RPM 2011

Goodbyes are so beautiful
Disappear…

It's a song where we can sing along
All the day and all the night
Shoot the breeze if you can't sing it right
Dance away now melody, dance away now
It's the way to fail more gracefully
See me jump up and fall to pieces
It's sad…

Jamming with a couple buddies. I screwed the lyrics up but it was fun to do. Who doesn't want to at least try an AC/DC tune?

I reversed the bass in some sections and even changed some of the character (via filters) of some of the bass sounds.

Another one for the RPM2011 pile. Vocals are a bit shonky so apologies for that. If you don't like the start I would give the ending a try. If you don't like that either, I'm sorry to have wasted your time. The subject matter's self-explanatory…
