Man, I think you’re almost there, what do you think about this for the closing line in the chorus
‘Sionara crazy lady, never more to suffer at your hands’
Like I said earlier, I’m not a vocalist but i think I’ve managed to convey the idea.
Moral of the story, don’t get married.
Haha, I was channeling my inner Mike Patton on that one.
Yeah no probs, I can do a run through, just so we have a bit of a guide to give to the ACTUAL vocalist.
Yeah, I wouldn’t get too hung up on things having to always rhyme, I don’t think it detracts from the message, or the vibe, and feels a little more contemporary. You don’t hear a lot of rhyming lyrics in rock these days tbh.
Haha, nice one. I just feel in this day and age marriage is used as a crutch, and a (misguided) solution to help repair a broken relationship. Far too many getting married for all the wrong reasons, hence the insane rate of divorce.
Starting to sound like a real song now.
just a rough stereo mix drum mix at this stage, just waiting on the stems.
Hey Paul, yeah this things kinda taken on a life of it’s own, it’s bigger than both of us at at this point haha. Yep those drums will be loud, this isn’t a mix, in fact there’s no processing , it’s just a rough stereo bounce, so it only gets better from here on out.
We might have to find ourselves a good mixer to take on the project, you know anyone?
Haha ain’t that the truth. If you’re doing it to try and please someone else you’re in for for a world of heartache.
I wouldn’t be too worried about getting plays on Spotify, this really just comes down to personal satisfaction and having and end product to be truly proud of.
Got all the drum tracks in and did a rough balance and eq. No compression or additional processing/effects at this stage.
You can really hear the nuance of his playing, with the ghost notes on the snare, and his room sounds really nice.
And yeah, I agree here, it’s amusing but doesn’t add much, and has zero to do with the overall theme. I tried to come up with something similar but I was drawing big fat blanks. Even turned to your friend Rhymezone, but there’s sweet fuck all that rhymes with ‘iron’ haha
Yeah, had the drums come in so had to check them out and approve them. As they saying goes, there will be plenty of time for sleeping when I’m dead.
Put it up brother, can’t wait to check it out.
No it’s just called ‘participation’ and I’m making up for quite an extended absence. And it might be another 6 months before i’m back making music now that things are healing up so I’m just making the most of the time I’ve got.
Here’s an updated version with fresh bass guitar added. Very gritty, but oh so tasty.
Oh man, that’s a terrible condition. I used to shear sheep in another life and would to get severe carpal tunnel but thankfully it isn’t too much of a problem these days.
It’s gonna be a bit of down time for sure, but you’ll be a new man on the other side of it.
He tracking them as we speak, he reached out yesterday for a voxless backing track. I have a feeling they’re gonna come out great. I realized after listening back to the voxless version while reading along to the lyrics that the “Sionara crazy lady” line doesn’t fit over the last 2 choruses so it will be interesting to see what he comes up with there.
I guess we’re gonna find out.
Yeah it’s been great hanging again.
My biggest problem Feak is that when I immerse myself in a project, whether that be writing or mixing I jump in with both feet to the point where it becomes all-consuming (borderline obsessive compulsive) and I tend to neglect my day to day work commitments, so as a consequence I have to completely remove myself from working on any music creation activities simply so I can get my day jobs done. Kinda sucks, would be nice to juggle both work and music in harmony.
They’ve just come in, and they’re INSANE! I’ll get him to make the changes to those lines in the choruses before I put it up 
feaker (and terry?),
I listened to the latest mix: it all sounds very good to me! It’s harder rock than most of your songs, yes?
We’re getting pretty close with Feaker’s rock number “The Great Escape” now, and all the elements are in.
Just trying to get the final touches on the mix, and I really don’t think I could take it much further at this stage without going backwards so I’m calling it.
Would be interested to hear if there’s any glaring issues I may have overlooked that need attention before we get this bad boy mastered and call it a wrap.
Just a few finishing touches on an updated mix mostly balance-wise, but I’m call it DONE whether I’ve forgotten anything or not haha.
The Great Escape - Final Mixdown - No limiting
Well done gents! good to see you guys teaming up on projects 
feaker/terryh,
Commenting on “The Great Escape”: I would be very surprised if feaker is singing on this. Since I have known feaker for a long time (on the interwebs), I wonder who did what parts. Regardless, it all (including the mix) sounds quite good to me!
feaker,
OK, thank you for replying.
