Thank you all for your replies!
@pompeyjazz Haven't heard of the La's ,my bad, adding more treble to the lead guitar was one of the last things I did. Forgot to turn the volume down to compensate.
@dasntn If I wasn't atheist Springsteen would be a household God. Now he only has a shrine in the living room.
@tboswell This challenge rocks!
@Skub Again Springsteen, the whole Nebraska album influenced me a lot for this track.
@PaulAds Yes I think this is a keeper. I was working on a similar song when the challenge started, couldn't change track apparently.
@redrhodie My goal was both the feeling of motion and an in your face sound. I'm kind of rediscovering these 60s crybabies.
@Bill Saunders Thanks on the input on the vocals. (Kind of key to get those right.) I found my voice was a lot lower than I had expected and all I read about vocal seemed to be about tenors or growl. This internet.
@Boydie Morrisey have influenced this track. I warmed up with First of the gang to die before most recordings. Thank you for commenting the vocals. I used the pencil trick but still got mostly a very sharp sound between 2k-8k. I have to learn to hear nuances more +/- 3dB is almost inaudible to me.
@CaliaMoko The theme is dark. First I had a more conclusive ending but I changed it to a more open ending. To me the chorus describes how one person feels he has the lives of others in his hands.
@adamfarr I just wanted it evil. You might be right about the lead guitar. During these recordings I learned about Record offset in Studio One, the by hand latency compensation might be a bit lacking.
@Viscount Cramer & His Orchestra To be compared to The Boss is always flattering. The original lyrics were 'Down by the water' but I miss sang them so many times I just gave up and changed them.
