Not To Worry - Collaboration from Daryl 1968 and Lynn


Lynn Wilson

Recommended Posts

Two weeks ago, Dary sent me some instrument tracks to develop into a song, and here is the result:  https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14668987

I received from him tracks with drums, the opening guitar riff, synth bass, a sampled funk guitar, and a synth rhythm track.  These became the intro, verses, and pre-choruses.  I wrote the chorus and provided the words, melody, bass, additional drums, and more guitar.  Daryl sang backup on the choruses to supplement my vocals.  Considering how fast this came together, we come here looking for your ideas and suggestions.  As always, thanks so much for your time and effort!

This is really good. Great collaboration by two of my faves on the song forum.
Wonderful opening guitar. Production is top notch as is Lynn's vocal.
One thing I noticed is the gtr at 2:30. Seems like it should move up a bit, at least to my ears.
Good job!

Thanks, Bjorn!  Your words always mean a lot to me.  You're right about the guitar - next pass.

Excellent. The rhythm/percussion and guitar loops are killer. They fit like a glove. I'd trim around a minute by shortening a verse a two for higher impact and to help maintain the high energy????

Thanks for your kind words, Larry!  I had hoped that I trimmed the fat off of this enough, but perhaps not?

Great work guys!!!  The forum is full of talent and you to are among the top.  This is absoflippinlutely excellent. I don't know if it was intentional but this song has a bit of a Latin Afrobeat style to it.  Particularly that guitar panned left and the percussion.  That is one of my new favourite styles.

Good to hear from you, Freddy!  Give Daryl all the credit for the feel and format.  I love that style, too.  All in all, we're just trying to keep up with all the prolific songwriters around here like you.

that was cool!

reminds me a bit of robert Palmer's more progressive stuff he did before Power Station

 

love all the guitar ear candy

the vocal stays front and center without being too loud and karaoke... nice job!

like the smooth bass line.

Rob, thanks a  million for weighing in on this!  I've learned a lot from listening to you over the years.  Nobody does it better than you.  Your words are very encouraging!
