Description:
A Lost song from a "solo" artist who seeked spirituality in his life. Overlooked or forgotten during final mixing. Oh well, that's in the past.
This would be a period in time when pop rock songs were still played on AM radio.
Lyrics:
Inner Light
traveling down this worn out road again
picking up pieces scattered around my sin
searching for the inner light
a little trip in my mind
searching for the inner light
a little piece in my life
don't forget all the memories you see
listen to everything you have been they say
searching for the inner light
a little trip in my mind
searching for the inner light
a little piece in my life
there's a bridge on this path
crossing over leaving the past
there's a light at the end of the road that's where i need to go
on my cloud above it all blue skies
i see my life now guided by my inner light
searching for the inner light
a little trip in my mind
searching for the inner light
a little piece in my life

soon as you started playing it was obvious: George Harrison. would this be all things must pass? nice song and everything sounds great (as always). nice one Vic (really like that bridge). [ Reply to This ]
A little "Happy You" :-) &mdash 12/05/07 - 10:59:36 PM
And The Traveling Willburys :-) running down a new dream - learning to fly - nothin' but blue skies... peace, Bro :-) Another "Happy Tune", but my favorite will always be "Without The Sun" ( Love is... the best inspiration. :-) ) Some feathers in one's pocket - always a blessing.

Hi Carole &mdash 12/06/07 - 09:18:36 PM
think a little earlier then T.W.'s But the sound is a lot the same when we look back at them. [ Reply to This ]
Tough call &mdash 12/05/07 - 11:43:42 PM
My first impression was Tom Petty, but then parts sound very George Harrison. I'm stumpt. [ Reply to This ]
Oh yeah &mdash 12/05/07 - 11:44:52 PM
Forgot to mention that I really like the song! Also, really super great graphic. [ Reply to This ]
Hi Dave &mdash 12/06/07 - 09:23:07 PM
seems the two are a a lot alike in a lot of ways.
The art here as well as my avatar I created in Freehand. I prefer it over Illustrator. Sad that Adobe is going to trash it after the buy out. [ Reply to This ]
Rockin &mdash 12/06/07 - 12:56:54 AM
I agree with Bud, sounds like V. Holman to me .. second guess would be Tom Petty. Whatever, great song, nice and short but chock full o goodies! [ Reply to This ]
ah, it sucks &mdash 12/06/07 - 09:28:20 PM
when I can't impersonate voices. I'll make an excuse and say this artist had a cold or something during recording [ Reply to This ]
Vic you &mdash 12/06/07 - 02:28:54 AM
really capture those sounds of yesteryear - really enjoyed the listen. Sounds like George to me too.
Cheers

Vic Floyd now it's time for Vic Harrison... There's more than a bit of Tom Petty in there as well. As to which album... It's not Wonderwall Music (which is the only George Harrison album I'm familiar with). There is a bit of Badfinger also - but they were very Beatlesque.
Killer tune as ever Vic.

