My New Song/Recording - George Harrison/Moodies influence (it's free :)...

[ProgMusician]

Hey everyone,...

Just wanted to get some feedback on a new recording. It's more of a crossover prog kind of song. Fairly strong George Harrison influence in the chords etc (like a lot of my pop-ier stuff). The proggiest moment would be the orchestrated climax at the end. The tuba was lifted from Simon and Garfunkel's "The Boxer" and given "the treatment" - ie: layering etc. The lyrics are right there on the page. What say ye?

I thought it was quite good.... Could be my ipad but the vocals sound too far back. Nice job.

Thanks for the input. That's just the kind of feedback I was looking for... hard to make these judgements sometimes, depending on the song. I will bear that in mind... Cheers!

Are the drums real? Sample looped?

I agree. The vocals are pretty buried. Nice piece, though. I like the guitar work.

Funny,... I was being conservative with the vox because I didn't want to be obnoxious about it I shall make the change

The drums are played by hand on keys (w overdubs). A lot of them came from a Roland JV1010 module
