You can leap tall buildings in a single bound
You can save a drowning man
You can stop a bank robber with your kung fu moves
Still, McKayla is not impressed…

This is what is known as a "hostile takeover".
MCOBigBen wrote the song and gave Tim the multitracks.
Tim chopped and edited away, adding guitars, backing vocals, and various production.
Grant added drums.
Ben still hasn't heard it at this point....

Excellent stuff - big smile on my face.
And anyone who can master a tambourine is ok in my book (wretched instrument of the devil that it is lol)(guess who, still, after too many years, can't get a tambourine to do sensible stuff?)
Brian did a tremendous job pulling this all together. This was recorded as part of a Church of England retreat in 2023 celebrating my 55th birthday. Featuring: Brian J. Wood on vocals and guitar, Wilsun on bass, This Wretched Vessel on guitar, Tim from Letter Seventeen (that's me!) on guitar, and the remarkable Jarrett Osborn on drums.

I can't wait for you to show, me the way

there are places we will go, someday

RPM. Month of concessions. I had lots of ideas, and they all seemed to fall apart. Time was not in abundance. Glad this was a leap year, for me to squeeze this out in a few hours after work.

Wow. You really nailed that intro!
Quick story: my high school girlfriend was obsessed with this song. She once played it on a loop for 54 hours straight (CD players had just become affordable and that repeat button was just too much for her to resist). When I came over to see her she was a little..... frayed. She really wasn't much of a goth, but she loved this song and the movie The Hunger. Okay, so maybe she was a little bit of a goth.
October 2023 A-side? It started with the stupid singsong thing I remember hearing as a kid and then mutated into Meshuggah... with a special cameo at the end of the track.
The first lines of the chorus just crept into my head.
I had to write the rest.

Comments on Letter Seventeen's stuff
My mind is blank most of the time. Good song. ER
Yeah!
Nice stuff peeps!
Lovin' this!
Gotta say it, Tim. I wish I wrote this song. -clarke
Great, great song.
Sounds great, Tim! I love the "surf" tone of the guitar. -clarke
I like this one, too. ER
Interesting instrumental. Like the irregular cadence of the drum set. ER
i say f' her, cause this is a good song.
Hard time impressing her, lol - I like the thought gone into this song, and the range of instruments.
Oh yeah...dig! w;-)
Likin' this!
Excellent....liking the vibe
Bad ass tuneage! Spankin the 7#9 chord with thick tone. Nice!
Better than the original. I speak with authority here. ;)
groovy

This is quite awesome.
I'm with Keith. I think I prefer this version.
You did it again. Of course you did.
Yeah... we need to talk about how you get those bass sounds.
Fair. True. But seriously.... no one should ever record an acoustic guitar via the pickup. It should be declared a crime.
I do loves me some cheap guitars.....
I sold my Neve and I use the SSL more than the ToneBeast these days, but my last recordings were an SM7 straight into the interface. So there!
But my mic **IS** better than your mic!
This is quite lovely.
A very cool soundscape here. Nicely done.

And you finish it out with loungy goodness. This is a fabulous set of songs for October. Bonus points for the great harmonies.
Spooky, but also more fun!
Awesome work, Ed! This song is all kinds of fun!
Very cool!
This is quite spectacular. You took the song someplace different and Andy is a rock star, but we all already knew that.
Nice work, Keith.
Not only do I not hate you for this one, I love it!
You've started using a different approach with your vocals and I really like it.
