Cosmic Cowboy (Pleasuredome/Studioplayer/Paulo/LINO/JWoo10/Bassic Soul)

[Bassic_Soul]

Welcome,

This is a song that I wrote back in the 70's that is light years away from my life today.  To paraphrase 'Star Wars"; A long time ago in a galaxy far away, I wrote these words.

 

Cosmic Cowboy



Remember the days of your youth,
Your searches for beauty and the words of eternal truth,
Fly on you cosmic cowboy.

But the look on your face,
Says all your dreams are misplaced,
Fly on you cosmic cowboy.

It's so plain to see, dreams replace reality, for you,
And what will you find, within the vistas of your mind revealed.... revealed.


So you slip off the chains of space and Time,
In search of the meanings hidden deep within the poets rhyme,
Fly, fly, cosmic cowboy.

And the rushes are so intense,
And the joys you find so immense,
Fly on you cosmic cowboy.

You're dying don't you know, but you love it so let go, for now.
Right now it really feels like Paradise or Strawberry Fields you know...don't you know.


Fly, fly on you cosmic cowboy
Fly, fly on you cosmic cowboy
Fly on you cosmic cowboy

THE CAST OF PLAYERS:

Lead Guitar & Vocals: Pleasuredome
Counterpoint Lead Guitar: Studioplayer
Arpeggio Guitar: LINO
Hammond Organ: Paulo
Drums: jwoo10
Bass, 12 String Guitar & mixing: Bassic Soul
Mastering: Paulo


I am truly honored to work with a cast of players that are soo far above my pay grade and when I said that you guys absolutely rock, I meant it from the heart. I need to send a special thanks to Steve for an inspired Lead Guitar & Vocal that changed the way I'd heard this song for twenty years. Now I can't hear it any other way. I believe that this is the first time Steve has worked on one of my tunes; I hope that it wouldn't be the last. I asked for a Pink Floyd kind of feel and everyone did outstanding work, I am thrilled with the outcome. 

BTW: I've decided to shorten the song title to "Cosmic Cowboy".

Thanks for looking in.

Sounds great...amazing sounding mix...i like the blusey floydish vibe to the song...sounds excellent.

[Bassic_Soul]

I take that as a high complement from a mix master like you.

Thanks for the cudos.

Hey Preston,

You should be very proud - this song has turned out sounding like a vintage Floyd like classic from the mid-70s.

Great performances from everyone, killer vox and guitars, nice deep sound to the bass, atmospheric organ swirls, spacey drumming - this songs got it all.

And finally - a very good mix and master!

Another one for my i-pod!!

Cheers
Andy

Thanks Andy, I'm glad you enjoyed it and it is a good match for your tune "Karna" which has a nice Floyd like groove to it also. I-pod away my friend and thanks again for the kind words.

 It's always good to hear good reviews from my peers here at MCS. I need to spend some time listening to more of the completed works on site so that I can return the favor and get some new tunes for while I'm on the road.

Thanks for looking in Bobby.

Cheers Ian

I had a tough time mixing this because so much was going on but I learned a new phasing trick from some online mixing tutorials that helped me to get some sonic separation on Paulo's B3, then everything else was just a few tweaks away.

Thank you for your comments Ian. 

Best regards all,

Steffen,

I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank you for the time and effort that you put in on this song. Because of the time constraints that I'm working under I needed to wrap this one up but you've made it clear from early on that you liked this song and I really appreciate your efforts and your support.

Thanks again Steffen 

Very good listen.
