Title: Not Lettin' Go - (Dave, Paul, Todd & Mark)
Post by: Studioplayer on November 22, 2011, 04:43:40 PM

Alright... another rocker done! Pretty happy with this one and it turned out much better than I expected thanks to Paul, Todd & Mark.  8) 8) 8)  Both Paul and Todd were an extra special treat since they're not always around to do some collabing. Having Paul Townsend come in (from years being away from here) with some lyrics & vocals kicked off the tune and some 'Thunder' on the drums finalized the deal. The vocals kick ass and the drums ROCK!! BUT... I have to give an extra hat's off to Mark for really going that extra mile to make this the best possible mix. Fantastic job and much better than I could ever do with my limited mixing skills.

I thought we were done but Todd ran the final mix through a 'distressor' which helped to warm things up and take off some of the digital edge. Sounds great!!  :)

You guys really went all out on this one. THANKS!! I really appreciate the help guys.  Hope we can do another some time!  >:D

Lyrics & Vocals by Paul Townsend
Guitars & Bass by David Patterson
Drums by Todd Vierra
Mix & Master by Mark Morgan-Shaw

NOT LETTIN' GO

I look into your eyes an' all I ever see is superstition
I drip into your lips an' everything you say's a secret kiss

I don't know what you're about
I can't sleep, scream or shout
I don't know how to grow
With you it's like a drug and I'm not lettin go-oh-oh
Coz you are like a drug and I'm not lettin go-oh-oh (ooooh!)
Coz you are like a drug...

So tell me that you want me if you want it badly an' I might comply
It's hard to recognize the innocence that compromises you and I

CHORUS

So tell me what you'll tell me...
Tell me what you'll tell me...
Tell me what you'll tell me...
Tell me what you'll tell me...

It's hard for me too....
It's hard for me too.... x2

I don't know what you're about
I can't sleep, scream or shout
I don't know how to grow
With you it's like a drug and I'm not lettin go
I don't know what you're about
I can't sleep, dream or even shout
I don't know how to grow
With you it's like a drug and I'm not lettin go-oh-oh
Not lettin go-oh-oh (ooooh!)
Not lettin go-oh-oh (ooooh!)

This is a great song guys. Came out really good. I love the dynamics you were able to get out of a online session. That doesn't happen to often. Nicely put together.

Man... talk about being in the right place at the right time Dave!
It's like you said, you were lucky to catch Paul and Todd while they were "passing thru" and the results are awesome!!
It's also nice to see Mark back in the mixing saddle again... hope everything is working out well in the new house Mark. :)

Thanks man. CD did a great job on the mix. I tried but couldn't even come close to what he did.

American?  Lets see.... One Canadian, one German, one Brit and one American...Todd...must be the drums!!......  that's if you count Alaska as America...  :D

Man I miss you guys!!! This sounds fantastic!!!!!  But what else could I expect from this fun loving and talented group....downloaded and put in the collection.

Now if I could ever just find the time to get my gear situated and singing again.

For those that don't know I relocated to the Buffalo, NY area and things have been hectic with new job, new life, musical kids and such...but I do check in and listen from time to time, and I am never ever disappointed...keep cranking it out guys....LOVE IT!!!

Brina

PS, the sound of this thing is outstanding, I keep playing it over and over again.
