Description:
When Feter began his Woodstock Challenge, Patrick and I were here ... for the backstory ... go here: http://www.macjams.com/song/40886
... thank you Cat... we ask for just a taste and you gave us a 7 course feast.
Production Note: This is our guitarist "Outtaorbit"'s take on this tune and I am amazed.... thanks Patrick for a turn of the corner here. I do believe our guitarist "Orbit" took this tune to a new and wonderful place.
The mix was done to present layers of sound density to enhance the "mist" like feel of the track. Hopefully it will not induce vertigo. While the end dissolves in a rather "undramatic" way ... it was felt this was appropriate for the ambient feel of the track and we hope it does not disappoint.
We have had the fantastic experience of working with some of MJ's most active female vocalist and each time they have influenced our take on a tune and added so much more than we ever could have ask for... so sincere "hats off" to the talented female artist here ...

was on my ears all day ..such gem ..and yes Cat

davisamerica
well thanks to for the advice and guidance throughout this tune's passage from concept to two versions ... we really rely on you my brother and you never disappoint .... peace and blessings to you our friend!
drakonis
What a tease you are! So... this is a gorgeous song... parts feel very Pink Floyd-ish, lush guitars, perfect phrasing between the long slow part and the fast-sung part. My thoughts are that (1) this feels too restrained, like it wants to burst out near the end and really sweep us all away with a great build and a solid ending, but it does not, and (2) Myst's vox seem a bit muffled and not "in" with the rest of the recording. Great singing by both of you, and sweet guitar work and music writing. I would *love* to hear some more work go into this, it really deserves it!
ttfn,
Drakonis
davisamerica
is spot on ... thanks
davisamerica

Nicely written song - love the atmospheric use of various guitar sounds - and Mysti's great background vocals. Well done!
davisamerica
thank you ... very much appreciated .. patrick really pulled the atmospheric blend around cat's vocals fairly well IMHO ... all three of us say "thanks"
ktb
everything about this strikes me as brilliant. The scotish, friplike, david gilmore vocal, delicious. Hugely original. Mistified = beauteous vocal
davisamerica
... wow ... thank you ...
like feter says a real GEM, a Ruby me thinks very rare
davisamerica
and her name is cat ... we loved the way mystified added another "instrument" thru her wonderful vocals ... was the capper ... thanks man.
Very celtic sounding
Bravo
davisamerica
well u know about working with mystified .. lol .. cold and all was an amazing addition to this tune ... thanks for the listen man
echoroom
At the start, I thought this sounded like (good) U2, but you take it in a much more subtle direction. Both vocals are top notch, Mystis vox adding a gentle counterpart to the soulful main vocal. I just LOVE the guitar work on this - really well written and structured.
Just outstanding guys
steve
davisamerica

lengold

Magnificent production! This is an aural treat to be sure...
Outtaorbit's guitar work is phenomenal herein.
The vocal work---both Jacks and Cat's---is beautiful. I am blown away...even a tad envious!

