Description:
Kind of a semi-repost. I wanted to write a short instrumental segue before the final song ('Goodbye') on a CD I'm recording right now, so I came up with this. It's based on the outro riff of that song. When it was finished I edited them together to see how they connected. This is the result.

Lyrics:
Interference - Instrumental

Goodbye

There is nothing left to say
I need to get out of your way
If life is only what we make of it
Then you've got lots of it to make

You have nothing left to give
And you deserve better than this
But now there's nothing I can do for you
That won't make our lives hard to live

And I remember everything that we went through
And I remember everything I promised you
But time's caught up with me and taken that away
I'll never be with you again

You're so far away from me
There's nothing left that I can do
So I will hope and I will pray
That time will take good care of you

And I remember everything that we went through
Yes I remember all the things I promised you
But now I've gone and put those promises aside
I'll always love you, friend
Goodbye

The first &mdash 02/06/08 - 03:28:03 PM
thing that strikes me is a great production sound. Everything panned exactly where they should be and separated nicely.
I really enjoyed this the first time and still do. There really is some fantastic music here at macjams at the moment and you are part of it.
Cheers
Len

thanks len. it took a lot of mixes to get it where I wanted it, so thanks for saying that. Garageband is awesome but I can't wait to get this in the studio and really clear everything up.

Hey I think &mdash 02/06/08 - 03:57:35 PM
it segued nicely into the song, which by the way is still such a great song with a great vocal performance. Hope everything goes well in the studio.

Niiiiice! &mdash 02/07/08 - 04:58:32 PM
Love the intro section (although that kick drum sound is not really to my taste), and the segu into Goodbye works really well.
Like the vocals a lot - good words and a nice production. I especially like the way your voice and the heavy instrumentation work together - a really cool juxtaposition.
A lot of thought and time has gone into this - and it shows.

9 minutes of delight &mdash 02/07/08 - 11:19:01 PM
Personally I like long tracks like this with well drawn out jams and instrumentals. The song I'm currently working on times out over 7 min!
Liked this one from start to finish. I'll definitely have to check out your CD when it's done.

Like the &mdash 02/09/08 - 02:10:22 AM

Thanks for sharing

THanks for checking it out and commenting. I'm trying out new synth stuff now actually. I think the key is not overdoing it, which is something I have a hard time with hehe

Me like &mdash 02/12/08 - 04:38:43 PM
You are brave not to get in a hurry and that is great. Just let the music flow if it needs to and that makes it. Love the sound, the instrumental parts get me thinking of some great Smashing Pumkins songs.
Cheers to you and your ancestors!
