Title: My Paper Plane (AndyG/Holger/Docmidnite/Drumguy/Stoman/Cosmic Dolphin)
Post by: AndyG6508 on February 24, 2014, 07:54:58 PM
Good to see this one completed....

Great performances from everyone involved, capped off by an excellent final mix from the Dolphin with valuable input from Steffen.

Holger sang up another of his Lennon-esque turns, Henry played some atmospheric guitar parts, Mark (drumguy) played a super Ringo meets Keith Moon, and Cosmic wrapped it together in a solid mix capturing the retro feel perfectly.

Lastly but by means in the least, Steffen helped with the general direction of the sound and with initial mixes.

This one's for Holger, hopefully he recovers soon and is back to making music at MCS!!

My Paper Plane  (c) Andy Gupta 2013,2014

Waiting for a wind of change to lift my aeroplane
Made of paper bits of string you won�t feel a thing
As she flies
Into the azure skies
Flying high
My paper plane

Looking down at the earth below from my point of view
Looking at things from up above one can feel the change
The world goes round
Time is flying
Soaring high- high- high
My paper plane

Never mind the weather we can fly
You and I together will get by
Every little thing will be all right
In my paper plane
My paper plane


Cruising through on auto pilot through the atmosphere
Banks of clouds deep blue sky the wind plays in your hair
As she flies
Breeze blown overdrive
Flying high- high -high
My paper plane


My paper plane
My paper plane
My paper plane
My paper plane

Personnel:

Holger Bremer: Vocals
Henry Mittnacht: Guitars
Mark R Cole: Drums
Andy Gupta: Lyrics, music, guitars including solos, keyboards, bass
Steffen Offermann: Original mixing, production ideas
Mark Morgon Shaw : New (Final) Mix/Master

Hey Paulo,

Thanks, glad you liked the song. The mix is great :).

I got lucky with the guitar, closed my eyes and somehow hit a few right notes :)

Hey CD,

Well I do have a decent collection of 60s-70s-80s rock music :).

Thanks once again for the super mix!

I'm really glad you finished this song. Great songwriting and perfomances, and Mark definitely did it justice with a very solid mix. Knowing the seps I can tell it can hardly get any better. I especially like the vocal and drum treatment.

And I too hope that Holger Lennon will be back in the saddle soon. I know how much it sucks to be struck with bad hearing, but to hear nothing - or almost nothing - at all is something I don't even want to think about.

Regards,
  Steffen

Blood Hell Guys, is there something in the water in Germany ?  You & Steffen seem to suffer with ear trouble.

Hi Steffen,

Thanks, I am glad you liked the final result. I hope that most listeners being unaware of the "state" of the seps, would just enjoy the solid sound it ended up with :)

me, too  :'( But I don´t talk much about it  ;)
Over 30 years of R´n´R leave their traces...


Really cool song, the combination of Andy´s retro songwriting capabilities and Holger´s lennonesque vocals always sound great together!!!
Ha, Mark/DrumGuy, we already worked together before... didn´t realise that ;D ;D ;D

btw: all the really cool guitar stuff is Andy!!!

Superb collab guys. Love the clean guitar lines mixed with the more effected guitar parts. I get the Beatles comparison. All the parts are well performed and that's a sweet mix, Mark.

Holger -  You really carried this bruv. Top vocals.

I think this is my favourite MCS song so far this year from here.  8)

Thanks, Bill, but I was not involved this time - I did try a mix but could not really get to grips with the seps, and so I gave up and passed the ball to Mark who did a very good job IMO.

All I did was prepare Holger's vocals.

Regards,

Hey Bill,

Good to see you at MCS, it's been a while!
Thanks so much for the kind words, yes, strangely it turned out Beatles like :).
I am thrilled you like the guitars, it was one of those lucky days where I closed my eyes and hit a few "right" notes.

Much appreciated Al. Good spot re the Monkees (rem Dadream Believer, Last Train to Clarkesville??), this song is a mix of a few 60s bands sounds :)

Refreshing. I dive into that psychedelic realm every once in a while. Very nice feel. I love the lift in the chorus! Great mix and performance.
