Twilight Rain

this is a song i wrote some years ago, that i revised for my last album.

it's a somewhat autobiographical tune..
it blends acoustic and electric guitars, with harmony vocals and bass guitar, but no percussion of any kind.

i used every guitar i have on this one (Williams strat-paul hybrid, carvin dc200k, usacg strat, ibanez artist, taylor 414 and seagull artist mosiac)

a soft ballad, that is a bit trippy......

Songs like this are the reason that I keep coming back to this forum day after day.  This is an absolute gem.  Never has your voice sounded more like Jon Anderson, and the whole song has that feel of Yes.  Yet, this is totally your own.  Your mastery of singing, playing, writing, and producing just gets better all the time.

I got your new CD awhile ago and have worn out the "Batsblues" track and right after it "Twilight Rain".  These are going on the mountain mp3 as soon as I get off my keester.  THIS IS A GREAT TUNE!  It also has the vibe of David Crosby's Album ( it was an album when I had it) "If I could Only Remember My Name", yet totally different.  How can that be?  You got me!!  If I knew how I'd do it.  I'm listening to this song now and am going out to the car to get the CD and load it into my mp3 player. 

Good stuff, beautiful guitar work. I think I remember you from the Vsplanet forum. Did you record this on the vs2400 by any chance?

Sounds good here and I agree the vocal is very Jon Anderson and a Yes vibe to the track.

Good stuff

Beautiful song and sounds

Great track! The guitars sound awesome. I'll say it has 80's pop influences?

Beautiful!  Guitars, vocals, bass...all sound great!

When I saw the title, I realized that a song about rain in the midwest would probably be a hard rock song, celebrating the end of the drought.  

But that's rather off-topic...just sayin'.  lol

thanks for listening.....it's very kind of you to say those things...
i have to agree, a lot of what i hear at songs forum is pretty inspiring.
plus, it's a great place to steal ideas!!
LOL

"batsblues", heheh, i had to go back and look at my track notes to remember which song you were referring to, the "Waiting to Shine" tune....!
"if i could only remember my name", man, i remember that song, i haven't thought about crosby (as a solo) in a long time, now i'm gonna have to go stream some "freak folk", yes sir.

thanks clint....
yes, i've been a member of the vsplanet forum since 1999.
i was a moderator of a couple of the sub forums for quite a while....

but no, i moved to 100% sonar about 2007, and recorded all of my most recent album using Sonar 6PE and a custom built PC.
i DID record most all of my first album using a roland VS1880.

thanks for listening, and commenting.

thanks chewy, maybe if i juxtoposed some 5/8 drum parts across the top of the 4/4, it would sound more Yes-like.
LOL
