Title: Black Crow (Rock/Pop) - new version with new vocals
Post by: stoman on February 21, 2010, 02:08:06 AM
The first version of this song had a couple of issues: The vocal seps were clipped and distorted, and the mix was bad. So here is a much better version. :)

There are two slightly differently processed versions of the same mix. Pick the one you like better - the differences are subtle. :)

Lyrics: Katherine Wong
Vocals: Jessica Rasche
Electric Guitar: Bobby Clohessy
Drums: Gerald Langenfeld
Bass: Wolfgang Sailer
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann

Black Crow, Black Crow

Apollo loved Coronis, but she did sin
The fires of revenge have done you in
You were just the messenger
Cursed to black from white
Facing the devil in the darkness of night

   Black crow, black crow what did you see
   Your tormented soul's lookin' back at me

You were Apollo's messenger
Scorched by revenge
You possess the gorgon's blood
Now you can avenge

   Black crow, black crow what did you see
   Your tormented soul's lookin' back at me

You have the power to bring to life
Those who have been wronged
You will be a sign of death
Until the violence is gone

   Black crow, black crow what did you see
   Your tormented soul's lookin' back at me

An eye for an eye; a score for a score
Keeps you black for ever evermore
That's what you get for bringing bad news
That's what you get for telling the truth

   Black crow, black crow
   Messenger of news
   Stripped of your glory
   For telling the truth
   Stripped of your glory
   For telling the truth


Now I'll better go and shovel some snow ... I'm late already.

Regards,
  Steffen

The new vocals sound great.  I'm going to replace this version on my sites :).

Thanks Jessica and Steffen for coming back and attacking this with such enthusiasm.
