Osckilo, Launched | Kidding Myself

Uploaded .

271

You’re just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish/Arabic guitar track.

Guitar: Tharek (Osckilo)
Vox/Lyrics: Launched
Percussion: Norm

Original post: http://alonetone.com/launched/tracks/kidding-myself-me-tharek

Lyrics:

I don’t know
What I am
No love lost
Bird in hand

I feel the wind and the rain
Beating down my door

Looking for shelter
From the remnants of war

I’m just kiddin’ myself
I’m just kiddin’ myself

Chorus

And the wind in my sails playing song….

Softly……..Softly……..

(Takes me) Back to the place I belong…

They don’t know
What I go through
Can’t you see?

I’m alone
I’m alone
Alone
I’m alone

Chorus

excellent collab indeed, and a great tune! the original has a rather intimate feel, adding your percs turned it all into a get-together afternoon, under the sun, with good buddies and let the jammin' goes its own way..

Guest said

Most sympathetic and gorgeous. What I like about it is you haven't tried to compete, just complete and the outcome is wonderful.

Guest said

BRILLIANT. I enjoyed every second...except the one after it ended. ;)
