SteveC Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Hey... It's been a few years since I've posted a new original here, pre-Bandlab days in fact. The result of life, work, COVID, the end of SONAR, etc.. I actually completed the song last April, didn't get around to uploading until November, and posting here just now in March. Did I mention life, work, COVID and SONAR? ? Anyhow, it's very much as 70's prog inspired piece but somewhat straightforward too (at least time signature-wise). SoundCloud version is here: I've also taken my first dip into the waters of creating a matching video with Vegas Pro, using random free snippets found on the web. Be gentle, it is my first time after all. ? Thanks! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Symmetry Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Enjoyed the tune, esp liked the vox harmonies @ :50 & the bg's. Edited March 28, 2021 by Hidden Symmetry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I love songs like this. It takes me back to a time when I listened to anything that was progressive. This shows off your skill very well, and I hope many more people will hear this! The video is fun, too, and a good reason to keep making them.

Andrew Rhodes Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Wow! Lots of work gone into that I'm sure. Excellent. I wouldn't know where to begin writing and recording something like that, but I wish I could. OutYessing Yes!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bajan Blue Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 A bit of Yes meets Jethro Tull - nicely done indeed Cool Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 To me progressive means it is is not mindless pop, it means someone has taken the time to construct a real well thought out piece with more than three chords, or not just I, IV, V. I like this is a piece worth listening too, nicely done sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Crazy good prog. I'd boost the vocal just a hair, especially that "response" vocal part. Wow those piano runs at the end were killer! Video works a treat. Kudos to the bass player or programmer for keeping up with all of those changes - love it! The typical knock is that prog can get tedious but yours never, ever does. Really well done! cheers, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks for the video comment - at least it didn't pull things down in a not so good way. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then some more after that. ? As for outYessing Yes I'm not sure that's actually possible, but it's a compliment I will happily take regardless. Particularly since the working title of this song was something very Yes-like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you liked it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
