Hi Jim - thanks for adding the detail! Steve
-
Ahh, a kindred soul from Sonar? Very cool. That very beginning sounds like the Donna Summer Bad Girls whistle. Killer rhyming guitars.
-
This is really pretty great. What is it, 5/4 then 3/4 ? Is there such a thing as 6/4? 🙂 Great mix as well.

Warren Zevon - Accidently Like a Martyr with @kiwichrys
steve@baselines.com replied to steve@baselines.com's topic in Songs
Thanks Pete, me too! I just read a book about his life and times...that's why I did this cover. He was a funny and sad guy at the same time. -
This release has the fab @kiwichrys on backing vocals, a new lead vocal track and a new mix. Accidently Like a Martyr was one of my favorite songs of the great Excitable Boy album. https://baselines.com/?p=6604

Thanks very much Larry!
-
Thank you! I think this actually got up to number 15 way back there. It was also commissioned for a Coppola movie.

Thank you Bert!

Hi Antler - I heard it on Spotify a little while ago and it just made me glad and sad at the same time - glad that it exists, sad that that innocent time has past. Gave me goosebumps, had to cover it. And you are absolutely right - I think the same thing. I left it the way it was, but it would probably be better muting it a little. I was surprised that the drummer was playing those hi-hat 16th, so I accentuated it at the time. And I guess I made the tambourine loud because I'm not really a guitarist or a singer and thought it would pull attention away from those only two other things that were playing.

Thank you my friend - I appreciate you taking the time!

Thanks Nigel - It's from ancient times LOL. Always liked it. Thanks for the comment!

All right, I know - it is the fare of those great 60s late night commercials for the cd sets. But hell, when I heard this again at 2AM coming out of my TV, I was just floored by how great an old song it was and had to try it. I had fun, but I just hope I didn't ruin it too much. https://baselines.com/?p=6599

Great job - the video looks ultra clean and pro. That bass looks killer, especially from the tail end. Everything sounds great as well.
-
Hiya Gary - nice job here. I actually like the beginning of the 1008 version better, but it's just my opinion, who knows?
-
Yes - perfect bass and drums power. Then the guitar and vocal work very well over it and then that great 3AM piano. Nice work.
-
Nice chill sounds. Is that plane photo the US or Europe? I think a nice vocal could be worked over this. Maybe like a Warren Zevon but I'm just spit balling here.
-
Nice feel to this song. I think the kick is louder than the bass part - but just my opinion - being a bass player by trade, I'll always scream and cry about that! Great song though.
-
You DID capture the feel! I reach back for the Amplitube Fender stuff from time to time - this makes me want to go back and do something with it again!
-
Hey thanks Freddy - I appreciate it!

Thanks for listening Ron!
