SHE ONLYJust heard it Nick. What I had in visioned has surfaced in your mix.
This morning I was surprised to see Nick posted his mix. I heard it once and was surprised that everything in it came out the way it should be. In actual fact I re-recorded a bunch of things including a complete piano track and was a little frustrated, and thought the song lost the original focus as, I had designed or in-vision ed it to be.
That came out in Nicks mix.
And what I really admire here with the mix being so clear, you can hear the how great Dave's bass playing is in the song. It jells really and fits like a glove in the tune. Nick took the basics of the song and brought that to the forefront where it should be. Right on the money.
That's what I mean when I say there is more to mixing than just adjusting a few fader levels. Everything sound good including the drums. Tacman thanks for adding that spark lead that fits so well. When you drop by and say
"I have an idea" no one should write that off or take it lighly. Look out.
Thanks so very much Nick. I appreciated it and thankyou everyone who played on this song. When I originally wrote it I did not know Ray too well. I just heard a couple of project takes he was working on, and I thought this guys is perfect for this. It appears that I was correct.
Then I thought the same thing about Ken and Dave. And again I was right.
So thanks Ray, Ken, Dave, & Tom for you cool contribution for this song.
"She Only"I would like to explain incase anyone is interested why I wrote this song. Well first and foremost that's what we do here on M. C. I am speaking specially about the songwriters. There are folks who don't write but they play on other peoples projects.
Years ago when I was a young pop I used to write re-active songs like do folks when they go through the trails and tribulations of life. Years later, I wanted to move away from the negative and focus on the positive.? But this one is sort of negative going to positive. Because I way I see it, he realized he has to stop being a fool and that he was being just that in that sort of situation. In this song, I started out one day with a cool strumming thing I came up with early one morning, when I was relaxed and in a good mood.
I like it so much I though press
Record on the tape machine, and lets see what comes out naturally. I just started singing what I felt inside and that's what came out. An hour later it was all down.
Even though the song is sort of negative I am not always talking about me. Sometimes about things I seen, been part off or seen other go through in life. Sometimes it all get mixed into the brew and the results are what they are here. In this song the guy was not functioning too well because, he realized it takes two people to make it work. If someone else is not "owning" their wrong it cannot work. So he realized to operate under what she wants it would mean he would have to continue being a fool. He loved her but if she is not accepting and, owning her part then what can he do. Someone said "Love is all you need" but love is accepting you share of the wrong and also seeing the right.. the good things about someone else. Not all the negative.
What else can he do to make her see if he tried everything under the moon and stars that it cannot work on that level. How many employee's are employers changing all the time that don't change or follow the rules.
Some only show up on pay day.
We fall into our habits
and sometimes then end up living complicated lives. Then out of frustration we wrote song like this.
It was a blast
Love it.
Nick can you please post an ape for the folks here of the mix. Thanks. The Tubes
