Here is a new song from Spirit Level. This song was born from an Instrumental I did awhile back called Unohoo. Unohoo came from a post in the Manitoba Music History Form. The Guess Who are a band from Manitoba and the two main songwriters in the band were Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings. In the forum they were discussing some shadyness in song writing credits and one of the Guess Who were referred to as Unohoo. Not to offend them as being from Manitoba we all love the Guess Who.. Painted Roads Lyrics Painted Roads it ain`t religion woke me from repose time to testify turn failure to prose my old world withers I`ll give it the slip under arches of branches where brush strokes are thick a bundle a bottle walking out of the night rainbow puddles on lanes of light lunatic keepers with lockdown frowns iced up opinions `bout what`s coming down pass me unnoticed in the emperors new clothes a mumbler in the mist rambling his ode a bundle a bottle walking out of the night rainbow puddles on lanes of light tumbledown learn to crawl shadows show when you stand tall all my colours corrode on painted roads know more than you see see more than you know unbroken hearts still turn to stone let my leave taking leave no traceable code paint your own way home frame it as you go a bundle a bottle walking out of the night rainbow puddles on lanes of light tumbledown learn to crawl shadows show when you stand tall all my colours corrode on painted roads © Robert Cordrey March 2021 The original song was developed with the BIAB Tracks ****** Song Summary ************* Title: UnoHoo File:paintedroads.SGU Key=Am , Tempo 110, Length (m:s)=3:49 No intro. 102 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 102.

Ray's bass sounds really good.
Robert's vocal is one his best.

Great job from all involved. The lyrics stand out, for me ... vintage Robert, this, along with his singing. The guitar playing is also excellent. A driven track, well produced, well written and well interpreted. A high-level job, well done by all. Sincerest congratulations.

Definitely your best to date IMHO, and I've liked everything you have done so far. I don't typically quote someone else's review, but floyd summed it up nicely I think: Scott & ray & Robert...

Fun listen, cool sound!  Sadly, SoundCloud cut off the tail end of your song, where the guitar sustain fades to reverb.

Another outstanding offering from you band. Really good listen. The instruments (especially that lead guitar) are well played. The mix is perfect. The vocals are great. The lyrics are top notch, especially this line that I love: "rainbow puddles on lanes of light"
Applause!

Thanks to all listeners and commenters!
A note on my part in this:
Sometimes Scott`s instrumentals spark my lyrical engine instantly-this one wasn`t like that. It sounded complete as is and I thought to pass... but that opening riff is so strong it was on unconscious repeat during an early morning walk and words to fit started.
As an experiment (and being a little lazy), I decided to continue composing "on location" as it were, so the lyrics, with a tweak here and there, are a rambling improv.
Robert

Especially liked the lyrical lead guitar, from the intro and on.
I kept trying to turn it into a apocalyptical piece. (Is that how
that's spelt?) Nice job, Spirit Level.

You guys have jumped over your own high bar with this, to us, somewhat stripped down SL sound.
A really cool tapestry with the lyric and fine performances by all on vocals, guitar and bass.
"it ain`t religion
woke me from repose
time to testify
turn failure to prose"
That'll grab you from the get go for an enjoyable SL journey.
Excellent!
J&B
PS, Ozone seems to be working quite well for you Scott!

Spirit Level,
Love that opening guitar riff . . . really cool verse melody. This, to me, has a really commercial sound . . . “radio ready” as they say, with a 90’s alt sound perhaps. Robert’s vocal sits so well in the mix here—the production is first, first rate. Boy, this is really good. Congrats on another great single, gents.
My very best to you all,
Deej

I remember going to a teen dance at the Riverheights community center and the Guess Who played there. Chad Allen had just left the band. Glad you liked the song.

Team, Saw this couple of days ago, but wanted to listen with clear head. Not to be polite, but actually try listening to it  First impression: I like it! There is no point of nit picking. It has a raw cut semi improvised feel, which polishes all rough spots like a file, yet has pretty unusual lines and hooks that grab without mercy. Definitely a success. Robert, nice vocals and phrasing! It is a bit different, but works really well with this particular tune. Ray, excellent playing. Done listening second time, bass still "walks" in my ears. Scott, cool atmospheric guitar, adds a different dimension to this tune! If there ever an album, this would make a great mid-list tune, to pivot remaining in any direction. Thank you for sharing! Misha.

A great deep-dive into classic rock territory with lyrics, vocal melody and guitar tone and licks. Solid driving rhythm and a clear mix. Hugely enjoyed.

Derochette
alias JaniJackFlash Thanks so much for the awesome comments. I am so glad you mention how well thought out the song was. Between Robert, Ray and myself there is quite a bit of back and forth communication. We pass mixes and suggestions back and forth to each other on pretty much a daily basis. It is quite amazing to hear the difference of the inital submission compared to the later submission. Glad you liked the song. Scott & Team,
This is excellent. Has a great Indie feel to it.
Loved it!
Bob Thanks Bob Glad you liked the song. Thanks for checking it out. Thanks Vic Glad you liked it
