Description : THIS IS OOOOOLD lol...

One of my first.. I think I used a really old piece of equipment..
4-track tape reel to reel, and then just totally ruined it trying to put it on a computer lol.... I can't even remember the name of that reel to reel...!!... This is about '02ish and on up till about '06... One of meh first tracks.

It was co-written with one of my old bandmates, but I played everything.

All the emotion comes from... finding out someone I truly loved and I wanted to be with, was pregnant with another mans kid.

Beautiful, I'm in utter amazement at the "raw" factor of this track. Just stunning in every aspect...and the tape quality just adds to the feel and vibe. Faved for sure...the sad tone to it has me completely captured....forever....

I love this, the grit of it, the rawness, and the realness that flow from it. I don't know what else specifically tie me to it but definitely a good track you got going there. Would love to hear a remake.

Please Abe, before one of us dies, lets jam live and record it together. I think we could blow minds and hearts (our own as well) with what happens sonically.

Think about it, aye?

Love this!

Really feeling this one it's such a raw and haunting piece. I'm no stranger to relationship failure and the playing brought back a lot of feelings that I thought I had long passed. That's the beauty of a good song tho. Sometimes it's ok to hurt as much as you did before when you hear something that evokes feeling. There's passion and pain in that lead fighting with each other. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I've been to that place too and I like this song a lot.

I remember those days back in the late 80's and 90's recording on 4 track cassette and 8 track reel to reel decks. Editing a track was nearly impossible but back then that's what we did to record. Emotional piece, especially after reading the description and knowing what the piece was written about. Nice one!

There are days when I wish I was back using my old reel to reel to record.....but they call this digital stuff progress....

meh, this tune proves how good the old ways were, and just how good music could sound.

Beautiful work my friend, absolutely beautiful.

Well this is a really nice one here 'livid. Fantastic guitar playing at the start, loved the backwards section, I like the fact that you only used four tracks. Really well played and put together, sounds like you put a LOT of time and effort into this one!

Fav'd.

hehe, ironically nope. .Probably spent 4 minutes in total. I mean chordally I had rehearsed this one to death, especially with friends and stuff, but when it came to the guitar stuff, it was kinda like.. "Oh okay, we got the chords, lets solo"
and back then I used to play guitar like 4-10 hours a day, so it was no thing. Just having fun!

I like it too.. I need to find a balance between this old stuff and my capabilities now.

it was 4 tracks all live!

take one, pan it over here.
take two pan it right there.
take three mix a bit.
take four would be the mix down on the opposite side.
then you could kinda see where you are at. I remember spending a LOT of time listening to my tapes backwards!

Description : A track I did with a friend ages ago. I play the guitar and he sang and wrote the lyrics. The lyrics came mostly from headlines in the newspaper that sunday. Recorded using a crappy old microphone direct into cubase with a few overdubs

Description : Now also on Spotify, Apple and Bandcamp! Link in bio, as the cool kids say - yes yes, I know you can listen here, and you should, but if you could give me a play on the streamings that would also be massively appreciated.
============================
This is not my story, but someone very dear to me... the lyrics are pretty close to what they said. What they said and the pain they felt touched me and I hope you can hear that in the song.
