Cover/Remix of Life is a Rock by Historic Groove original performed by "Reunion" 1974



 Life is a Rock = Cover song/remix of 1974 hit by the band Reunion

Hello Sonar Forum Members, My name is Ken. I am a member of a two person group called "Historic Groove".
Don't look for it you will find very little. We produce everything in Sonar. My music partner Dave introduced me to Sonar.
He is my Sonar Guy I usually call  him before I look here.  he is a couple of releases behind but  is planning on getting up to the latest issue by the end of 13.

First we produced a faithful cover of the song, Then Dave allowed me access to his sonar files on my system and I got to remix it. this is from 2009.
He played bass and Guitar. I know he is a fan of Line Six stuff and he has a gold top les paul. for what that is worth.

 this was made with Sonar. And I wanted to share it with you.  I guess I just wanted attention. WE have a lot of snow.

We take this seriously but then again not to seriously always looking for outlets. This is only my second "sound cloud" post ever... seeing how that works.

I am using my studio for VO work and I thought this might demo my ability to talk fast clearly. I did the voice practiced and practiced to be able to do the verses in one breath. I need a few warm up runs but I can still do it.

  Life is a Rock

Last time I posted I vowed to be a great citizen of the community... Well I am not. I don't think I will be. I am so easily distracted. I wish I would I have said for a long time "Everyone should listen to new music everyday"

Like I said all this was produced in sonar and there is a thread on the sonar site called "songs" so here I am.

Peace friends all we want is to play our stuff for people 
I am learning all these new tools for exposure. its easy to get discouraged. Pretty boys we aint and when we go to the club nobody cards us.
But I do impressions so it balances out.

    Ha.. nice. The Barenaked Ladies also put out a song with a "rap" that had a similar cadence. It is not something I would attempt - i think I would pass out long before the end. .

    Thank You guys for taking the time to listen. I appreciate it.  This board is a great resource. 

     As much as we say and believe we produce cause we love to do it. 

    I get a rush out of presenting our stuff to people. I came straight to cake walk this morning to see if anybody commented.

    Thank you for time and comments

    Ken

    Reminds me a little of "We didn't start the fire" by Billy Joel (lyrics). Enjoyed the listen. Great production and mix.

    I can hear we didn't start the fire . But I am sure Mr joel took his cue from Reunion. This is 70s billy is every decade after

    here is the original Reunion - Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)

    Part of the joke of the original is that All the breaths have been edited out. I loved this song when i was a kid but trying to sing along to it every time you take a breath you get thrown off.

    Thanks for listening friend

    I agree that this is a terrific production.  I enjoyed the references to bygone names like Mumford Jerry.  Welcome to the forum, and don't be a stranger.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Thanks Lynn

    I try to check in, I am looking to increase my creative audio output. I have been a little dormant. Spending time in the forum really learning the software as opposed to trying to be intuitive. I have a sixth sense for software 

    And I am just learning sound cloud. So what ever I have to do to get hits up like now Life is a rock has 11.

    Holy crap do you believe how awesome it is that the counter does not count your own hits(ha)
