Original song performed by Boston
***********************************************************

About a month ago Gary shared this Boston song with me. He said it was one of his favorites and that he would love for us to cover it someday. Listening to it...we both knew it would be a challenge...but, we also both love challenges...so it was all good!  As i listened through the piece with "creating ears" instead of "listening ears" it became even more clear just how much of a challenge it was going to be!  But, nothing ventured nothing gained...and I, for sure, wanted to do my best to help Gary bring this song to fruition.

I set out to learn the organ parts...Gary found a youTube video for me with someone playing the intro on the organ..this particular video was solely focused on his hands and exactly "how" he played this....so, I learned it...note by note..by slowing it down...watching his hands and writing down each note...section by section....and then I sent that Midi to Gary so he could begin to build the song around that...thank goodness for his amazing production abilities...that he could take so many different sections of Midi (I think there were 14 in total for the entire song) and blend them together so seamlessly... 

After the organ parts were done it was ALL Gary!! I can't even begin to tell you how much time he spent on this song...he spent many many hours just getting the tones right so that they were fitting to the piece...and the drums, well..I knew from listening that the drums were going to be quite the challenge for him...I knew he could do it..but, I also knew it was not going to be easy...he SO nailed those!!  The layers and layers of goodness that he added with all of his guitars, the bass - electric - and acoustic...sound so perfectly pleasing to my ears. He has stayed true to the original while also adding his own personal "flavor" and "style" which I find to be FANTASTIC!!!  I am completely blown away by his musical abilities both on the instruments and also on the production side of things...he worked with so many stems on this piece that I have no idea how he kept it all straight...but he did..and he did it SO well :)

After we had all of the musical parts in place we started to do the vocal thing...we decided to each sing a verse and then sing the last verse and choruses together...Gary had to tap into his higher register for this one...and I think he did an AMAZING job!!  Definitely a step out of his comfort zone..but he SO did it!!!  I had much fun singing along with him and finding those harmonies....as always, much fun was had during the creation process....and I can't thank Gary enough for the challenge and the finished product.  A successful try :)

Thanks Gary!!! YOU SO ROCK!!!
