Description:
Following on from the song 'Rainy Day' I posted for the MacJams Coffee House, Birdman Wayne suggested that a guitar solo would be a nice addition - there was a natural space in the song (for that purpose) - so, very kindly, Yeman (Birdman Wayne) sent me the two solos on this version. I added an couple of additional guitars and bass guitar - the drums are from Discrete Drums.
I'd like the thank Yeman for his fabulous contribution - he is a very gifted guitarist.
Hardware:
Taylor 110, Old Yamaha 12-string, Epiphone Les Paul plus Yeman's guitar. AKG condenser mic.
Software:
Boss BR1600/II and Garageband

Yeeee-HAH! &mdash 06/16/08 - 01:07:03 PM
Thank you Mike! &mdash 06/16/08 - 01:32:34 PM
You were really quick... delighted you liked it even more than the original... and it's my first collaboration too! Looking forward to doing some more!

Missed the first one &mdash 06/16/08 - 01:39:37 PM
But soooo glad I caught this one... this is PERFECT for a little coffee house number, as I always remember coming in out of the cold damp evenings in London to some warm little shop, and I can just imagine you in there playing this... it fits right in. I love the tune and lyrics, very smooth song-smithing here, and gorgeous singing and guitar playing. Of course, Yeman's guitar work in the middle was just perfect, skillful and tasteful. On headphones, it seemed that the rhythm guitar was off to the left a little too far, but that's about the only critique I have (perhaps do the double-the-track and spread-it trick to keep it centered but away from the vox and other guitar?)
ttfn,

Thank you &mdash 06/16/08 - 01:56:13 PM
very much for listening and for your critique - the acoustic might be a wee be more left than I intended - I always try and keep instruments (other than bass and drums) away from the centre so the vocals can breathe - I'll take on-board what you've said and give it a try on future projects.
Thanks again, Peter. [ Reply to This ]
Peter and Yeman!!! &mdash 06/16/08 - 02:28:40 PM
This is totally killer! Love the solo and love the overall sound!
Mr. Yeman that guitar solo is off the wall! Wow!
thanks!!! [ Reply to This ]
Yeman's &mdash 06/16/08 - 05:41:43 PM
solo is something else - he sent me 3 different ones - all sounded great to me - he is a real perfectionist and a pleasure to work with. Thanks for listening Mark.

Yeman &mdash 06/16/08 - 06:25:12 PM
without your playing this would not be any where near as good - thank you so much - it's been a pleasure working with you.
Peter [ Reply to This ]
Now hear this! &mdash 06/18/08 - 01:58:38 PM
Hey Yeman...Those solos are spot-on-the-money and utterly sublime!
You ROCK my friend!
Be well! [ Reply to This ]
Clean and clear &mdash 06/16/08 - 06:30:37 PM
What nice additions to this great song - you have a big future Yeman!
Great song - especially excellent production. A suggestion on the mix: the RH acoustic tends to dominate a bit - maybe you could double the track and put it in the LH channel (slightly delayed to fill things out) - just a thought, and by no means essential.
I really like this one.
Neil [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Neil &mdash 06/16/08 - 06:44:10 PM
really spooky - I was just listening to your latest. Thanks as ever for your comments. Originally, this was just acoustic and vocals - I would have re-panned the acoustic a bit more central but I had bounced the track with the vocals (not sure why I did that) so I was stuck with that bit really - I guess it adds a bit of 'space' around the instruments - I must have been listening to too many 'very stereo' 60's albums!
Thanks again

2.0 &mdash 06/16/08 - 08:55:19 PM
Cool Peter and Yeman.
I always like to here how someone else's song can develop and grow.
Yeman your leads are REALLY nice! And Peter, the added production really fits the bill. [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Vic &mdash 06/17/08 - 01:46:51 AM
There are always so many ways a song can develop and change - When I recorded the Coffee House version, I used a drum track (I hate click tracks) - so in a way this is more as I was thinking - but I really wanted the Coffee House version to be kept simply acoustic. I could never have imagined Yeman adding such a wonderful solo though!
So, this is first for me - both collaborating and posting another version of a song.
Thanks for listening!
Peter [ Reply to This ]
I love collabs &mdash 06/16/08 - 09:55:56 PM
Peter, I liked the first one, and this one has added dimension with Yeman's great guitar playing. Just wonderful for the coffeehouse. :-) [ Reply to This ]
Thanks &mdash 06/17/08 - 06:12:45 AM
for listening Roxylee - Yeman's guitar playing is special - he has an incredible attention to detail - it was a pleasure collaborating on this. Glad you enjoyed it.
Peter [ Reply to This ]
Very cool song...still!! &mdash 06/16/08 - 11:34:38 PM
Wow what a nice addition. Yeman did a wonderful job with his gorgeous guitar work. I liked this song immediately so much and you sing it perfectly Peter! Kudos for a great collab! [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Gail &mdash 06/17/08 - 05:57:09 AM
...I remember you being very complementary about the acoustic 'live' verison so I am pleased that this didn't disappoint. Thanks again for listening.

