Description

Written by Stephen Hadley.
Lead Vocals - Danielle Boyd
Guitars and Bass - Ray Kainz
Violin - someone very talented and beautiful
Choir - a bunch of very talented and beautiful people
Trumpet-a really cool dude
Trombone-an even cooler dude
Sax-lovely lovely man, and cool dude too.
Additional BGVz - Stephen Hadley, Ray Kainz
Original concept for this tune was sketched out completely in GarageBand.
An Mbox and ProTools LE were used for final tracks and mixing, however some original loops from GB did make it to the final.
I couldn't get Amplitube to work properly in PT so I tracked electric guitar into GB, used the Arena Rock preset then bounced it out to ProTools.

Thanks to everyone for your time and comments on this one! Thanks to your advice i think this final version is much better. you can check it out here

	Very cool I got a lot of different vibes from this one - intro gave me a kind of LedZep feel, then I thought I heard a Gospel influence, then the chorus harmonies made me think of FleetwoodMac. Quite a ride!! Really well done, liked the horns & I'm a sucker for some slide. Check out my latest song called Pieces

	Very cool didn't really think of Zeppelin till you mentioned it and your right, it does have a slight Zep flavor. Thanks for checking out our tune! --- We got spirit yes we do, we got spirit how 'bout you?!? Check out my latest song called To Be With You

	Excellent What can I say. I'm a sucker for well written and performed rock and roll. Interesting vocals and especially cool harmonies. I liked everything about this... my guess is your not exactly new to this recording thing! Thanks for posting this! Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

	Excellent Thanks for your comments aclarke. We have been recording for almost 20 years. Started out with a Tascam 8-track 1/2" smpte'd to an Atari sequencer. We thought that was pretty hi-tech. Thanks for your time and ears! --- We got spirit yes we do, we got spirit how 'bout you?!? Check out my latest song called To Be With You

Good, dense texture
Lovely vocals. Who is she?

Again, another fun piece to listen to. Always
something happening. Liked the mix of funk and slide
guitar. Powerful chorus. Can I get a witness?

My only suggestion, spot, is more info to help us navigate
your material. Performers, lyrics, etc. Good artwork, too.

I look forward to hearing more of this Chicago sound.

I'll be posting a talent list soon, hopefully, as soon as i get it. anyway, Thanks a bunch for your thoughts and time! --- We got spirit yes we do, we got spirit how 'bout you?!?

	nice work The artwork got me from the start...then it was the pulsed intro leading into the slide guitar...then it was the strong vocals...and then the chorus...really cool. This reminded me of Primal Scream's "Come Together" (especially near the end with the gospel- like chorus and horns). Check out my latest song called Gossamer dissected

Truth42	Truth42 said 1698 days ago (April 2nd, 2005)
	Nice Voice The girl singing has an excellent voice and the song itself is very well put together. I love the harmonies, and I also like the slide guitar very much. This is so much better than the vast majority of music submitted on this board. Check out my latest song called Hide And Seek

	Nice i Like that slide Sounds nice :) Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)

	Wow this is really good! Production is fantastic, cool use of beats, great guitar, superb vox, catchy melody...most of all, I like the unique effects used. Check out my latest song called Your's

	zendog said 1698 days ago (April 2nd, 2005)
	Thanks for the payoff On the first listen, I was really hoping you'd crank it out for the second half of the song, and there it was. Very cool. Like a musical blender taking everything about good Chicago music and serving it up. Awesome job. Check out my latest song called Sold Out

	Nice work! Really impressive -- rich technique. Please, keep it up! Check out my latest song called It's Me

	That artwork! It's looking at me! I swear! Cool track. Slide guitar is cool, massive vocals too. Just watch your levels, could you? When that chorus comes in the levels shoot through the roof. Check out my latest song called Tecmo Superbowl 2009 w/ Dead End (MJRF 2004)

That artwork! It's looking at me! I swear!
Thanks for your time and thoughts TV. In the digital domain the "roof" would
be 0db. Through the roof would imply that the levels shoot up beyond 0db
like to +6db or +12 db etc. At no time during this piece do the levels exceed
0db which is to say they do NOT go through the roof. If the levels bother you,
don't look at your VU meter while listening. Now if the dynamics bother you
that's a different story.

Thanks again for listening Vic!

	great song I really liked everything about this song. Great production, instrumentation, vocals/harmonies. Thanks for sharing! I do think I agree with someone else's comment that the levels during the chorus seem to go way too high. Cheers. Check out my latest song called I Love My Mac mjrf

I love it
What a great hook! Really top notch writing.

The big choral section is a bit much for me. Maybe it's a
little too loud? Maybe it's just me.

I love the openness of the soundstage. Humongous
production.

I want to know more about the "horns". Some of the best
fakes I've heard on this site. Can I get me some?

Ahhhhhhh, I just x-referenced, it's the Eleveneyes show.
No WONDER I likes it so much!

I love it
yeah, the choral section is a bit loud.
the horns are actually real. added some stereo delay and chorus to make
them sound a little less real actually.
I thought this would be a little too accessible for you Troy but I'm glad
you dig it.
this isn't the 11eyes show though, I just play a little guitar and mix. The guy
running the show is Steve Hadley. He's eye of this storm!
Thanks for your time, thoughts and comments Troy, good luck in the Tumi
contest!

great song
This is very cool. Great energy in this song, and of course
those vocals and choir-like harmony arragements are
fantastic. Just a great sound all around. One thing I'd
suggest is for the harmonies have only one voice
pronounce the "s" at the end of "dreams". The rest of the
voices sing it just as "dream". It's a choir trick.

Anyway, very inventive and captivating.

	great song Thanks for the suggestion on the "s" situation. We'll keep that in mind for sure next time! I'm remixing the song and manually editting out some of the s's thanks to your suggestion. This is why I LOVE this site. Thanks again Peter for your thoughts and time! --- We got spirit yes we do, we got spirit how 'bout you?!? Check out my latest song called To Be With You

	Great collab Very cool. Love the lead vocalist, the genre bender feel. The size of the "chorus." Sound perfect in headphones; the chorus saturates a bit in my speakers. Great collaboration, feel, depth, tempo, result. I can feel the fun. Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

danielle and the family stone
wow. love your voice. i like the depth it has, the r&b girl in there waiting, the lower sounds. the chorus sounds a bit too pretty, almost too college choir sounding, taking away bit from the hip feel of the whole track. bit this is an absolutely excellent jam. like danielle and the family stone...

	Very Well Done I'm reminded of Lori Carson and Syd Straw's work with the Golden Palominos but then given a gigantic Phil Spector production. Now to listen to the final mix - ah, much nicer to have the chorus bg vocals less forward - and the mix is better overall.

	Amazing... Simply amazing!
