Many thanks to everyone for their wonderful contributions. From Andy's driving bass and Mark's thumping drums to George's powerful vocal interpretation of the lyrics and Jay's crazy synth solo and accompanying keys. A massive thank you to everyone.
Andy Gupta - Bass, George Williams - Vocals, Mark Guertin - Drums, Jay Lamothe - Keys, Rest - Michael Woodford
The Wildebeest - Michael Woodford (c) 2019
Intro
Verse 1
Savanna’s dry, nothing to eat
New mouths to feed, a hungry bleat
A look around just one last check
The Wildebeest begin their trek
At first a gentle trot they make
The sun is high so much at stake
And then the call to race is made
No fear, not one of them afraid
Chorus
The Wildebeest, heads held high
Gallop on their way
The Wildebeest, heads held high
Verse 2
Lions wait along the way
To ambush their unwary prey
The weak fall victim to the hungry pride
The strong race on so dignified
Along the Serengeti’s western corridor
To Maasai Mara, first a carrefour
Which way to turn, a choice to make
It really doesn’t matter, which direction they take
Bridge
Solo
Bridge
Chorus
The Wildebeest, heads held high
Gallop on their way
The Wildebeest, heads held high
Verse 3
The Mara River must be crossed
Where many comrades will be lost
The Wildebeest they have no fear
Their only goal to persevere
And once they gain the upper hand
They gallop to the promised land
The grass is fresh, plenty to eat
New mouths to feed, contented bleats
Chorus/Outro
The Wildebeest, heads held high
Gallop on their way
The Wildebeest, heads held high

Nice!
It's pulsating very much. Sounds like the vocals are over compressed making the mix pulsate...
a awful mix IMO. :)
other than that a great tune!
-
I think the mix is fine. It's all fine. A bit silly mind you.

I'm not known for my mixing skills Gary, but in the absence of anyone else it's the best I've got to offer ;D but on listening a bit more intently it is pulsating a bit yes. Thanks for your listen and comment :)
