ROUGH ROUND THE EDGES
You tell me something i need to know
You tell me quickly, i wanna listen slow
You lead me on now, show me where to go
You sure show me something
You lying there, without a care in the world uh huh
You take the lead, you put me in my place
Where i should be
It's rough, so tough, ROUGH ROUND THE EDGES
Of my mind, when I'm with you
It's rough, so tough, ROUGH ROUND THE EDGES
But you and i, we love to smooth it out again
Oooh so smooth, oh yeah so smooth
Looking from my window, the lights at red
Oppose this green behind the windows in my head
People rushing fast now, gotta get on
One moment here, the next they're gone
Lying here in the fast lane with you, oh with you
So sublime this feeling, that aint no lie, it's so true
Would i lie to you?
It's rough, so tough, ROUGH ROUND THE EDGES
Of my mind with you, never a dull moment
It's rough, so tough, ROUGH ROUND THE EDGES
But you and i, we love to smooth it out again
Ooh so smooth, so smooth
KEYBOARD SOLO
it's rough, so tough, ROUGH ROUND THE EDGES
Of my mind when i'm with you
It's rough, so tough, ROUGH ROUND THE EDGES
But you and i, we love to smooth it out again
Ooh so smooth, oh yeah so smooth
Oh so rough, we will get there
Oh so rough, we can get there
Oooohhhhhhhh yeah yeah yeahhhhhhhhh
It's so rough, so rough
It's so rough

Thanks guys!
I was going through my project files just to see if my rig would work for now. I opened this and couldn't put it down!
You all did a great job.

Thanks again Nick,
I have amended the first post and added the lyrics :) :) :) :) :) :)

Nick- sounds fantastic! :D I've really missed working with you and the guys! Awesome job by everyone here, first time I've heard Steve's keys on this- amazing!
I'd say the rig is working pretty well, Nick, you know there's a couple more of Steve M's gems in the wings that could use your midas touch (see this through, road to knowwhere, et al). ;) ;) ;)

Thanks Rob and Steve,
Steve - I amended the Title. :) I had the Right title then second guessed myself.
Rob - Always love your phrasing and melodies. I miss working with you too! Although I do have a backlog to get done! A new DAW is in the works for the studio! >:D
All - This is what I get for doing a headphone mix. The bass is a bit overpowering. I will tame the bass down and put up the fixed mix. But that said, Dave's bass line are incredible on this tune! He is so locked in!
As always, I have completely changed the way I mix (gotta keep it interesting). There are a few extra steps, but I think worth the effort.
Ciao,
NickT

Did a little testing and came up with a new master.
Let me know, better-worse or whatever. >:D

Sounds good...
... Only, I think the snare reverb is too much, it goes on top of everything...
... And the overall is pumping a little bit.

Very catchy tune.. and grooves nicely! 8)
Enjoyed the listen.
