Link: The Reason

Another bad cover of a great song by a wannabe musician.
But - dissecting and rearranging a great song is by far the coolest way to learn how something is done.

I've always loved this song, and since the original is already pretty close to my own B.D.Thomas™ style and I did NOT want to make a clone, I decided to go in the opposite direction.
Let me know whether this works for you or not.

To quote Floyd: Write something smile

Thank you, Marty, for always finding the time to give me feedback on early versions of my songs.
You are the best Marty ever! (okay, together with Marty McFly grin )

Some technical information:
Style: UNKEMPT.STY

The band:
Bass: 1268
Drums: PraiseWorshipUptempo16
Guitars: yours truly
Synthesizers: me
Strings: 2952, 2953, 3554, me
Piano: 1533 + me

WOW what a fantastic cover. The best synth vocal I have heard thus far.


My dad showed me a 30-minute PowerPoint presentation of why one should always wear a condom during sex. They were all pictures of me!