Thanks guys &mdash 12/08/07 - 03:23:28 PM
Great song &mdash 12/06/07 - 07:22:25 AM
That descending Bm progression confirms that it must be George Harrison-one of my favorite guitarists.Excellent song,vocals and guitar work. [ Reply to This ]
Hi Mark &mdash 12/06/07 - 09:35:48 PM
by now you've realized I like those descending notes. A trademark of this artist as well.
Note to self: work on ascending progressions [ Reply to This ]
funny thing &mdash 12/06/07 - 08:06:24 AM
when i listen to alot of these songs, it begs the question; why arent you writing songs like this all the time? this is very good, and could still be relevant on the radio. this is a very good direction for you, i think.
Allen [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Allen &mdash 12/08/07 - 03:20:45 PM
Once in a while I'll do something a long this line. I just like to mix it up a bit. To many influences over the years. ya know [ Reply to This ]
Lit up &mdash 12/06/07 - 10:27:24 AM
That guitar solo must be inspired by the artist you are emulating because it is an uncommon VH solo, I know the clues are there...GH is the obvious choice but if not him then who? Lovely anywho... [ Reply to This ]
very true &mdash 12/06/07 - 09:41:32 PM
the solo is modeled after some of the songs of the album I'm comping. A clean tone through the neck pickup of my semi hollow body electric. really has a different tone. It was nice to finally find a place to put it. [ Reply to This ]
Really &mdash 12/06/07 - 11:29:22 AM
excellent song with great production (how do you get that volume?), so well played ,sung and arranged..... and I think I'd have to go with George Harrison too, M [ Reply to This ]
volume &mdash 12/07/07 - 09:01:07 PM
nice compressors and eq'ing for the most part. Plus, when i pan a track often I need to move parts of the pan field slightly to make room or avoid stepping on toes of other frequencies. clean tones work best as well. I do effects through a efx pedal board going in, so I know exactly how each track is sounding compared to the previously recorded tracks. Then I set a limiter at the end but don't boost it. [ Reply to This ]
All Vics Must Pass... &mdash 12/06/07 - 02:12:45 PM
Nice GH-ish tune bro...Or is this the ghost of GH doing VH for LSP?
I agree with Mr. Wounded re the "uncommon" (for VH) guitar solo. Quite a departure from the type of licks you usually deliver, but exceptionally DELICIOUS nonetheless...
Not really sure which album, as the lyrics are full of red herrings...
Be well bro! [ Reply to This ]
I did some careful.... &mdash 12/07/07 - 09:12:26 PM
listening on tones for the solo. Tried a few different guitars and amp models. And funny enough found that the same amp model and guitar I used for the electrics worked best. But with the neck pick up instead. And used a herrin as a pick. :-) [ Reply to This ]
When I first heard this &mdash 12/06/07 - 04:20:12 PM
I thought it was Cat Stevens, but it is too electric for Cat. Also everyone is so sure its George Harrison, although Tom Petty is a good guess as him and GH were really good friends and influenced each other. This track for me is harder then the first one you submitted for LSP.
The quality of all the elements of this track are very good. Everything from the lyrics to the production are great. Well done Vic. [ Reply to This ]
i think &mdash 12/09/07 - 12:59:18 PM
a lot of musicians learned a lot from G.H. You can hear in Tom Petty's music quite true. [ Reply to This ]
pass/fail? &mdash 12/06/07 - 05:54:56 PM
after just 3 seconds: George Harrison - My Sweet Lord
nice one
& i like the upside down song pic
so i guess it's missing from All Things Must Pass. [ Reply to This ]
Vic! &mdash 12/06/07 - 09:21:06 PM
Always a great song Tom Petty comes to mind but then it dont matter excellent!!!!!! [ Reply to This ]
Yup &mdash 12/07/07 - 12:07:20 AM
I hear Harrison in this one. As to the album, well.....maybe I'll come back. Stunningly good job!!!! Really liked how this sounded.
Thanks!!

Gotta be David Seville! &mdash 12/07/07 - 11:10:00 AM
...who, incidently, was also know as a member of an English group (commonly known as the Beatles) under the name of George Harrison. Seville was known for recording many different styles of music under many different names, many of whom are still undiscovered or disputed. There were many hints here and there in his music (if you play 'Alvin's Harmonica' backwards while watching The Wizard Of Oz, the flying monkeys will appear to say 'Bagdasarian' in Swedish)
Living all these double lives came to affect Seville, however, and he increasingly became more spiritual - which showed in his music. Eventually he 'killed off' all of his alter egos - or most, experts are still unsure about a few - and continued with the George Harrison personna until the end.
I'm going to hell, aren't I? [ Reply to This ]
Yes Rik &mdash 12/07/07 - 09:22:23 PM
you are going to hell in a hand basket. With your little dog, too.
As we all know, David Seville lives in a retirement home now, gnashing his dentures on table legs. Only to scream from his nightmares "Alvin!!!" He doesn't realize that all three chipmunks have been dead and buried in a shoe box for years now. It would crush his spirit. [ Reply to This ]
&mdash 12/07/07 - 01:40:38 PM
Lovely!
It's all been said already so I've nothing intelligent to add. [ Reply to This ]
~ &mdash 12/07/07 - 04:50:37 PM
Still no clue... &mdash 12/07/07 - 07:25:29 PM
thought I'd come back for another try at figuring this out. The opening guitar riff sounds way too familiar. It brought memories of listening on the AM radio in the car when we'd take family trips. (it's funny you mention the AM radio thing in the comments) I can hear that riff continuing, but can't remember anything else about that song. Was it Badfinger maybe? Nice tune as always, Vic! [ Reply to This ]

