Cool, I’ve listened to the other four songs submitted so far. What a great selection and it’s amazing to think that none of these songs existed until at least last Sunday.
@pompeyjazz, great heartfelt vocal on this one and a moving song, those dips into minor chords really pulling on the heart strings. Lovely work in just one session, although I know you always work admirably quickly. Very topical too, although heartbreaking of course.
Thanks for doing the playlist too, John. I think these songs will be quickly swallowed up into forum obscurity despite their obvious merits!
@Wicked Deeds your voice is lovely on this Paul, another moving contribution, some difficult issues tackled head on. Really like the indie guitar picking, plus the chorus has an anthem feel to it. I could imagine this one being worked up into a bit of an epic really. Despite you being a bit down on it, I think it’s a real quality piece.
@PaulAds I like the recorded sound you got from that acoustic, mine always sounds a bit boomy if I play chords like that. But I digress, as you’ve got a real steely bile in these well thought out lyrics Paul, which ironically sit on top off that bouncy accompaniment that sounds like a song about your holidays! Our very own North East rebel in action. Great stuff for this song-in-a-day challenge.
@cowparsleyman lovely languid feel to this. I like the spiky edge to that Tele and the simple riffing was just the ticket. The double octave vocal worked well and who could not resist those ‘where the chips fry’ quirky lyrics. Cool contribution to our challenge indeed.
I’m looking forward to hearing any others that might still come in.
Plus thanks
@pompeyjazz ,
@Wicked Deeds ,
@adamfarr and @paulads for the kind words on my effort, and esp thanks to PaulAds for his insight into his personal hobbies!
I’m glad this challenge came up as I never really consider doing such a 1+1 track, and even if I start out like that I always end up layering on the tracks. This challenge shows that sometimes less can be more and the heart and soul of a track is not necessarily in multi tracking and production. I’ll try an remember that next time I open up Track 24. Cheers all
