You did great with this song! You somehow managed to sound like Peter Gabriel, and this track immediately brings to mind his duet with Kate Bush. Way to go!

Nice transition to this trembling falsetto here.

The twin vocals works perfectly together in harmony emphasising the sensitive and intimate mood.

Reach Out is a song about love and friendship in the midst of tragedy. It could be war, or the pandemic, or any circumstances where two people try to make it work, against the odds. We probably all have such a story. The resilience from close friendship always comes…so long as we continue to reach out. 

The song was written a while ago, and sung with Jen Di Biasi; it started with some arpeggios on my classical guitar (C maj 9, G sus2/B, Am7), and some sketchy vocal lines. I’ve come back to it periodically, always building in new ideas and layers…but I think this baby is ready now! It’s got an 80s rock ballad feel I guess, with a little dancing section just past half way!

Reach Out

I like Soundcloud because it's a friendly community for sharing our music. When I like your music, I say how it affected me, maybe something about how you wrote, performed or produced it. I have musically diverse interests: pop/rock songs, jazz-rock fusion/prog instrumentals; acoustic guitar. Main instrument is guitar, I'm not a keyboard player or singer, but hopefully I can do enough there to make my work sound ok.