Another Rainy Day &mdash 06/17/08 - 03:01:05 AM
I am sorry Pete I missed this one. I am a very naughty girl :)
I loved your other one and also love this edition too. Great job.
You guys well done. I keep strumming away at my own guitar and am pleased to say I think I am making some slow but sure steady progress. lol
Great listen as usual.
Peace Dee xx

for the comments Jack, and as ever for your support. Enjoy the download.
Peter [ Reply to This ]
Fits nicely &mdash 06/17/08 - 08:00:34 AM
I'm not sure if I've heard the original song, but I like this version. That guitar solo comes just at the right spot and it fits just right.
The arrangement sounds pretty good otherwise too.
[ Reply to This ]
Wow Peter and Birdman &mdash 06/17/08 - 04:18:47 PM
Yeman is truly gifted, indeed. Love how you keep the British accent on the singing. A lot of English blokes tend to do the American thing on vocals.
Gloomy weather in England. Isn't that redundant?
I had a great time Peter. And a shout out to Yeman!

Having a lot of that &mdash 06/17/08 - 06:10:44 PM

This song again? &mdash 06/18/08 - 06:56:10 AM
I still love it! Yeman's addition solidifies this already neat song. This is a keeper in any format. Acoustic guitars sound soooo good! [ Reply to This ]
Yes indeed &mdash 06/18/08 - 07:16:00 AM
'this song again' - I wouldn't normally post an alternate version but I was so happy with Yeman's guitar work I wanted to share it. Thanks for checking this version out, and for your comments.
All the best

This is such a wonderful song with the collaboration.

Nice work both of you. Can we have more of these songs, love them.
Take care,
Carol

More... &mdash 06/19/08 - 02:01:00 AM
like this Carol - I never know which way a song will go but I think this is quite typical - I can't resist acoustic guitars - Yeman's solo is the icing on the cake here.
Thanks for listening.
Peter [ Reply to This ]

Singing &mdash 06/19/08 - 07:43:47 AM
playing and production sound excellent to me.The lyrics are excellent- I wish that I could write like that! Yeman sounds fantastic, every time I hear him he sounds better and better.He must practice a lot!Thanks for the free song! [ Reply to This ]
Oh... &mdash 06/19/08 - 07:52:48 AM

Catch up soon!

Sorry I'm late to this Peter - been away &mdash 06/22/08 - 09:09:37 AM
Glad you have done this - it has made me realise what a strong song it is and a second playing really reinforces that.
Inspired solo from Yemen really works well and I really like the production too.
Cheers

Hi Len &mdash 06/22/08 - 03:04:39 PM
Good to have you back! I'm sure you have lots of catching up to do... Thanks for listening to this re-worked version - Yeman's solo was inspired and I'm so pleased he added his playing to this.
All the best

nice &mdash 06/22/08 - 11:20:23 PM
addition with BW's leads, and of course it doesn't hurt to have have that Peter and Gordon singing style. [ Reply to This ]
Thanks &mdash 06/29/08 - 02:28:08 PM

cool tune &mdash 06/23/08 - 06:54:37 PM
you really created a nice overall sound with this, and Yeman adds a unique flavor with his solo. Good one. Cheers [ Reply to This ]
Yeman &mdash 06/29/08 - 02:32:45 PM
had a very definite idea of the solo and the sound for this. So nice to have a real guitarist play on one of my songs.
Peter [ Reply to This ]
Very cool &mdash 08/07/08 - 12:29:44 PM
This was an excellent song in its original incarnation, and this is nothing but an improvement. Lovely singing, great guitar tone, and that solo is excellent, with some lovely melodic runs that perfectly complement the song. Excellent stuff. Nicely done to both of you. Peace. [ Reply to This ]
