'On The Edge'
Nothing new finished at the moment so I've done a remix of this song. It's one my favourites in all the projects I've been involved in. I also thought some of newer folks may not have heard Tim Wilkinson's fine voice. https://soundcloud.com/jyemz/on-the-edge Tim Wilkinson - vocals, acoustic guitar Me - electric guitar, keyboards, mix Lyrics inspired by the book 'Weirdstone of Brisingamen' by Alan Garner The king of glass, he sleeps beneath the hill
The place is marked by an apple tree still And I have had so many names, across the ages of the earth But you can call me Cadellin, for what it's worth I'm standing at an angle to the universe On the Edge, life's on the Edge Heartstone hides an edge so fine Split the line with shards and nine Tap the time with a black flint knife Play Old Harry till it comes to life On the Edge I left them lying close apart The king of glass and his men each with a frozen heart Stone-cold effigies on the tomb of the sculptor's art Beating the bounds of the ground they keep Taking a deep breath, before they leap From the Edge, Life's on the Edge Beyond the bull-sound roar of joy Moon-lust and the fall of Troy The king of glass in his cave of gold Gains his gravity, loses his hold On the Edge

Lovely song James and so well done by the two of you as well. Tim's acoustic playing in the intro is so precision it almost sounded like midi.

Fantastic, right up my street! Everything works for me, others have commented on the fine guitar playing, but the organ/pad part just seems to lift everthing too.

I love it. What a cool song and production. So easy to get into.
I suggest you tame the sibilance a bit more. Seems like some 3K or so is jumping out.
With those peeks tamed a bit more, I could crank it up even more in my cans.

Hi James , I know how it feels to go back and redo music ..to be able to do so is a blessing  Just got done giving your newest version of the song a listen ... Your collab with Tim has come along very nicely . Your song sounds very good and I like your guitar playing on this tune Kenny

Jimmy - thanks very much! Good advice about the high end, my old ears aren't so good at picking those up.
Kenny - thank you sir! You're right, it's easy to take for granted the luxury we have of being able to go back to old projects
Tim - thanks!

Funny that you are doing this now. I'm in the middle of recreating a track I did 20 years ago, thinking it would be easy, lol.
I remember this one. It is one of my favorites of those you and Tim did together. I think the new touches you've added make the track better, without changing the overall vibe of the song. Good job on this James...
Regards,
Dan

Fantastic remix. Tom's voice always reminds me of Peter Gabriel but in this song I hear a little Paul Simon too:) Had a couple listens through and it is just great listening.

Dan - thanks very much. I only made some subtle mix changes, I was going to add some drums but it killed the mood. Less is more Mark - thanks a lot. Yes Tim has a great voice, I think this was a lower key than usual for him and it brought out a nice rasp. David - thanks, that's nice to hear. It's a favourite song of mine, love the lyrics. Tom - thank you. I do have a couple more from this project with Tim singing, maybe I'll give those a spruce up too.

Cool song. Vox reminds me a little of the Wallflowers with that deep rich texture. Everything fits the mood perfectly.

WOW!!!! This sounds great!! Loved the guitar playing!!! The vocals remind me of Sting's vocals which happens to be one of my favorite artist/songwriters/singers of all time. And I mean that as a compliment so please don't take that any other way.
Enjoyed hearing this one!

This is one of those songs that give you a lift at the beginning of the day. Everything works well together and I have to say that the vocal is especially good.

And here I was expecting a Lady Gaga remix or something... Fortunately I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked the arrangement - layers of guitar, synth pads and arps, and just a hint of percussion. It gave Tim's whispery vocal a great music bed to ride over... always interesting yet never conflicting.
