Title: Hey You
Post by: CosmicDolphin on September 22, 2008, 05:45:29 PM
This is a song I wrote with my old friend many many moons ago.......

The singer is my friend Dale who also played the lead guitar part....we've been mates since aged 5

He does music for a living, playing covers and travelling all over the world.  Every now and then he comes back home and we do some songs together.  The backing singer is his other half Tracey who does most of the vocals when they play live.
I always help out with mixing and stuff for them.

It's been kicking around for about 8 or 9 years, he plays it live when he's doing original songs and we've recorded a few different versions but none of them worked out how we wanted it to.

So I put it up for the guys here and they came up trumps...it's by far the best version and really benefitted massivelyfrom the extra input.

Thanks everyone ! Love the final outcome.

Lovely tune, you do capture this "british pop-rcok sound" so very well. nice singing, music and production. unusual guitar sound, works well.
