Awhile back I had approached Robert C about seeing if a new song I had done was suitable for lyrics. He liked the track and founs some lyrics that were appropriate. I had already named the song but he has some lyrics that he adjusted and they fit right in. We then asked Greg Johnson if he was up for singing it and he graciously agreed to sing the song.

Robert rearranged the song so it was more appropriate for lyrics. We also changed the key to be more suitable for Gregs vocal range.


I thought you might like to hear the original instrumental.

Scott I am a guitar instrumental kind of guy, but I loved both those versions.

Although you do get nice tones from your guitars, I do envy you as I am still fighting the tone war with mine.

Good playing.

Scott,

Interesting to compare the guitar sound on the two versions.There`s seems to be a bit more sustain on this one and ( I`m not famliar with the lingo ) notes have more twang.It fills the speakers more than on your original demo.
Its a very good melody ( next to "Unknown" my favourite of yours).
A calming, uplifting experience.

Robert

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Scott, I grew up during the peak of the instrumental wave during the fifties and sixties. I am pretty sure I heard echoes of the Ventures or the Shadows, in the distance. Wonderful on both versions.

Really well done, Scott smile The title of this track certainly lends merit to the tune. It has a magical, sparkly quality to it. It is very floaty and dreamy - the kind of tune that is easy to close your eyes and get lost to.

You did a great job on this - thanks for sharing!

WOW, your chops and that sweet sounding PRS are a great combination! I am green with envy!

The vocal version is also extremely well done. You all should be very proud of these. Robert C, you wrote some fantastic lyrics that Greg sang perfectly.

I can't decide which version I like better!

Thanks for checking out the song. Finding a cool tone for a particular song can be as difficult as discovering the notes for the melody. But lots of fun playing with all the dials :-)
I must say I love the tone of your guitar on the songs you have been submitting..

Yes this guitar is a different sounding guitar compared to the Gretsch I used on the first submission. This one the is a bit darker and uses the effects pedals a little differently. Funny the amps and pedals are set exactly the same as the first song..

Wow! Both versions are terrific! I slightly favor the vocal version as I'm such a huge fan of Greg's voice. But the guitar work and the lyric are stellar. Tip of the hat and kudos to everyone.

Well done overall,
the reverb on the solo guitar is very tastefully done.

Very nice Scott, certainly brings to mind the golden age of guitar driven instrumentals, Hank Marvin comes to mind.

PRS sounds sweet!
