Another version of Paul's excellent lyric (Steffen's done a fantastic version previously)
What makes this special is that it's Holger's "comeback" song :) :) :) :) :).
Super performances by everyone involved, capped off by an excellent mix by "new boy" Asli!!!! Another easy going good-natured collaboration.
Stuck On The Ground (PVD)
bpm=138, Intro: A figure (E F F# F notes) on first position
(v1)
A C#7
We would float with balloons
A7 D
In Central Park
B D
And danced in the shadows
Dm E
Long after dark
(v2)
A C#7
Our days would never end
A7 D A
They would only begin
B D
We rode on the jet streams
Dm E
And heard the man sing
(chorus)
A
I felt we were soaring
C#7
Like there was no end
F#m
With nothing to stop us
B
The rules were being bent
A C#7 F#m E
I can remember all that time we had
A
And the sky held no bounds
C#7
We wore stars on our brows
F#m B
But I couldn’t imagine why
D
While I was flying
Dm A
You were stuck on the ground
(v3)
There was a time you loved
The wind in your face
The danger and the risk
The thrill of the chase
(v4)
And there were smiles and laughter
About the silliest things
What happened, my love
What happened to your wings
(chorus)
I felt we were soaring
Like there was no end
With nothing to stop us
The rules were being bent
The world was but an oyster in our hands
And the sky held no bounds
We wore stars on our brows
But I couldn’t imagine why
While I was flying (so high)
You were stuck on the ground
(bridge)
F#m G# A
I am circling overhead
A B D A B
Calling you, but the time is now
F#m G# A
The winds are blowing strong
A B D A E
And they’re pulling me away somehow
Solo : Over verse chords
Outro x3:
While I was flying
You were stuck on the ground....

Andy

after listening on better speakers the only thing i found to criticize is the lead vocal - not the performance but the sound. not sure if it's the fx, the eq or some sort of filter but it sounds muffled, dull & maybe a little muddy in spots.
other than that, it's great.
oh, & i like the little guitar stuff at the end.

Guys:
Sound great, Holger, good to have you back.
Great to have multiple versions.
Paul

Nice job, guys, and while it is very different from my approach, it clearly has Andy's and Holger's signature.
I think the vocals are mixed just right - reminds me of some Lennon songs, and it has that 70s vibe to it that I like.
A couple of notes could have used some melodyning, but overall it sounds pretty good to me.
-
Yep, cool song, great production :)
BTW: Asli also did the buvocals!!!!
-
Thanks Paul, glad you like. The lyric is first rate, the melody wrote itself the very first time read them!
Andy

Thanks for the feedback Steffen. I am glad you like the overall result.
You cant get away from Lennon where Holger is involved :)

Hello @all,

Asli, great start mate!

Nice to hear Holger back again ...welcome back !
Another nice song to go with all the other Beatle/Lennon-esque songs you guys have produced.
Cool melody that zips along nicely and I like the guitar parts....a lilttle more vocal clarity wouldn't go amiss though
