Description:
No Way Out (the Shadows) w/Michael2 and Alannah)
[Completely inspired by michael2’s “reveres folk”]

http://www.macjams.com/song/36290


I like finding ways to jam here on Mjs.
This time it was the newly founded
‘Workbench’.
A post left for grabs by Michael2 called ‘reveres folk’ caught my ear, and well, I couldn’t shake it. Imbedded in my brain, his melodies kept going on and on in my head,… still do.

So

I added some stuff then called on Alannah.
And man, she put the finishing pieces to the puzzle. Just the way I imagined it.
but
Better! Way better!!
Thank U Alannah for your signature vocal and additional lyrics
And Thank You Michel2 for ‘reverse folk’ and for your good spirit
peace

All the elements coalesce into something haunting and somehow spiritual. The voices are the key. There is resonance between the voices, almost like an ethereal dialogue. I like all the sounds; nothing is superfluous. Beautiful. Peace.

You have used such perfect words to describe this tune. I give most of the credit to Michael2 for his inspirational 'revere folk'
but spiritual and ethereal are such great descriptions for how it felt to create this/'No Way Out' version
Thank You
HH

Fantastic use of the three voices, this drifts like something heard in a dream, forming and collapsing. Great stuff guys.

Sgt. Peppers? &mdash 12/09/07 - 07:03:11 AM
With the oriental sounds and dreamy mood this takes me straight back to the Beatles and their psychedelic and eastern period.

Cool with all he echo's on the voices, and the floating feel of this.

Could be a lost track from sgt. peppers...

THE BEATLES! &mdash 12/10/07 - 12:48:10 AM
I wanted to be a Beatle
at times (in my room when nobody was home)I was a Beatle
/OK,You got me, I still want to be a Beatle
I am a huge Beatle fan and working on this made me think Beatles a few times, funny?
Just came out that way!
I think 'The Beatles' is in me/us...all of us...
sometimes it just pours out
thanks for that reference to Sgt Pepper
i missed the deadline for the LSP

Nice one! &mdash 12/09/07 - 10:34:02 AM
This is a genre I usually don't listen but I'm really enjoying the organic feel. I love the mid-eastern style going on. A very peaceful tune, until the end, where it gets a little spooky.

Overall, VERY relaxing. Awesome collab.

Thanks for the DL.

Peace.

nice take &mdash 12/09/07 - 07:36:45 PM
on this one, very dreamy. i am going to have a go at finishing this one myself. although for the record: it's "Reverse Folk" as in I reversed the gtr track, and it has a folk feel to it. great job guys.

stamp me embarased &mdash 12/10/07 - 01:19:23 AM
I would love to hear that guitar track before it was reversed.

Thanks once again for your post on the 'workbenck'

"Dear Prudence" meets the Fritters?

Beautiful and haunting collab folks! Love the guitar picking. Love the three vocal tracks. Love the mix. Love it!

Be well all!

Dreamy &mdash 12/10/07 - 02:26:17 PM
Like the picture you posted with this, it paints a surreal landscape. As if spirits floating in the mist trying to connect but never connecting.

Nice mood creation. I can imagine you adding some swamp slide guitar in here too for an added effect.

Nice creation Tim.

and some of you guys too... of course.....nice tune, makes me warm and sleepy all over. which is a good thing, cause i am having trouble sleeping lately..

What a great track - and inspired collab. Great space and feeling - the balance is perfect.

You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key


Too cool.

Hey Bud &mdash 12/10/07 - 09:19:01 PM
Get me out of this Traffic Jam.
Second traffic reference...
such a complement!
Thanks for giving a listen.
thoddi said this should have been LSP for St Pepper?
maybe 'John Barleycorn' is more like it.
remember...what a huge record...
there are no more huge records anymore
turntables are a big thing this holiday season...
go figure



[ Reply to This ]
Traffic is cool and Barleycorn's a great &mdash 12/11/07 - 06:58:39 PM
record - but my reference is too the all time killer Blind Faith.

drifty and swirly. kinda ghostly too. and they tend to hide in fog pretty well. Nice take on this!

I was pondering .... &mdash 12/12/07 - 08:26:41 PM
... what the etiquette was on commenting on a song that someone else did that one was on .. but didn't post cause it was posted on their page ... does one comment or not comment .... but Tim had his hands full with this one cause he was forced to remix my vocal tracks which I sent to him all plumped up with reverb...echo... and panning ..... not to mention preset vols .... I don't like anyone to hear this eerie type of vocals dry .. hahahahahaha

[ Reply to This ]
hey man &mdash 12/13/07 - 12:34:59 AM
on my page, there is one etiquette / you are part of the post/posting party for sure.
You helped make this a work/so that I could put the stamp on.
The tracks you sent me were like liquid gold. they flowed right in to the sculpture of the song.
thanks

Barely there &mdash 12/19/07 - 03:01:53 PM
This is music on the verge of dissolving.....
Beautiful and vaporous.
You're working on a very high plane these days, Tim.

All the best,

[ Reply to This ]
Remarkable &mdash 12/22/07 - 08:46:29 PM
You have some pretty standard vocals here, and the rest of the instruments are sort of tugging at the fabric. The whole thing is always just at the edge of unraveling, but it doesn't quite.

My compliments for making such a mix work. Really cool track.



[ Reply to This ]
personally... &mdash 12/22/07 - 10:04:36 PM
i thought of pink floyd before i thought of the beatles. i really do like the overlapping voices, very cool.

[ Reply to This ]
Enjoyed &mdash 01/09/08 - 01:43:08 PM
Trippy. Like the backwards background. Give it nice texture. I can feel it.

I know this Really rare Beatle outtake called "Pink Litmus Test", reminds me of that.

Introspective &mdash 01/22/08 - 06:15:16 PM
What a finely crafted introspective piece. I love the panning effects. Reminds me of late Beatles. Do I hear a sitar?

Your words are hard to understand sometimes, but maybe that's on purpose, to give the song a mournful quality.

I love all the guitar layers. Cool.

You've got quite a few vocal layers going here. This must have taken quite a while to put together. Well worth it.

Bass player is understated, but his talent shines through anyhow.

[ Reply to This ]
A great collab &mdash 01/23/08 - 08:57:32 AM
This is wonderful, Tim. Michael2'ssoundbed is the perfect vehicle for Alannah's great voice, which reminds m of Daisy DeBolt; it has such a gypsy feel to it. Everything blends. Totally ethereal and mesmerizing.

[ Reply to This ]
That's IT .... &mdash 03/02/08 - 01:12:58 AM
.. now I gotta google Daisy DeBolt .... a new one to add to the mix .....

Thanks very much for such a great comment.
Alannah and Mike had everything to do with this /also/ a true product of MacJams.
You got to love what she sent as a vocal part where it fades out she whispers I'm here, I'm here......
she is so cool
thanks again for visiting
