Hi folks,
I'm lucky and proud of this song, it was only a little tune and now thanks to the great contributions of all involved musicians it's a real classic rock song :)
I thank you all for your great work and also for your encouragement. ;)
A special thank goes to Paulo. He played all the keys, did the backing vocals (!) and he also was our mix master.
and we will get an alternative version of this song with Steve (pleasuredome) on vocals! I'm looking forward to this version.
The band is international:
electric guitars, music and lyrics : Mick Lovering, USA (mickbrit55)
keys, bvocals, mixing/master : Paulo Gomes, Portugal (Paulo)
bass : Andy Gupta, Canada (AndyG6508)
drums : John Wooten, USA (jwoo10)
acoustic guitar, vocals, music, lyrics : Holger Bremer, Germany (soulfrontier)
--------------THANK YOU ! --------------
lyrics:
coming home
all the way its coming down, its coming back to me
to where I found my home.
All the way and the feeling's coming over
to play hide and seek again.
Through the river that I crossed over
through the valley of the kings
over mountains and through the wilderness
I'm coming home
And now I'm sitting here and let it all come in
there's a better way.
See the sunrise and I watch a bird
and this tune will make my day.
You are here and you are there - everywhere!
I found a place where I belong.
You may see me in the shape of this old tree
and the birds will sing you a song.
come on come on sing a song
for my love, oh for my love
I'm coming home to where the light burns brighter
I'm coming home to warm by the fire
I'm coming home to feel safe and higher
I'm coming home to hear the sound of laughter
Ah, there's a better way
Ah, it will make my day
It takes away all my fears
And through the cool mist you'll see
I'm coming home

Hi Holger,
Im thrilled how well this song turned out!! I know this song meant a lot to you.
This is also affirmation of how everyone at MCS enjoys your singing :) - very distinctive and I really like the passion you put in - like you really mean it! Great vocal and acoustic guitar playing.
All the guys were super with their contributions - but I think Paulo and Mick deserve special mention for the work they additionally put in - Paulo for the super arrangement of keys, backing vocals and a great mix, and Mick for his original ideas and guitar goodness - its cool they took the "Rain Song" approach!!!
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to play a small part in this wonderful song.
Well done Holger!
Cheers
Andy

Nice one guys. I see you fixed any issues. Sounds beautifully now. Sweet song!! 8) The acoustic sounds great. Fantastic vocals Holger. This song suits you like a glove. Great playing by all the guys involved. A very epic tune. One for the player. :)
Hats off to Paulo for the mixing! :)

Wow ... what a trip this song was! As Holger said, it started as a small acoustic idea but it showed some real distinct possibilities. In true collaboration style we forged a great format, after many attempts, and came out with something to be proud of.
John's stonking Bonzo-esque drums really got us going (and in time). Many thanks John and, as I have said before, you always nail it! Andy, your feel on the bass for this track is simply awesome! You may think it is a small part but I disagree. If the rythm section is right then everything in the garden is rosey. Well done mate :)
Paulo worked his butt off the past few days to give us a really professional mix and master. His keyboards throughout the song are fantastic, but the final electric piano piece was pure genius. My hat goes off to you mate.
Holger, right from the start I told you that this song that you have written has a a magical quiality. Your acoustic playing was simple and yet eloquent. I hope you now realise that you truly DO have a unique and wonderful voice! Don't let anyone tell you any different. Thank you so much for letting me play on this one :)
Mick.

I said it before, but really like this tune! Love the vocals, harmonies, and guitar solo especially. Great work guys! You should be very proud Holger :)

Oh guys, very cool perfomances from all. Thanks for letting these lousy fingers playing the harvory stuff.
Special thanks for waiting while I was not in good shape, that meant a lot to me :'(

Oh Mick, by the way, steak around >:D.

Andy your bass part is not small! :) You and John are a fantastic team here, you gave the song the ground.
thanks a lot mate. I really like your bass part! Its JPJ-like and you nailed it. ;)
You are right this song is special for me. I was very sick when I wrote this song. It was March and I was nearly deaf...I was not able to tune my guitar right...it was a fight against the evil disease. Now I'm happy because the song turned out great while I recover well and my ears are much better now.
Dave and Roger,
thank you for the kind comments! :)

I second that! could not say it better. Yes good times, bad times...we had both here ;)

thanks a lot mate!

Hey Tricia, CD and Mike,
thank you, I'm glad that you like the song!
:)

Hey, I recognise that voice and singing style. It's my old mate, Holger. Man, you're giving it some here!! You're in fine form (and so are the band).
A very decent song which had me feeling all wistful.
Paulo - Love the outro rhodes, and the mix is very impressive.
-
Superb 8) 8) 8) 8)
Could the outro fade last another minute, very very slow fade to nothing, it is so beautiful? :) :)
-
Thanks Billy and Steve, glad you liked it :)
-
Very cool tune. Acoustic guitar sings! Great job all around! Nice mix.

Yes, wistful I think that's the mood :)
Steve I'm looking forward to your version!
thx r4m!
This song seems to become a classic tune for me ;D This version is the third, now Paulo is working on the next version with Steve on vocals :)
And it is by far my favourite version! As I said it was only a little tune and now its a great rock song.
The first version was only a unplugged version, only me and my guitar.
the 2nd version was a little relaxed pop song ;D with a few "out of tune" notes from the singer ;D. It was also a collaboration via internet with german friends from myownmusic.de
I post it here in case somebody is interested to hear this completely different version of the song. :)
And good news for you all:
we are today Nr. 3 in the charts on myownmusic.de for rock and on top in the charts for classic rock!
And now we get positive feedback from the germans too! :)
All say that its a great song with great musicians. I'm really happy and proud.
thank you all a lot. :)

Very nice tune. I remember that girl dying. Some tunes were done at F-Jam with her voice.
-
I'm pretty sure she died before we did the songs, and we used her vocals posthumously. :(

So it looks like we have an happy ending, here's the material to post.
Edit:
Sorry, this belongs to the original thread, it's there already ^-^

When I played the finished version to my wife she said, "That guy sounds like Robert Plant". Sums it all up for me :)