Be well friends!
Outtaorbit

Diviner

Your song writing is very good davis, Recording and mixings are good too and ofcourse not amatuer.
Very well done, thanks for sharing it.
davisamerica
thank you for some very nice comments .. have listened to your "lullaby" and am now a huge fan of yours ...peace!
davisamerica2
This was very nice. I've got to learn this, and be able to play it when the batteries in my CD wear out. Gonna down load now. Batteries are getting low. Terry
davisamerica
ya know .. they sell batteries .. thanks brother
davisamerica2
This song won't. I'm gonna get a bigger tip jar. Coffee drinkers and beer drinkers will appreciate this one. Thanks Jack.
dirigent
Wonderful mix, a stunning and most beautiful track with an enchanting atmosphere. Great vocals!!!
davisamerica
great morning surprise seeing you here .. thanks for the listen ... Mystified is just an amazing talent and we were lucky she had time to have a go at this project
Go_Turtle_Go
beautiful picture! I have fallen in love with a true cherokee indian girl. and my feelings for her echoed in your song. Maybe this will be the song that reminds me of her the most. It has a Dire Straits feel to it, your calm execution of ideas is testimony of that. Vocals are crisp, a bit in the back, but mixed with madam Mystified lushes vocal stabs it does the job, very well! Glad to have found the time to listen to this. Thank you Jack for sharing this:-*)
Marc
ps; she is one of the reasons I have been away for some days;)
davisamerica
:-] ... i think you have a fantastic reason for not being here and i am pleased to hear the news .... all the best my brother and waving from the east with a smile... thanks for the listen marc!
bud
Great collab - love the guitars and vocals - well placed drums - sitars and Mysti. Everything merges in the mist.
davisamerica
"casting" ... and is true .. thanks kevin I really appreciate your input and support .. you are "the man"!
Reinholt56
This piece is, to me, instantly enjoyable.
For some (positive) reason it reminds me of a Tears for Fears arrangement, in many ways and I could hear them do this very easily.
It's an excellent piece and one that I'll listen to a good many more times before my ipod wears out.
Take care.
Paul
Outtaorbit
to rule the world
Bob Rodgers
This is one of my favs of yours and I love the vocals, really great, just superb and the guitars sound so good! A real gem here, fantastic!!
davisamerica
thank you sir! i owe you!
guitapick
...except this is exceptional...everything about it. And, as a guitarist, I must tip my hat more than a few times to Outtaorbit...sent me to some very fine places...thanks...
Outtaorbit
coming from you is the best, in a long time
thx
guitapick
...Jimi...but updated...he was my favorite...kudos
Outtaorbit
thanks.... just hit a lick every now and again...really thanks
Fourth Window
very cool intro nice melody with me being irish it has such a celtic vibe I love it! good vocals very cool mix I like the bass, it sound so nice in the back ground
Outtaorbit
thanks very much
dajama
The singing (from everybody involved!) is fantastic, and the mix is great. This does have a Pink Floydish vibe, amply helped by that terrific guitar swirling and washing around the mix. Deep bows, folks. You have created something magical. Nicely done. Peace.
davisamerica
i too am pretty pleased with the powerful addition Mystified added and as always knocked out by Patrick's abilities to soar .. and you are very kind... thanks for the comments and the listen
Vic Holman
the final cut. greatly fleshed out in arrangement and mix. on top of the vocals, the hendrix style reverse guitars is to dream for.
davisamerica
i am pretty sure Orbit's head will explode with glee at our comments ... Mystified was just the best to work with and made this tune work in a whole new direction
its really great sounds like jimmy hendrix on guitar and george harrison on sitar!!!!! vocals and lyrics by david gilmour and some great adlib type singing of a siren calling you into the mist. good song with alot of great talent contributing. great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!
davisamerica
yeah ... there went orbits head .. poof.... thank you for the listen ... am really digging your stuff here as well ... thanks
rsorensen
this is so cool. love the opening and all the atmosphere throughout. outstanding collab!
davisamerica
am gonna say thanks but really use this as a way to again tell you how cool your collab with michael2 turned out ... was a great track!!
LunaTrick
Love the vocals - your voice is so distinct Jack. You have tremendous poise in your work. Really enjoying it!
davisamerica
... wow .. comments MUCH appreciated ... thank you!
Jarvoid
Rolf Harris meets Yes meets etc etc...A masterly and atmospheric piece ,song ,tune with many and varied nods to varying genres.The beginning reminds me of Rolfs' "Sunarise" without the clicksticks and then it segues into all sorts of generic twists and turns........oooh dear ,this is getting a bit Poncey......look it's a great song worthy of wider broadcast...........
Jarvoid
davisamerica
now how did you know orbit's middle name?? thanks for taking the time to listen!
Bowman
has a quiet understated strength that I liked.
Well done.
Charlie
davisamerica

judge celtic because ANYTHING celtic I love. Must be the Scotish/Irish blood trickling over. That being said this is awesome! Fantastic collaboration - bravo!
davisamerica
whot is celtic anyway??? was gonna go with Polka .. but patrick said no ... thanks man .. much appreciated
paul f. page
...sublime recording/composition. You have orchestrated this lyric with such care and thoughtfulness. The effect is one that draws the listener into the depths of the music rather than just as a spectator. One of the very best tracks I've hear at MJ. Congratulations to you both on such a wonderful performance and recording.
Peace.
Paul
davisamerica
wow and wow .. have sent you a personal note .... thank you!

davisamerica
thank you char .. very nice comments and thanks from us!
evolvweb
Davis man this rocks! I don't know how I missed this but I love it!!! I know some people hate pop artist comparisons but this to the level and quality of Peter Gabriel mixed with some Pink Floyd.
This is my kind of music...wish I could have had a hand in it with you. Maybe next time.
I look forward to hearing more like this from ya!
Tobin
davisamerica

I was just fumbling through and I'm so glad I found this tune. It's very 1990's Pink Floyd in nature. Fabulous!
KS
davisamerica

SJB
I can't believe I've only just found this after all these months. Amazing sound. The atmosphere is fantastic. I hear sitars on this which (bizarrely!) go with the Celtic feel perfectly.
nice job guys!
