Title: Stone
Post by: r4m on May 24, 2013, 11:25:24 PM

Found this song on my HD that I finished awhile back off site. I guess since I haven't been able to collab
I'm hardup to post something! So I thought I'd share it.
As usual I posted a basic song structure. Wire-and-Wood wrote lyrics and did vox. Then Jwoo10 added drums.
FretlessIan1 added a fretless bass track. I mixed it which some will be able to pick apart! :D But go ahead, that is how I will get better.  :)



Lyrics and Vox..................Wire-and-Wood
Drums.............................Jwoo10
Fretless Bass....................FretlessIan1

STONE
Who's to say what is to be written in stone?
 A storm is coming but it cannot wash those words away
 Seems slow motion as the sky churns building energy
 Just a stone's throw from safe haven, but you never know

 Sometimes the stone holds, the best of solid ground
 But sometimes they concede, and then come tumbling down
 Will we know when we see
 Can we flow like the seas
 When the stones are thrown
 the safest home can't promise shelter
 Like a flame lights the way
 Will you do what they say?
 Those words they set in stone...
 It's another story... It's not my own
 I'm gonna hold my ground
 Even though I hear the sound
 The storm is rolling in, it's just beginning
 I stand alone

 Who better to say what's best for you than yourself?
 It's not set in stone, you're not alone along this journey
 You never strove to have no fear, in fact you seek to face it
 Look where it brought you over the years....
 And now you're here

 I've gone from place to place
 Like a rolling stone
 Yeah, this is my life
 and if nothing else, it is my own!
 Now circumstance and time has set me firm in place
 Not every stone got unturned....
 But I gave it a damn good chase!

Nice tune Bill - Well played all around...good to hear Mr Wooten on sticks.

The bass doesn't sound like it's centrally panned ?

Great song, guys.

Great vocal...powerful delivery really sells the song. I'm digging the fretless bass.....unusual. Great guitar chops, Bill.

Well produced and well played. A professional sounding result.

Hi Bill,

This is super!!!

Great singing - reminds me of a few of my fav vocalists (including a bit of Glenn Hughes for some reason) and your guitar playing is pure molten goodness!!
