This was a problem child.. The other tracks fell together quickly but this was a slow burn. The chorus is far more uplifting than the verse - which reminds me of a melancholy hybrid of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and the outro to the 70s British…

A quite 'straight ahead' rock feel to this at the beginning. The Rickenfaker bass has a lovely fat sound to it... Then it gets anthem-like from 2:45 onwards

Mighty fine - has a definite "conclusion"/"closure" vibe to it. I kinda like how the final one has a title of "Growing" implying the story goes on (which the music does as well)

It started off as a shimmery, summery canvas in my head but morphed into something very different from the middle 8 onwards. It was originally done at 100BPM but sounded a bit 'ploddy' and pedestrian so I beefed it up
This started life as a vey simple 'disco' bass riff over which I then brought in the chords. Its got a sort of 80s pop/prog thing going on - not surprising as I'd been listening to a lot of Nik Kershaw when I recorded it!

Thanks @andrew! It took a long time (by my standards) to complete this and I think musically it tracks where my head was at various points in its development!
A straight-ahead rock song with a quirky arrangement change on the second verse. Includes a trippy Pink Floyd-esque middle 8 and a Boyzone rousing key change at the end... You're welcome! π

Thatβs so kind @andrew! Iβm not a keyboard player (Bass is the instrument I started to learn 9 years ago) but synths are so cool to experiment with!

Here's the very latest from the broom-cupboard.
I wrote it one dark night over 23 years ago.

**All I Have To Do - A A J Russe**
There isnβt much time to get this out
You wonβt hear me if I have to…
The Last Resort would have been too long if this had been included so I did a fade-in to create Part 2... The chords in the verse have a passing resemblance to 'A Few Words For The Dead' by Marillion... I found that out afterwards!
There's…
I hadn't heard the Rainbow connection but on listening again, you're right! As a guitarist, you'd love modern-day Marillion (Steve Rothery is just a master of less is more). Try 'Neverland' from the album 'Marbles'.... sublime playing

Comments on Shed Sounds's stuff
I'm really quite tipsy here (blame my wife) ... but there's something making me think "The Who" and I can't tell what...
Uplifting loveliness! More cowbell.
Thanks @AMUC! π€
This is really good. The production is crisp and clear. The synthesizers call back to 70s prog.
Thanks @Eric! π
Sounds great!
@Alex - Its Dubai Marina. Thanks for your feedback!
Nice! The soundscape is cool. What city is this a photo of? Alex
Thanks @markus4lonetone, @andyr, @MarxistNemo1 and @peppermintsky for your comments - I'm chuffed!
I really like it!
Well that works for me. Nice one. I'm a sucker for a falling bass line.
Sounds great. Big fan of changes.
Huuuuuuge and epic sounding!
Lol! Thanks @Andrew π
It do seem very quiet around here! This one's a goodie, though.
Thanks @Sister.... Been watching old films and got a bit enchanted by the soundtracks 'back in the day'!
I am. And I'm enjoying too! An absolute beauty - especially love the chill intro!
Thanks @Andrew - That was exactly the creative process!

Thanks @Sister - can't wait to put some vocals on the end section of this!

Awww.. Fanks @Sister! π I'm quite proud of it!
@sister - Thats now an image stuck in my head - dayglo leg warmers and everything!
Thanks @Andrew!

Thanks @Andrew!
Thank you @slkrell!
@Colleen - thank you for your kind words π
Thanks @sister! Sadly the amps, mics and the good bass guitars are 3,500 miles away - so the vocals will have to be added when/if I get home!
Thatβs so kind @andrew! Iβm not a keyboard player (Bass is the instrument I started to learn 9 years ago) but synths are so cool to experiment with!
@AMUC - thank you! a nod towards the 70s keyboard maestros like Tony Banks and Keith Emerson
I love the vibe on this - kinda Del Amitri meets 10cc!

Thanks all for the cowbell comments.... its actually a ride cymbal!! I probably need to look at the EQ!!!
