Description:
This is the first in a project of remastering a lot of the old songs with Logic. This song just never had the clarity to make it really enjoyable, the bass was too weak, the vocals needed work and the lead guitar was to trebly...hopefully it sounds a lot better now. As always, advice on the mix is appreciated. Chris and I wrote and played this one over some beers. Strangely David Bowie'ish and nice and psychedelic. Chris (Lyrics, Guitar, Vocals) Rich (Bass, Drums, Mix) Lyrics:
An Acre of GreenLyrics: Chris Winters Music: Rich Huston and Chris Winters We were lying on the grass / And we were holding hands The clouds were drifting past / We dreamed of different lands Tracing figures in the sky / Before the sun went down The clouds would disappear, and / The green would turn to brown We later went away / Into our separate lives Never had the time / To watch the clouds go by In the murkiness of dream / Something still lies buried deep A memory of green / Infiltrates our sleep It’s easy not to think too hard Of where it all comes from Did it spring up just like weeds in the rain? Let’s just take this one canard Hold it tight and close Don't ask me what it costs or who’ll pay, or when. My mother had one and my father had one and My brother had one and my sister had one and I’ll have one, I think I want one Now here’s a funny question / Would you have ever known That you would have an acre / Of green to call your own? We all have all the same things / We lie upon the grass We planted in the ground / So time would never pass ----------------------------------- An Acre of Green Intro (2x, 1st w/ rh. gtr, 2nd time with drums, bass & lead): E C E C G F C D Verse I E C E C G F C D Verse II E C E C G F C D E Chorus E G C B E CB E G C B E CB G / Bb / Am / C / D / D / Eb Intermezzo (per verse, w/ riff) Verse III (per verse) Chorus Solo/Bridge (e) F#m (e) G# (e) A (e) Bb-B (e) F#m (e) G# (e) A (e) Bb-B (e) F#m (e) G# (e) A (e) Bb-B (e) F#m (e) G# (e) A (e) B B Chorus Chorus (pos. 5c for final post-chorus) E Hardware:
