DAWless and inspired by some 90s UK performers style

back when I was recording the John Denver song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" with the fine gentlemen in The Eclectic Collective, my 8 yr old daughter loved the song so much she began singing it ALL THE TIME. This is a quick little recording of her singing the chorus. Pretty amazingly expressive singing for a youngster if I do say so myself! 

Here's the full recording with the Eclectic Collective:

Country Roads (daughter sings chorus)

Cast of Characters:

Computart – @computart – guitar, vocals/whistling, composition

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – mix and production 

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass and mandolin

This song started as a recording of Computart playing the guitar and singing/whistling to a metronome, which you can find raw on his page. Having worked together before on a song called The Shining, the Frenchman reached across the pond again and asked me, the Yank, if I would like to add anything to this. This style of music being one of my favorites, I jumped at the chance. Of course, I got Ken involved right away because every great song needs a great drummer. I came up with a bass line, to which Ken added drums, to which I in turn redid my bass line, as is our usual process. I then added the mandolin. Then, Ken added the hand drums to put the icing on the cake. Tez was generous enough to produce and mix this for us, and we feel like he got it to sound like we were all playing in the same room together. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed putting it together. You can find more of Computart's music, as well as this one, for sale on his BandCamp page, which is right here.computart.bandcamp.com/track/plaisir

We hope you'll enjoy.
Happy Holidays!

“Get Wise, Child”

Dazzled by the shine of each dashing smile
Child, you better wise to the guise of guile
Give your heart to dance to their passing fancies
You're like to end up lonely, bitter, and angry

The world is false
And full of greed
They’ll praise your faults
And deceive your needs

Find yourself a love that esteems and improves you
One whom pairing to will make a marriage of gratitude

Through cold, dark nights
They’ll by your side attend
You’ll hold them dear
And thank God for so good a friend

Fallin’ into cults for that special direction
Double-check your step ‘cause bad thoughts ’re infectious
The world is like to debase with a myriad voices
Listen past their noise cause the most are joyless

The world is false
And full of greed
They’ll praise your faults
And deceive your needs

Find yourself the truth that uplifts and refines you
The one the world can’t shake because it builds true fortitude

Through bleak, long days
It’ll keep from distress
You’ll hold it dear
And thank God for your good sense

The world may sway
In violent madness
But don’t you fear
‘Cause you’ve prepared a strong defense

Get wise, child
The world will joy-ride you
Get wise, child
Don’t let the world decide you

Get wise, child
You need a true friend beside you
Get wise, child
You need the truth to guide you

This is the built on a poem by my Grandad Bill Stapleton. He wrote it on the 23rd of October 1969  by request of his Aunt Cora!

Friend of Friendship

A friend is a very special thing
Warm and close and comforting
A golden treasure, rich and rare
Worthy of all our tender care.

A friend must be a friend of a friend
Never possessed or yours to lend
No money can buy or jewels trade
This is how a friendship is made

Will friendship last or will it sever?
The poor are sure the rich are never
With mutual trust and honour paid
This is how a friendship is made
