The Fool on the Hill

[Vanncad]

Holy crap guys!

Talk about raising the bar! Alfstone - I think you just might be "the man". Is that you on the keys too?
This was fantastic!

Great vocal ORH. Really, really moving.
Damn!

Thanks, Vanncad! 

The piano part is NOT me playing, but I've built it from scratch using Band-in-a-Box.

I use this software since a very long time (its first versions in DOS...), and believe me, when you have learned well how to use it, you may obtain great arrangements.

The guitar, instead, is really me in person! 

Ciao!
Alfredo

[Vanncad]

Either way - that's a really good piece of music.

Well done!!

[drumbum]

nice, sounds like early genesis.. good stuff

[Greeny]

I really like where you've gone with this. It's a very inventive twist on the original that makes it much more interesting to listen to, IMO. Somehow more depth and gravity than the original. Fantastic instrumentation and production, and a very poignant vocal from James. I was right, ORH - this one suits you down to the ground! Alfstone  - you're showing us with every post that you have a very special gift for musical arrangements.

Just stunning !!

Yeah I hear the Gabriel too in the vox ... but it's still distinctively ORH and the music around that voice is just perfect.

FAB !!!

Yes (early) Genesis, thats the vibe I hear too.  Nice.

i tried to sing it like macca but was way too hard so i tried to channel peter gabriel it obviously shows.
no-one seems to have noticed alfredo was channeling joni mitchel.
