Lyrics

Domino Effect

standing up to see the stars
touch the light with their eyes
some will believe some will deny
come out and feel the light
i caught you sulking in the night
set them up to knock them down
comes the rise and fall

domino effect is all around
it only takes one to fall
domino effect all fall down

pretty dreams five miles long
tumble away as daylight comes
where the sun climbs and climbs
the hours count the way down
minutes sweep the time away
time slides in we slide out
topple in dreams five miles long

domino effect is all around
it only takes one to fall
domino effect all fall down

set out walking to the moon
the last step none to soon
a shooting star knocked me down
lost my footing lost my ground
as the earth came into view
stood so high fell so low
had no other place to go

domino effect is all around
it only takes one to fall
domino effect all fall down

	Domino Effect Very tasty guitars Vic! I was thinking about doing something similar soon. Luckily we don't sound much alike. You are pretty refined and I beat the heck outta whatever I play. I really enjoyed this. I'll give it another listen when I get home so that I can hear it on my good monitors. Check out my latest song called A Friend to the End

	Domino Effect Acoustic guitars sound great, so well recorded, vocals are excellent and I love the chorus. Some nice chords played and wonderful playing too. Really enjoyed this one Vic, fantastic song. Bob Check out my latest song called We Can't Let It Go

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 927 days ago (December 4th, 2010)
	Thanks Bob i just bought a presonus firestudio interface and it made a big difference over my presounus firebox, i wasn't expecting that. also the main acoustic track, the ibanez acoustic has a xlr output that really broadens the signal. thanks for checking it out Bob Check out my latest song called They Must

	Thanks Andrew it's just 3 guitars plus the solo. 2 backing guitars only play bit parts. seemed to me to fill out wonderfully that i actually dumped a 12 string track. Check out my latest song called They Must

that guitar
sounds amazing! Man I keep forgetting how much talent lurks here, I absolutely love this song, can't get over the quality of that acoustic guitar sound or the harmonies you're doing, great lyrics, love your voice, cool idea for the hook, love the break, sweet solo, altered tuning? Nice Vic! stellar post!!!!!!!! I was just listening to your tracks on our collab this morning, you are the man!

Check out my latest song called Please Help, Pride of NYC needs tracks!

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 927 days ago (December 4th, 2010)
	Thanks JD I was even a bit surprised how well the main acoustic came out sound wise. no altered tuning just a capo on the third fret. why the capo? i have no idea, it did make the hybrid finger picking a little easier though Check out my latest song called They Must

Hickling_Stan	Hickling_Stan said 927 days ago (December 4th, 2010)
	Moody Lots have commented on the guitar. I like the idea of a dream being five miles long! Did the vocals follow the guitar melody or the other way around?!! Check out my latest song called Elective Introspective

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 927 days ago (December 4th, 2010)
	in the mood vocals came last. that seems to be my recording process, it seemed to work best staying with the guitar melody on this one. i appreciate the listen. Check out my latest song called They Must

	Very introspective Nicely played Vic. Contemplative comes to mind. Excellent lyrics. Cheers Dick Check out my latest song called Not For The Likes of You

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 927 days ago (December 4th, 2010)
	Thanks Dick i had the music done for a while, and just couldn't get any decent lyrics going.....i like that term domino effect, has a universal theme about it and made it easier to get something going Check out my latest song called They Must

dave_b	dave_b said 927 days ago (December 4th, 2010)
	Domino Effect Vocs/melody are sitting pretty against this well arranged backer. Tight playing, and beautiful tone on the acoustic. Nice hook, and the lyric develops it well. A firm and steady capo is essential for a song like this :) Check out my latest song called Llarions Blues

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 927 days ago (December 4th, 2010)
	Thanks Dave yes a capo can make a difference. although i did have to transcribe the tune for the bass and lead part since they were not capoed. thanks for the listen! Check out my latest song called They Must

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 927 days ago (December 4th, 2010)
	Thanks Dave i had to practice on this one for the finger picking quite a bit. i can play it perfectly when i'm just playing it. but at times when i start recording i turn into fumble fingers....... but i finally nailed it. whew Check out my latest song called They Must

Reggie_Pole	Reggie_Pole said 927 days ago (December 4th, 2010)
	All fall down I like that 15/4 chorus. That gives it a unique feel. Guitars (all of them) sound great. Excellent production too. Lyrics are thoughtful and thought-provoking. Very well done, all around. Check out my latest song called UnerSpizm

Domino Effect
Vic, you're raising the bar on the vocals sir. Really killer background parts. I love the arrangement. At first I thought you were gonna start hammering away on the keys ala Fats Domino :-)
That would've been cool but I really dug this. One of those tracks that expands with every listen, and filled with heart all the way through.

