From the Horse Latitudes album, pretty much rebuilt with some new parts and new tools.
Cultures come and cultures go
The world still turns
It's a miracle that we're still hereWhen anybody anytime anywhere
Sets the world on fire
It winds up on a viral video
Insanity strikes and it hits us so quick
We give voice to the crazy, the fringe lunatic
And when the truth comes out and the suppression begins
We've got to crank up the engine and roll down that rocky hill again.Desert fox and poison pills
The monkey swings
And his par-amour earns her wings
The chambermaid makes up the bed and plays for time
She prays that he will sleep in town tonight
There's a book on the nightstand that the powers neglect
With a gold plated emblem that the night lamps reflect
And when the truth comes out and the suppression begins
We've got to crank up the engine and roll down that rocky hill again.-

Cool tune. I like when those horns come in and the whole idea of the song.

Simple but quite a catchy melody. Could you post the lyrics please? I only picked up a few words which is probably due to my hearing loss. Thanks

He wrote a cool song @steve@baselines.com you appear to have done it justice with this reworking.
Thanks Wookiee!

Great! Not to mention those interesting piano trills. Well done and professional sounding. Loved it. Thanks for mentioning some of the products you use - got to check them out.

Hi Nigel - your stuff is always great sounding and the videos look fabulous. Was that an intention use of the Pleiades (seven sisters) in the star field near the beginning? That is what it was, right?

Hi Steve - i've had UAD Cards for ages but I just got quite a few of the UAD Native plug ins free from UAD just recently - I do think the Native plugins are the way to go and yes they always sound great
Good track, enjoyed it
Cool
Nigel
Thank you for that info Nigel - I really hear the difference with those plugins and I am glad I am not imagining it!! It's easy to get caught up in plugins and lose perspective.

Sounds great ! very clean and the mix is great over here. Thanks for talking about what plugins you used.
Thank you Treesha. I also use iZotope Ozone, Waves RBASS and Maserati Bass, The keyboards are Native Instruments. I use TH-U on the electric guitars, and of course Melodyne to make the vocals better than they actually are 🙂

when you say “Windows UAD ” you’re using the vst plugs, not the UAD card? I tried to “love” the Octo card and the whole UAD eco system, but just never bonded..,
No - they recently (as far as I know) released this Spark package that is made up of a bunch of their plugins. Run natively in Windows, you don't need any of their hardware. Its a subscription option although I think you can buy it as well. About $20 a month and there is a cheaper yearly subscription as well.

If there is any doubt about UAD Windows plugins being worth it, I would have to say that in my opinion they are. I highly recommend the 1176 compressors, the Lexicon reverb and the Studer tape deck. This is what was used on Arrow of Time here.

Another brilliant vocal, Steve! It's all there, just waiting for an audience. The mix is polished, but not overly so. Good vibes!
Hi Lynn - thank you very much. I appreciate all the positive reinforcement. If you hear anything that is wrong in anything I post, let me know - I can handle criticism as well from people who know what they are doing.

Yeah, really good Steve. Great production and mix. Beginning vocals, piano, bass and organ, moves the song right along so drums aren't needed. Gradual build as strings enter is perfect 🎶🎶🎶🎶
Hey thanks for listening Larry - I appreciate the comment!

This is a song written by Paul Van Ness in the late 70's. I decided to cover it again because I always liked the flow of it and the sentiment.

Hi Steve, I just tried the link and it seems to work. BTW, my wife is usually right -- sooo, you probably will agree with her. ☺️
Yes I was able to get in today. Nice job, Freddy!

Thanks Larry - you are right. I rarely let a song go over 3:30. I think I will try to trim this down, at least take out the very beginning before the vocals come in.
