Hi everyone,

I’m very excited about this one. A few weeks ago I emailed Jambrains asking him if he fancied collabing with me. He was up for it, but all I had was this chorus idea and I knew I wanted it to be guitary. (technical term )

Anyway, the rest came together pretty quick and Jambrains has been AMAZING to work with.

All of the music/Mix you hear is Jam. I was in charge of the top line/ lyrics.

We hope you like it! All thoughts are very welcome. Thanks for your time.

Lyrics

In the dark
Her words cut through the jungle to the heart
Where a weary soul is blinded by the spark
I was lost
A ghost stuck in the ruins of the past
Couldn’t seem to find a way out of my head

But slowly I, come back to life, when she says...

Chorus.
Climb the mountain with me
It’s gonna be alright
Through the darkness I will not leave you behind
Let the wolves surround us and try to take a bite
We’ll reach the top in time...
And start an avalanche
Say goodbye to the life you know
Let’s start an avalanche

So we climb
I daren’t look down, just one step at a time.
Yeah the air gets thin, but I feel more alive.

The world I’ve known, so far below, where she said...

Bridge.
Suddenly I find, the clouds have disappeared
And I can see for miles. A brand new horizon
Where everything will be alright.

Thanks for listening

Great stuff. I've not actually heard too many songs from this site as yet but this is probably my favourite so far. Absolutely love it!

[Movin Flavour]

Good collaboration guys.

Great vocals and lyrics ......and guitars too, especially the solo....definitely guitary

Has a real 80s Rock feel about it.

Well done

@Sterix thx buddy. I appreciate your time. Il have to check out your stuff.

@Movin Flavour thanks as always man!

Whoo Hoo. That's a treat indeed guys. Leo's vocals and the Jambrains guitar and vocals treatment. Top quality work both of you. Guitar solo is excellent.  Leo's vocals top drawer. Nuff said 

[tboswell]

Powerful, your voice sounds fabulous and production on it really works well.

Couple of production points. I think the synth/piano is a little loud at times, especially in the main instrumental theme. I would have liked the bass to be doing a little more work, it's just plugging away at the bass note of the chord every time. Think some variation in that at places would give it more interested.

The guitar work is super, especially the solo. Full of wild energy.

Really like the extra chorus effect where it stops and comes in with the hook. Works great.

Classy bit of rock!

It all sounds really good and well done. I think you'll find a huge fan base with this sound.

Guys, looking forward to this. Got AOR written all over it :-)
All the ingredients present and correct
Chugging guitars and neat space on the verse, catchy pre chorus and then it hits you with those big chords and melody, all radio friendly. All topped by Leo's fab voice.
REO Journey thingamajig :-)
Then that climaxing solo..
My only thought is word Avalanche isn't easiest to hear.
Great work.

Ps will forgive you for nicking the title which I used a few years ago. Can't copywriter that!!

Excellent stuff!

Sounds fantastic and is a great tune. Vocals and guitar are both superb.

[RealKevM]

Very 80's, you've done a cracking job lads.

[montydog]

I'm with Neil C on this - he has summed it up perfectly. All I can do is echo what he says. First class piece of work produced and performed to the highest standard. What a voice!

I still like this song. 

Just listening to it again and... just a  couple of times the vocals are threatened to get overwhelmed by the music and could do with a little more... oomph. Not a criticism as much as a personal observation. Still a cracking tune. Better than 99% of the **** in the charts the last time I even listened to them.

[Yodasdad]

Class, really enjoyable!

Recognisably lost boy with the strong melody and vocals, yet with a harder Jambrains edge.

Definitely hearing both influences and it's a great collab, powerful rock ballad.

One tiny criticism and that's that to my ears, the e piano/bell like sound feels like it is just dragging ever so slightly behind the beat at times.

Apart from that though, it's really welll done guys.

You can go away, and come back any time, and this fotum never disappoints.
