Longing for the day ...

Recording Alive and Alone - Day 5

More completed today. Lots more?

Well, actually, it felt like a lot but today was compromised by other activities with kids and work and so on. Not as many hours put in, so not as much accomplished. Managed to get Devil's Highway, AKA "I Need Your Soul" down, and some of "Angels".

Angels is proving tricky - partly because I'm not exactly sure how to approach it and partly because I love it so much that I'm trying too hard. Now, my arrangement and groove for this song is heavily influnced by Sonia Dada's songs "Paradise", "Deliver me", and "The Edge of the Night". Ridiculously great voice - I wish I could sing like this - and such a soulfull groove. Here they are in concert in Australia (Brisbane, I think) in 1993, which is where they blew me away:

So, the long and the short is that if I get over myself and get that guitar groove down, I'm almost done with guitars ... then on to vocals!