Well No Wonder(wall) it was lost... &mdash 12/07/07 - 11:19:55 PM
George previously used the title ( *The Inner Light* ) for the flip-side of Lady Madonna when he was still a Beatle.
Really impressive. A great-sounding tune, Vic.
Can I call on you when I do a Beatles tribute song? I've asked McCartney to help, but he doesn't seem to be answering my calls. ;)
--- Joe [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Joe &mdash 12/08/07 - 03:27:28 PM
It now can be revealed.
I shortened the title. I thought that would give a clue to the artist.
And yeah I do at times carry on the George banner. Funny....Paul never returns my calls either. what's up with that? [ Reply to This ]
damn nabbit &mdash 12/08/07 - 07:52:47 PM
the only one I get and like a million others guessed it 1st. well done. a true contender for the digital re master they'll do when they want to spark some sales. you may be doing an emulation but its Vic all the way. solid [ Reply to This ]
NOW &mdash 12/08/07 - 10:22:02 PM
..if only Paul or Ringo would give me that dream job.....I can flash a peace sign as well. [ Reply to This ]
You nailed the guits Vic! &mdash 12/09/07 - 12:21:54 AM
Sounds like Harrison with the Wilburys - keep waiting for Petty to jump in.
Great stuff!
Neil [ Reply to This ]
Petty who? &mdash 12/09/07 - 01:03:01 PM
I kept this under 3 minutes, like in the old am radio days, so it was over before anyone could jump in. well, except Ringo, who sat in, he never leaves his drum stool. [ Reply to This ]
bang!! &mdash 12/09/07 - 01:53:35 PM
way to start off with one, vic.
8)
those sweet slidy touches are very nice.
"there's a light at the end of the road that's where i need to go"
MAN! that hit me over my ears' head with a ball peen hammer.
loved that.
i think you held back a little mix-wise on the backing.
i'd up the volume there, and mix your vocal with a different effect to separate the 2. (just my notsohumbleopinion)
what about "crosses over, leaves the past" as a slimmer lyric?
i applaud your subject matter - it was where i needed to go.
i enjoyed this song.
and am grateful for your continued listens - apparently you are not a score keeper. thank gawd!

Thanks Anne &mdash 12/10/07 - 08:25:40 PM
At the very beginning there are four slides then two for the rest playing in harmony thats the george secret.
I was considering adding another two vocal backups. But, wasn't sure, or to lazy. I think I will readdress that and also try the line you have suggested as well. I think you are right!
P.S. you should never have a ball peen hammer around a computer! ;-) [ Reply to This ]
Hey Vic &mdash 12/10/07 - 09:09:22 AM
Actually, my wife pointed this one to me, recently. It just takes me longer to get back in touch than it used to!
Yeah, I agree with the Harrison connection!
But, essentially Vic!
Peace,
Doug [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Doug &mdash 12/10/07 - 08:32:16 PM
When I first learned to play guitar way back when. It was Beatle George that I learned from first. No tabs back in those days you just had to play along. It's fun to go back and realize what made you want to play in the first place.
Killer new track of yours Doug. [ Reply to This ]
Awesome Vic &mdash 12/11/07 - 01:01:19 AM
I've really been bad with guessing an artist for these LSPs and especially with this song. I'm glad I read the comments first to find whose lost song this is, cuz the artist I picked was not the one you performed.
And what a performance!! Awesome Awesome Performance!! [ Reply to This ]
Although .. &mdash 12/11/07 - 04:31:19 AM
.. there's alot of Harrison in this. I get an overall
sound more akin to The Byrds .. with a hint of Tom Petty.
Awesome. Enough mix of influences to make this fresh and interesting - so I agree with Allen, this song-writing approach could bring some major commercial success...
might just require a slight modermization of sounds used here and there, while retaining that retro sound.
Well done Vic, brilliant mix, great vocals and guitars in particular. [ Reply to This ]
Great &mdash 12/11/07 - 10:46:14 AM

I am glad you liked it. I wasn't sure if I was going to post this song at all. But then I thought it shouldn't let it go. otherwise i would over forgotten about it. [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Alan &mdash 12/11/07 - 09:17:24 PM
Well the Byrds listened to the beatles, and the beatles listened to the byrds and petty listened to them all. then i listened to petty. so yes there is a melting pot i think to this subtle style. there is sure to be influence to me from all three. i think they are a great source of how to build a song, [ Reply to This ]
And George it is &mdash 12/11/07 - 12:52:31 PM
I also find some Tom Petty - your voice and the rocking feel of it gives me that feeling.
But a very good song, and great playing. [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Thor &mdash 12/11/07 - 09:34:18 PM
this is one of those type of songs where George and T. Petty left of at. that's the way i figure it and once in a while i try and carry on a little bit of it. [ Reply to This ]
Ahhhhh... &mdash 12/13/07 - 03:11:31 AM
GH &mdash 12/14/07 - 09:12:46 PM
In a testament to your great guitar tone ear and abilities. I got this LSP in about 3 seconds. It's gotta be Harrison. And you totally nailed it. But the vocals do sound more like Tom Petty, but what can ya do, ya know?
Nice Work Vic,

Very nice &mdash 12/20/07 - 09:55:21 PM
and a great tribute to the musical style of GH as well as a lyrical tribute to his overall niceness. Great variety of guitar sounds here and lovely vocal. Very cool. Nice work. Peace. [ Reply to This ]
