*The Travel Song -
a track written around a sony Acid drum loop drum track.
kind of a king's x vibe.
the thing about this one is..... and the reason it comes off as a bit smoother than some of the other material, is...... it's a Waltz!
LOL... well, actually, 6/8 time. but i feel it like a waltz when i play it.
the story behind the lyric.....

i wrote this, right after finding out about a real hard time my two friends were having on their 'cross-europe' bike trip....
at Gatwick airport.
this is about these guys having one of their 2 bikes trashed by the airlines,
and then running into some friends later down the road, that showed up and helped out. they finished their trip in grand style!
 
Good song and harmonies. Is this a solo effort or a band performance? It feels like live this will be an even rockier highlight of a set.

HEY KESSLERBOY

Thanks for the comments!

this is all me, solo effort.
and i agree, with a full band line up, it could be a barn burner.
as long as the harmonies are all there, you could take it in a few different directions, i think.
this song is from my album "The Time is Magic".
 
maybe a bump for this one?
i was thinking that this one was probably more in line with what folks here like to listen to,
than my acoustic one....?

it sounds like a jam/demo - it’s got good bones - perhaps a little to busy on the guitars - but Iike it - got some CSN&Y to it - and Some progressive 80s elements to my ears.

hey thanks for listening papanate...
yea, even tho this is the finished one, i like the loose nature...
i really don't like stuff that is so polished it's over produced... i've always liked the songs that kind of live on the edge of sophistication and primitive rock feel.

to compare, here is my original demo, which has a couple of acoustic guitars, but just one rhythm guitar, which was a first take.
