This tune is one I just couldn't get out of my head. I want to thank all that contributed ideas and comments.

Thanks to Paul for writing great lyrics and a unique Vocal track! I knew when I heard your audition, it was perfect for this song!

Steve (P-Dome)...what can I say? Your BGV's are brilliant and the glue that holds this tune together.

After The Letdown (Candy Girl)

Nick Testa - All Music, Chorus Lyric, Mix and Master
Paul Townsend - Lyrics, Lead Vocals
Steve McAndrew - All Background Vocals


Candy girl, sweet-sugar sick taste
Pure white with an optimist's embrace
Carries on even when she gets knocked down
She stands right up, takes another look around...she looks around

Now Candy girl don't give in easy
She takes heart where others might give in
Pulls a grin, life's bitch does her best to wilt her
She sits right there, does her best to filter it out...she filters it out

After the letdown...letdown
She Cried
After the letdown...letdown
She Cried

Burnt her fingers, her soul destroyed her
Poor Candy, she ain't all that she was
Took a knock tryin to fight in her latest corner
She fell right down, just another forlorn girl....a poor forlorn

After the letdown...letdown
She Cried
After the letdown...letdown
She Cried

Her tears are for real
Nothing will heal, no more, it's over

After the letdown...letdown
She Cried
After the letdown...letdown
She Cried

After the letdown...letdown
She Cried
After the letdown...letdown
She Cried

Her tears are for real
Nothing will heal, no more, it's over...

Hope Enjoy!

Thanks Ray!

On this tune, I tracked the same part 4 times. Two very clean and 2 a little dirty. I used two different amp models. Then panned hard left and right. I will also eq a little different.

Most times I just play it twice with two different guitars and amp models. Then pan hard.

Great mix nick, great lyric and vox delivery Paul and just a great song to be involved with..thanks guys.

Thanks Steve for all the help!

Great backling vox... the icing on the cake, the song desperately needed something boosting the chorus IMO.
I'm so chuffed to have been part of this one, i love the song, and as far as the lead vocal is concerned, it's an important example to me that less is often more...
