The Night

I.G.M.

Description

Last year I played on a festival in my home town. The motto was "The Night" and especially for that night I wrote this tune.
It`s one track, third take, except the solo which is a bit too laid back in my ears
but why am I telling... ? :o)

Lyrics

Every day is
Like the last
Future is
Like the past

Tell us the truth
No more abuse

Sky is bright
Night is clear
Stop the fight
Freedom`s near

All of that lies
Inside your eyes

When you`re in the deep
Go slow
Take a trip
Into the night

	Dig this Especially where it takes off. It sounded too country at the beginning then it turned into a cool jazzy thing. You should give the listener a glimpse of what he's going to hear on this track. It may be bit misleading. By the way, loved the tune much.

	Country? Never thought that someone would say it sounds like country... But it is what it is, the intro is an important part of this song. Thx for listening and for the honest words! Check out my latest song called I`m Gone

	wow ingo this is wonderful. great rhythm guitar and i thought the solo was great. my only suggestion is that i could have stood to have your gorgeous vocals a little louder. this is classic songwriting and a great performance. very well done! Check out my latest song called Deep Majesty

	yes Shay, you`re right The second take was a bit better balanced, but I`ve made some inexcusable mistakes so I decided to take the third one. You can`t always get what you want... :o) Thx for the comment Check out my latest song called I`m Gone

	Like this style .. ... makes me think of "wonderful night for a moondance". Fabulous performance .. you just played and sang this? One track, 3rd take .. then added the solo? Wow .. that's what I call a performance. Kudos Ingo. Check out my latest song called Misplaced

I.G.M.	I.G.M. said 233 days ago (April 5th, 2009)
	Live feel Yes, more and more I try to sound like it`s just an unplugged gig in my living room. The guitar part is pretty easy to play and so the vocals sound more natural than in some difficult fingerstyle song. Playing the solo was fun except the halftone shifting which is a killer when you don`t know where you are... Thx for the comment Check out my latest song called I`m Gone

Char	Char said 233 days ago (April 5th, 2009)
	This is such an enjoyable listen. Yes, wonderful singing. Could be a little louder, maybe. Such a bluesy jazzy take with an ending to die for. Thanks. Check out my latest song called Break Away (Mark Holbrook & Awigze)

I.G.M.	I.G.M. said 233 days ago (April 5th, 2009)
	You`re so kind But please don`t die! You`re right, vocals could be a little louder, it`s the curse of one-track-recording with just one microphone. Next time vocals will be too loud... :o) Thx for your comment Check out my latest song called I`m Gone

I.G.M. said 233 days ago (April 6th, 2009)

Thx Scott

it`s a great honour to hear such positive words from a very talented songwriter.
When I joined MJ I was a bit disappointed because of the apparent low quality level of songs that I`ve listened to.
But I realized at the latest I was wrong when I listened to your songs.
If you ever want to collab I would be glad to work with you.

Thx for your comment

	That solo seems a bit laid back Ingo :) Lovely tune and some tasty playing. The intro sounded a lot like ................. someone I can't place :( I enjoyed the intro as much as the upbeat section. Very cool song, good performance and nicely recorded. Neil Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

I.G.M.	I.G.M. said 233 days ago (April 6th, 2009)

	Very nice! Nice tone on that guitar. Very engaging when the jazz rhythm kicks in. Wish your fine vox was a tad forward in the mix though. No need to hide! Back in the day there was a lot of music like this about. Your tune has filled me with nostalgia. Good job Ingo. Be well friend! Check out my latest song called IT'S NOT THE SAME

	Great song Great delivery. Sounds like it could use an eq adjustment, it sounded a touch muddy although with that said, the lead guitar sounded great. I still loved it none the less, you have a new fan now. Peace Guy Check out my latest song called Last Day Here

I.G.M.	I.G.M. said 231 days ago (April 8th, 2009)
	Thx You`re right, sounds a bit muddy especially on bad speakers. I`ve used a sample delay to give it a little more density. The result is that the brilliance is gone away, just a bit. You`re a new fan? Make yourself at home... :o) Thx for your comment Check out my latest song called I`m Gone
