Press Rechord
I’m not sure I have stuck to the rules…but I tried!
A 1600 mile road trip inspired the lyrics and provided the video images. The same trip explains why I have only just got it uploaded (it’s not really finished but it is finished enough for others ears to hear I think).
The song is about……well I’m not sure, but it explores family, journeys, beginnings and ends.Visiting your children is like holding a mirror up to your own life and moving through time, so that the their actions become your own and their children’s future is something you know better than your own. Anyway, the trip made me very philosophical and contemplative.
I hope you enjoy the song x
I really enjoyed this Simon. You really captured that hypnotic travelling feel. I could feel your contemplative mood as well. Great job with those chords too.
Thanks Julie, I was so pushed for time that I abandoned another section and left it at that. I think if the rules were applied strictly I might not qualify…imagine being red carded on TisT!!!
That effect on the “Every choice has to be made” etc – I liked that a lot. This was a real grower for me Simon. Hypnotic – yes. Absolutely. And an interesting take on the theme.
Thanks Chris – I listened to your comments on my last track so the vocals have been toned down on this one. I was hoping to rope my wife into doing the backing vocals (she has a very pure, sweet voice). However, she was not feeling comfortable with it. Therefore I had to do it myself and to make it sound different from the lead I just used a different mic effect on Garageband.
Well I’d call that success. This has a really distinctive feel to it Simon. I enjoyed it very much
The more I hear of your music, the more I appreciate what a talent you have. Everyone has their own musical tastes but there’s something about the sounds, the lyrics you weave together resonate deeply with me. I could listen to this on repeat for ages. Beautifully conceived & arranged. I hope you release this 😘💜
Beautiful and bears repeated listening. I can’t quantify how it works so well, it just does.
Lovely Simon, you know I’m a fan. Really enjoyed that and I love how you’ve woven this all together.
Really enjoyed that Simon. Doesn’t matter if you stuck to the rules it’s a lovely song.
Thanks Rebecca, thanks Graham! It was such a good challenge, exactly because it WAS a challenge – the learning continues
Sat listening to your song with headphones on and just Chilling out. Perfect.
It time to fire up my camper and head on out me thinks👌😁
Ha ha! I’m glad I sparked the wanderlust in you- thanks for commenting
I really enjoyed this Simon. Such lovely images 😍
Thanks Cath – get working on that wrist..we need you back!!
Special song Simon
