Leadfoot 91 Posted May 13 (edited) Hi everyone. I haven't been around here for a while. I hope everyone has been doing well. I wrote this song for my dad, who passed away in February. I hope you all like it. I'm looking forward to listening to all your stuff as well. EDIT I uploaded a youtube video, in case anyone's interested.😁 Edited May 16 by Leadfoot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjornpdx 131 Posted May 13 Leadfoot I could tell by the waveform that the mellow part at the beginning would soon get a lot less mellow but I didn't expect the AC/DC rock n roll energy. I like the "heaven is a little bit louder" which tells me something about your dad. I'm guessing you're a chip off the old block. Outstanding performance and guitar playing! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Dad wouldn't have wanted a sad song. He loved AC/DC, even at 77 years old, so I wanted to write a song that he would have liked. Thanks so much for the compliments!

Thank you for saying that, man. I looked up to my dad a great deal, and always wanted him to be proud of me. I suppose that's natural for any son. Thanks a lot for listening. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't expecting the Foreigner comparison though, but I'll take it! Thanks again man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Douglas Kirby 74 Posted May 15 That's cool that you posted a rocker as a tribute to your Dad - nicely done. I agree with some of the other guys that it has a serious AC/DC vibe. The mix sounds pro. Impressive lead vocal and guitar work. Thanks for posting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