Check out my latest song called Blackwater (by Tokai)

bud	bud said 925 days ago (December 5th, 2010)
	Very interesting Vic with other lyrics this could almost be a Christmas carol. As is it's another wonderful Vicartronic piece with some remarkable restraint - knowing what you can do plugged in and fired up. Excellent acoustic arrangement. Check out my latest song called fig field

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 925 days ago (December 5th, 2010)
	Thanks Kevin originally it was going to be just one guitar w/solo. at least i did keep it down to 3 acoustic tracks. Check out my latest song called They Must

Ed Hannifin said 925 days ago (December 5th, 2010)

I'm very pleased to hear...
...a Vic Holman piece with multiple acoustic guitars sitting on a nice, solid bass... Coupled with a vocal melody that really stretches out of the more usual Vic Holman territory, including multiple vocals on the choruses...

I like the chiming rhythm playing at the solo against the single note playing...And I like the alternation between strumming chords and arpeggiating them...

My only, only, only nit is that I would like to hear the acoustics sounding a little more mic'd and less pickup-ed... As the layers add up, I think it sounds a little less natural than it might...

Check out my latest song called Uno/I Like The Way... (with Macaudion, SISTERS, ktb, and ziti)

Ed Hannifin	Ed Hannifin said 925 days ago (December 5th, 2010)
	Forgot to mention... That I also like the dramatic pauses... Check out my latest song called Uno/I Like The Way... (with Macaudion, SISTERS, ktb, and ziti)

Vic Holman said 925 days ago (December 5th, 2010)

Thanks Ed.
i thought a nice stripped down sound would work best here. i actually had a 12 string for the backing parts, but it came across as too trebly so i ended up replacing it with 2 acoustics playing the same but still getting that type of sound.

at this time of season miking is not so doable with the furnace going. i had to wait it out quite a few times just to get the vox's done. although i should of added logics space designer and used a room reverb setting. that would of worked as well

i appreciate the listen & comments Ed

	Thought I'd commented but can't see myself in the list. Hate it when that happens as my second comment is never as good as my first. I definitely said the chorus is stunning. The guitar tone is fab. 2.15 is utterly dreamy and pleasing. One of my faves of yours for sure. Check out my latest song called Living Dead Love Song in Z minor (HALLOWEEN 2012)

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 925 days ago (December 5th, 2010)

	Guitar layering Hi Vic. I'm picking up some Beatlesque influences in this as well. The layered guitars sound great and the vocal harmonies are very well done. Really enjoyed the song. Thanks for the posting. Regards, Peter. Check out my latest song called Sailor's Warning w jiguma, Philip18

	Clear as a bell! One of your cleanest mixes Vic. The guitars are beautifully recorded. I must investigate the Presonus in our Shed studio more closely - maybe borrow it for the next song. Love your thoughtful arrangement - mix is brilliant. Another excellent song. What can I say?! Cheers from Oz, Neil Check out my latest song called INTO THE BLUE

Vic Holman	Vic Holman said 923 days ago (December 7th, 2010)
	Thanks Neil this is my first outing with a new presonus firestudio mobile. preamps seem a little better then the presonus firebox that i have. funny thing is the guitars are way overdue for a string change but they seem to sound fine here. Check out my latest song called They Must

Rich...
Many other comments (above), but my two cents focuses on the richness of those three guitars against each other. You've somehow miced them to cover a really wide sound spectrum that is particularly pleasant to experience...The tune is a haunting one, too: well-controlled at every step of the way and always within character with itself (does that make sense?). So, not only is the performance a very pleasant one; the composition itself is one that is full of interest and controlled writing. Nice.

	Domino Effect I like the change of pace here, Vic. Still has your signature sound, but this time nice and mellow is the way to go. Those acoustic guitars sound really sweet, and well played too.
