you got eh?

Anyway it is what it is.

Life's Tapestry
Weaves intricate patterns
Friendly whispers
Subtle Shadows
Fluid moments
Through Sliding doors

In Harmony In unison
Through sliding doors
Open minds Open hearts
Let's dance Let's play

Brush strokes of emotion
Both stark and faint
In an abstract dance
To an unknown symphony
Weird connections
Through sliding doors

Psychic melodies
As if by chance
From thin air
To reality
Into existence
Through sliding doors

[Pete C]

very cool !

[Zoltan]

You're not a tool when you're using the tools you have! A phrase no one wanted to hear, or expected, but you're all welcome!

I think the vocals sound fine. In fact there's an layer of upfront grittiness to them that makes them sound better than usual. Maybe less produced sounding, but more real. Less up tight in a way. More rocking.

The song itself is very cool. It really grabbed me from the get go. I'd go as far as to say that this is one of the best Old Rot Hed and Flash Harry songs i've heard.

Re: Sliding Doors. Have you seen that movie with Gwyneth Paltrow? Who would have known what a cook(y) woman she'd become! Maybe it all happened because of the Sliding Doors.

Final shout out to Rode that didn't rode it out, but called it quits when it was time to shine!

[Jarle]

This is a great tune with or without vocals.

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

Great song, music and lyrics. The vocals do have a bit of a Bowie vibe I agree.

[hardlock]

Wow, the instrumental was great and now this. Very good song(s)!

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Yeah nice work, the vocal works very well in my opinion. Excellent collaboration.    Willie
