Going the Distance - Angie Handley and Steve Lintern

[Thekesslerboy]

Going the Distance

Our latest collaboration. Gone a (little) bit heavier (for us). Let me know what you think. As always, I am interested to hear if you think it sounds like any other artists or songs, or what genre it would fall into. As well as suggestions for improvement.

Cheers

Going the Distance

(Verse 1)
There's a new day dawning
The time has come for change
You wake up every morning
Every one the same.

(Verse 2)
The view might be quite something
Up there on your shelf
But I can tell you one thing
You're seeing it by yourself

(Chorus)
There's nothing left to do for you-know-who
But you can make a difference if you get it right this time
You've got to find a way to seize the day
And take it to the distance coz the world is yours and mine

(Verse 3)
You go to work at half past seven
And crawl with all the cars
The future's a hell or heaven
Written in the stars

(Chorus)

Instrumental

(Chorus)

Outro

Recorded at our homes on second hand and ancient equipment

No AI was harmed (or used) in the making of this song.

It is an interesting song - blurred lines between verse, bridge and chorus - very clever even it wasn't on purpose.

I noticed some things in the tracks - i fixed what I thought was errant.

Thanks. What did you change? Some eq things? Throughout, or during which parts? It certainly sounds louder, and I like that.

I calmed down the mids - slight downtick in the midrange and even out the highs - all EQing was done with Dynamic EQs - the I glued it altogether with Pulsar EMU - which I love - it's a Compressor based on a common one used in most studios.
