This is one of my hitherto unfinished projects entitled Watch.
LOTS of guitars, LOTS of minor chords, a bit of melancholy, a stinging solo and a voice that belies the lyrical bent (emphasis on bent).
Ido1957 created & plays the guitar solo while Fritzthegirl created the melody, amended the lyrics & sings.
At this stage I've merely dropped the vocal into the mix & need to listen a bit to decide how dense or otherwise the backing should be.
Obviously the drum track is merely a beat marker.
I've also removed all but 4 guitar tracks from a basic set up to create a lighter backing.
One is the basic track as it existed for a year or so. I still have 1/2 doz more affected guitars muted waiting for an MBV mix.
I'll have to listen some more & read your thoughts folks.
Ideas?
Below is a mix after reading, thinking & listening.
Watch
I have a job
I have a motor car
I have a passport
But don’t go too far
A pair of field bins
An accurate map
All within reach
There’s no handicap
I keep a close watch on the words you say
I keep a close watch on the interplay
I keep a close watch on the things you do
I keep a close watch on you
I have a life
And acquaintances
I have a good home
Secure finances
I ‘ve obligations
And a sense of place
Two obsessions
And a travel case.
I keep a close watch as the pattern grow
I keep a close watch on the tracks in snow
I keep a close watch on anything new
I keep a close watch on you
Some recordings
And a 3 month log
I have night goggles
I see through the fog
I have a timeline
And an outcome planned
Some documents
And I’ll get those scanned.
I keep a close watch on your DNA
I keep a close watch on the games you play
I keep a close watch and one thing is true
I keep a close watch on you
I have neighbours
And a plain blue van
I have collections
And a tested plan
A pair of field bins
And a special place
All within reach
And a “just in case”
I keep a close watch on you night & day
I keep a close watch on your resume
I keep a close watch and the points accrue
I keep a close watch on you
I keep a close watch on the words you say
I keep a close watch on the interplay
I keep a close watch on the things you do
I keep a close watch on you x 2
