Played around with an old song of mine in the newly acquired AmpliTube/iRig (for iPad). Recorded 2 bars of guitar, doubled it and added a couple of voice tracks.

"You'll be alright and I'll be okay!" is a indie-pop-song which originates back to the summer of '96 in Eksjö, Sweden.

A music video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BYNJWdBJhM

When browsing through old Cassette-recordings from rehearsals with the pop-group "Session"; I found this unfinished song without lyrics nor solid structure. I decided to, one day, finalize the song as a tribute to our band and now (summer of 2016) the song is completed 20 years later!

The song still has its mid 90's-sound but with a somewhat modern touch.

All footage in the video derive from the treasures of my families VHS-recordings from early and mid 90's.
