Title: Pretending
Post by: Errol on January 16, 2011, 07:09:37 AM: I think we can call this one done! :D Really want to thank everyone for their help. :)

Vocals & BGVs: Mimmo
4 Guitars: Studioplayer
Bass: Musobass
Piano: Chesook
Words & Music: Chesook
Speed Demon also contributed a drum track but other instrumentation was con-currently being worked on it didn't fit together in the end.

The sun is scarcely up
As I refill my cup
The morning chill is stark
Still clinging to the dark
Pretending it's ok
Confronting every day
Knowing I will never see your face again

5 green lights in a row
I'm lost on roads I know
My fingers clench the wheel
Can't hide from what is real
Pretending it's ok
Confronting every day
Knowing I will never talk with you again

Too easy to believe that you
Would be with me forever
So I let fate step in and take
The dreams we shared together

At night within my room
With memories I exhume
Ghosts float across the wall
Words echo down the hall
Pretending it's ok
Confronting every day
Knowing I will never see you face again
(Oh no) I will never touch your skin again
(Oh no) I will never laugh with you again.

Post by: Studioplayer on January 18, 2011, 02:41:55 PM: Yep.. This came out nice. :) Good job on the mix Errol. Nice vocals by Mimmo. Thanks for letting me play. It's nice to do something a little bit more laidback than my usual Rock stuff. It takes me out of the box and makes me actually have to learn a song and play it with some kind of finesse. At least to ability. :D Thanks guys!! 8)

Dave thank you so much for playing this. Your guitar tracks really elevated this to another level. :)
I tend to write mostly laid back stuff but that is not the only sort of music I listen to. I think my tracks are laid back because I write most of them on the piano and I can't play any quicker than about 90BPM... ;D
Really appreciate your help, advice and support!
