Final mix and master of my original "Long Time Coming"

Long Time Coming - Final Mix and Master (Original Composition)

Cover/arrangement of Exile's "Kiss You All Over."

Kiss You All Over - (Exile Cover)

Little bit of a different approach to covers - this is the first song I tried to utilize a 'gimmick' in recording.  All sounds except vocals are made by a bass or guitar.  The final product is not quite what I was trying to accomplish, but my wife says it's her favorite of my covers.

Heart And Soul (T'Pau cover)

I was finally able to export my old Audacity files so I could redo the mix in Reaper a bit better.  It's still a big old mess, but hey it was my first full recording.  After listening to the original stems, I think I've got to revisit my recording technique - yeah, the mix might be hideous, but the individual recorded tracks sound better and the only thing that has changed (other than my software) is that I backed off on my record levels.  I may have to try recording "hotter" again.


Run (Collective Soul cover) -  remix

Initial draft of my most recent composition. This is the song that makes me wish I were a better singer - I'd really love to hear a female voice belt out the chorus.

Still Alive (Draft-Original Composition)

Lyrics

I keep falling to waking dreams
I keep riding the tidal streams
that flow

You keep pushing and pressing me
Always bending and stressing me
To grow

Displaying my selfish greed
Failing under your endless need
To show

Lying broken, there’s no relief
A word spoken, a healing grief
You know


A coming day of timeless peace
A sweet release
From me
I wonder if I’ll find your face
A priceless grace
I’ll see.


On the bottom you’re holding me
Barely moving, I cannot breathe
I’m done.

A choking weight surrounds my chest
A smoking hole to pierce my vest
You’re gone

Dark confusion, I ache; I plead
Am I amusement to suit your needs
Alone

From the darkness I make my climb
A blinding rage remains with time
I’m home.


Battle of Shiloh
