Still Driften (a slightly different take on it)
As Ed said, he enjoyed Gary's original version as did we all. And he wrote some words, but I was not feeling it. He did a re-write which I thought was really good? (and it is) In the course of laying it down, I tinkered a bit. I re-recorded his tracks much closer to what he wanted and hope he puts that edited version up. This is what I did based on his interpretation of Gary's wonderful tune. Some of the words and phrasing is different, and overall melody and structure. It builds a pretty strong Eagles vibe. I didn't do that intentionally? However, there are a major influence on my music. I am honored that they allowed me to participate and contribute. https://soundcloud.com/rockinrobby/still-driften

:-) I'm over committed. I just finished the redo for Ed, and I'm doing two w/Mr. Markno999 (the slave driver... a.k.a. Mr "DO IT TILL YOU GET IT RIGHT! a.k.a, I heard a "I heard a semi hemi demi quaver that was slightly out of place, DO IT AGAIN!! a.k.a., 'It sounds like you're grabbing your ba!!$ (how does he know this?) DO IT AGAIN!!" right now, then I'm free?
And this is a bad work week, the new job's a hassle and the kids got the flu but it's been sure nice talkin with you Jim? It's been sure nice talkin to you.

Love the harmonies, main vocal melody much clearer. Much better, great job. Really great lyrics, if I didn't know any better I would say ED is a country boy.

This is very professional and cool. I loved the Eagles, too. It seems a bit long, but I don't know what's planned for this. Way to go!

To me this sounds much more like Marty Robbins than the Eagles. Very much Marty Robbins.
I like it. The harmonies and lead vocal is really very nicely done. Nice collaboration. Great tune and melody and and excellect production on this. Lynn may have a point, I would shorten the steel guitar break and add a little more busyness on the steel guitar break or perhaps do it as a bridge in different chords that resloves back to the verse or chorus. Just a thought.
Great job guys.

As I said in my Coffee House Collaborators "We Drift Apart" thread, this was not a competition and I respect Robby's desire to complete his vision/version of the song.
Thanks again Robby for all your patience and hard work. It is much appreciated.

Thanks Ed, and yes, I agree. It's really just two different sides of the same coin. Thanks for letting me help flip it! (I'm a fan of tails myself... Butt who didn't see THAT coming!?) :-)

Thanks Grant :-) I like the harmonies too :-) Like I said, it's just a flip side of the same coin. I like all 3, Gary's original, Ed's version, and mine. Great song, thank you for listening and for commenting.

I think it was Ed who said something like Robby could sing the phone book and make it sound good  , so give the man two cracks at a a classy, well produced ballad and he's just gonna' shine. I've heard both, and I really like both. Good listening all the way.

Right on. I like this. Much prefer the vocal styling here (the other one was sterile IMO). The slide guitar set my teeth on edge much like fingernails on a blackboard, but slide guitars do that to me regardless of who is playing it. I do like the equal voicing between it and you though.

Have you heard the re-tracked vocals on the other from two days ago, yet? And again, this is not a competition. I agree the first take on the other version was sterile as Robby was not quite into what I was wanting and I had to do serious edits to get it closer to my "vision". His re-tracked vocals are right on as well as being stellar here too.

They're both Great? Listen to both? :-) Bapu is a great producer? I like my stuff too? My version is my take on it? It's a little different? But hey? We're all producers... Ed is a great producer! It's just different sides of the same Fraking coin!!

I have not listened to the other new mix yet, no. Please make no mistake. I was not talking about Ed's production skills here. It is about Robby's flow as a vocalist.

It's all good :-) I love Ed, and he love me :-) Thanks buddy. Well.. I may love Ed more in a "1st night in prison?" kind of way? But that doesn't mean I don't still love him? I really feel for him? ED! OVER HERE! I'm sorry for that right there Lord.

Well, I listened to both back to back (flipped between them to hear certain parts) and, sadly, the mix is part of the problem on Eds song. However, there were a couple of moments on Eds song, when you fihished a phrase near the middle that had much more impact than the same moment in your mix. I will try to nail it down if you wish.

Hi Robby, Another awesome job on the lead and harmony vocals, arrangement, production, etc, etc... I'm not gonna get dragged into a 'which version is better' argument because I'm pretty sure it's not a competition...I could be wrong, though Please bear in mind that the two versions are NOT a competition.

It's been hard for me to get passed Gary's excellent song/production as It's engrained in my brain.
All these attempts to add words and altered melodies seems to fall short to me.
But Robbaaay, You did sing the **** out of this here.. Great vocs...

Lovely song, beautifully sung. Everything sounds great, I hear more vintage country than Eagles though. In a good way.

It is not about competition. It is about arriving at the best possible song, and I believe that can be accomplished with a little give and take. Each track has its merits and each track has its weaknesses. But I think if you can find the middle ground, you will have a song that will be memorable (and saleable - yes I am a capitalist... sue me  ).
