find your way. music by bodie lyrics and vox by oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

bodie (david sickler) mailed me the music , looking for me to add a lyric/vocal. took a bit of time for this one due to work commitments and the length of the song, its about parenting i think. my oldest daughter is soon to hit her teens, so not sure if song is autobiographical or prophetic lol. oh had to shrink it to 96kbps to get it on here.

heres the lyrics for the hard of hearing. joking is an early mix and i still need to nail the vox.

Find Your way.

Slow down baby
It'll never last
Burning up
Way too fast

Burned your bridges
Long ago
Nowhere left
For you to go

Open doors
Are closing fast
You need to get
That somewhere sharp

That's the way
That things just go
Don't wanna say
I told you so.


I'm starting to sound like my dad
His good advice just sounded bad
I had to make my own mistakes
To find out he was right

Just step back and let them fly
You gotta let them have their try
You have to make your own mistakes
To find your way in life
Find your way........................

Pushing limits
Crossing lines
Like there's no reason
There's no rhyme

Beg forgiveness
For your sins
Then you're off
The rails again

You play me
Like a violin
Dontcha know
You just can't win



That's the way
That things just go
Don't wanna say
I told you so.

I think we've all bin here before
It's all bin heard, it's all bin saw
Try and keep your cool
And be our rock amidst the storm

Just step back and let them fly
You gotta let them have their try
You have to make your own mistakes
To find your way in life
Find your way........................


I'll always be
Right here for you
No matter what
You say or do

My love
Is unconditional
Always was
and always will 

eye to eye
we might not meet
I'm sure we'll
Always disagree

That's the way
That things just go
Don't wanna say
I told you so.

So go out there and have a ball
I'm here to catch you if you fall
I know I don't look nervous
But inside I'm just a wreck

So I'll step back and let you fly
I know I gotta let you try
You have to make your own mistakes
To find your way in life

Find your way..............................

was this ALL done on the BR? Great song and supurb lyrics!

I am so jealous.

[Oldrottenhead]

bodie (david) has just purchased an mbr, but i think he did most of it on a daw. like cubase, tho i think he added the keyboards via the mbr. vocals where done with onboard mic fornylon setting. hoping to post a better/higher quality version at soundclick dont know if its gonna be posted at bunkbeds or nevermet or bodiemusic, i will let david make that call.

[Oldrottenhead]

hoping to have an update on this one soon.

Another one I have missed. Prefab Sprouty maybe.

Great tune, great arrangement and great lyrics. Nice one guys.

[Greeny]

Flipping hell. You could fill a stadium with this sound! Excellent work 

[Bluesberry]

oldrottenhead, you are a wizard.  How you can fit words/lyrics perfectly into a rather complex arrangement is simply stunning.  It sounds like you two guys worked on this together in one location, fitting ideas into each other.  Are you a Jedi or something (my 6 year old is really into Star Wars right now).  As for the music, stunning.  I really like the guitar solo at the end.  What a great sound to the guitar there (and the playing is outstanding).  I am continuously inspired by the brilliant music I hear on this site.

You're not the first to say it and I doubt you'll be the last. Listen to some of the stuff that ORH and Prive have done together, different continents, different hemispheres, same room. It's uncanny.

He would have been burned at the stake in earlier times.

you guys are gonna give me a big head, sorry to say there is no magic involved it just comes out, usually without much thought or effort, no sweating or brow furrowing involved, what i do need tho is good music to work with, then the words just flow, sometimes the lyric can be informed by the tunes title or in the case of the song "lost highway" it was inspired by the moniker of the musician lost highway. that was a while back and is worth checking out, one of my favourite collaborations.check it here http://microrecorders.org/community/collaborations/lost-highwaycbw-and-oldrottenhead-collaboration/0/
now what is magic, is hoopers playing and song production, farmjazz, blooby, prive, steve g and guitarrons musicianship, and of course flashharry and lespaulgolds compositions. but what is really inspiring is the wee box that makes it happen and www.microrecorders.org that brings us all together.

peace and love to you all and keep the tunes coming.

ps. if there is anyone i forgot to namecheck message me and i'll edit this post.
