Grem Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) This is a song I wrote long time ago. I had tried lots of different versions of it with me singing on all of them. Then the Gibson fiasco happened with Sonar and it becoming Cakewalk By Bandlab. So this new Bandlab Community thing was something I wanted to try. So I throw this song out there ( I posted it to the community) to see what it was all about. And what happened after that is the version I am posting. It became something I never envisioned. Some forum members contributed to this song. I have to give them credit for turning this song into something else! The reason I posted this is because RicF posted his song from the BandLab community and I was impressed with the simplicity of the player. So I went to my Bandlab account and saw that they have made some changes there. It does look like a much better site. And to be honest, it was very easy and a pleasure to colab with these people through that site. I kinda want to do it again. Are we looking at the future of music creation? I wrote the song. The structure and lyrics. Joshua did take my lyrics and changed some of them up to suit what he wanted to sing. The other parts were written by as follows: Guitar: @Grem Bass: @Lord Tim Drums: Single-Minded Organ: @dee Horns: @Simeon Amburgey Vocals: Joshua Mixed and Mastered by: Chris with @LittleStudios Any comments are welcomed.

Lord Tim Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 The horns are the highlight of the track for me, they're great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 Yeah, Simeon did that horn arrangement. He said he just "threw it together"! He really is a talented musician. One of the joys of watching his videos is the stuff he comes up with on the fly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 WOW, Sounds excellent . . . great job everybody ! The end result really has a great live feel to it, regardless of how it was conceived, sounds like a tower of power or chicago transit authority piece . . . coolness factor way high for my ears ! Like the vocals a lot too, is that Grem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB01 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 All round great groove - very enjoyable listen. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T. Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Yes, the groove is great, similar to Donald Fagen's "I.G.Y.", but different enough to stand on its own. Everyone did a great job on this???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fellow from England named Joshua. And actually his melody and approach is different than what I had envisioned. I think he did a great job. I tried to get it touch with him many times after this song but never could. I was hoping we could collaborate again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
