Long Journey
Going on a long journey, never been before
Got a dry anticipation, for a distant shore
Ah yeah, take me there.
Gonna see the sunrise, in a different way
No one said it'd be easy, but it's a brand new day.
Going on a long journey, oh yeah
Long journey, take me there
Ooh yeah
Long journey, oh-yeah, such a long journey,
yeah
God help me, help me please
Let me have what I need
Won't take no more than that,
Your advice, I will heed.
Oh yea, long journey
I've never been before
Got a dry anticipation
For a distant shore, for a distant shore….
Distant shore…..
Gonna see the sunrise, in a different way
No one said it'd be easy,
But it's a brand new day, brand new day.
Oh yeah,
Take me there.

hey masque!

thanks for checking this out, and for responding....

you know,
singing this one, was really easy. maybe i should just stick to the easy ones, eh?!
heheh
the thing i worked on the most, was the phrasing of the rhythm guitars.
i wanted there to be space, between the chords on the electric, while the acoustic kind of blended together.
a balancing act, if you will.
but once i had the bed tracks basic mixed, the singing was done in a couple of takes.

the harmonies, i punched in on this one, but the lead vox was done as an entire verse, or chorus or bridge at a time.

last bump before i pull this one down...
