Space Grunge Rock - Remix 30 March

A little while a go I got a message from Phil asking if all was OK as I had not posted anything recently well....

I present with the golden vocal chords of our very own Julibee    

Remix version Pieces (On the Floor)    

Original is still there for comparison   

The Lyric (By Julibee)

Pieces

(Where are you when I’m here?)
I can’t do this anymore
Leave your pieces on the floor
Hit me running with your lies
(Where are you when I’m gone?)
And I’m no good with goodbyes
(Where are you?)

How long did you think I’d be standing by your side?
How long did you think I could take it all in stride?
How far could you push me how far would it go?
What else could you say to me and what else should I know?

(Where are you when I’m here?)
I can’t do this anymore
Just leave your pieces on the floor
Hit me running with your lies
(Where are you when I’m gone?)
And I’m no good with goodbyes
(Where are you?)

I tried to heal you I tried to feel you I tried to love you

It’s all over but the crying all over but the tears
Its all over for the laughter all over for me, dear
Take your endless sighing your hopelessness and fears
Take your lies and whispers and walk away from here

(Where are you when I’m here?)
I can’t do this anymore
Just leave your pieces on the floor
Hit me running with your lies
(Where are you when I’m gone?)
And I’m no good with goodbyes
(Where are you?)

I can’t do this anymore
Just leave the pieces on the floor
No more running with your lies


Music etc by The Wookiee

All comments etc. welcome Julibee and I already have some ideas we just want to see what you good peeps think.

Cheers

Well, this is something unexpected from you John and it's really good.  Had a definite "Hawkwind" vibe to the muisic.

 Julies vocals are a really nice contrast to the grungy backing track and it all works very well together. Julie is one very versatile singer, as this track proves.

Interesting and intelligent lyrics by Julie as always.

Great work both.

Phil: Thank you, your push was appreciated.  The track was more or less complete,  Julibee proved what a true talent she is.

John: True a nod to Lemmy, Dave and Nick is more than appropriate many hazy days passed with their help.  Thanks appreciate the listen and the comment.

Jan:  Thanks for the listen

Thanks to all the others who listened and a big thanks to Julibee who made it work.


Edit: Wookiee to Human translation failure plus I can not spell

  This is a delight to me being an old Sci-fi fan; this well crafted piece manages to be both retro and futuristic at the same time. Love the melodies, the well crafted sounds and lovely voice. Reminds me of the good old days when woman in space all wore miniskirts and matching panties that you got to see a lot.. Loved it you 2

I like it, but the mix seems really muddy, to me. I think the vocals could stand out a lot more without changing the 'space grunge' vibe. Other than that, I think it's pretty cool!

This is so 80s Blondie ...Debbie Harry meets Julibee ...meets a yamaha dx7


I creamed my jeans

I like it 

Thank you Mooch no stains I hope.

Thank you Lynn I am just having a little look at some subtle changes to the mix but I may well just leave it alone.

Thanks James my past is catching up with me.

Love the arrangement/production...  Great rhythm track... nice orchestration... I like the vocal, but it seems a little dry and it could benefit from some pitch correction... well done guys & gals...

Thank you Ed appreciated.

Frank glad you enjoyed, perhaps, but have a listen to the Remix see what you think cheers

Bob something a little different please you listened and thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks to all the others who listened and did not comment.  

There is a remix See link above or first post) up now with the original for comparison.

All comments welcome this is my first attempt with a good singer, Wookiee fur makes for thick skin so all crits and comments welcome.


Thanks again.

Thanks Frank, just a touch but both Julibee and I are happy with it .  Cheers for the second listen and comment.

Interesting use of synths. I would mix those drums up a bit and put some more snap on that snare. I was unaware that this genera existed ;-)

Thanks Robby for the listen and comment though I feel I should say it is mainly real live have to play them type Guitar. 
I used my Les Paul, which I made about thirty+ years ago, and a Fender Stratocaster both going through different Guitar rig 5 patches.  Bass provided by Novation KS Rack and a Roland JV 1080, squirly bit from a Roland JP8080, drums as noted above.  I have no idea what Julibee used for her recording chain.

The whole thing was then mixed in SONAR X2 Producer using no third party FX other than Guitar Rig 5. 



Not sure the genera does exist I just thought it sounded Grungy in a Space rock way.

I'll give you an A for experimentation, which is lost these days.
years ago everyone experimented, they were innovators.
you don't see it as much these days as music has become more commericialized, I mean it always has but not like the cookie cutter music I hear on the radio now a day.

the mix didn't seem clear and powerful, but I cant really say much, im having problems myself lately in this area as ive gone back to the drawing board.

it was interesting and I liked it, I even looked for the first mix after listening to this mix but it has been removed(probably by yourself after posting this one)

I didn't think it sounded like space grunge, it was creative and almost uncatagorizable.
which I think is wonderful, unique. original.

Hi John & Julibee,

Hey, this is really cool. And also really unexpected...very nice.

Although I kinda agree with some of the crits/suggestions made by previous posters the overall retro coolness of the tune works for me.

I'm really digging the remix of this John. 

Since James mentioned the "Curved Air" vibe, i'm getting that too. I loved their early stuff. 

You're playing some lovely melodic bass runs in this that really enhance the track.

Jules does a great job as usual. I think some occasional spacey-type echo on some of her words word enhance the spacey vibe.

Great job, both of you.
