This is another road trip love song. And it sure was a task putting this together. But it's finally presentable. I deleted more tracks than I've ever done in the process. I finally found the right tracks to make this happen. Some of the track info got lost when I deleted tracks (*). I hope you enjoy this. Feel free to comment.

So here's the important stuff:

BB tracks

Guitars: 649, 4492, 1850, 1025
Bass: 995
Mando: * pretty low in the mix
Drums: RD Nashville Pop
B3: 686
Vocals: Solaria
Lead and other misc clean guitars: Me & Spark40/Tele

Get Lost


Get Lost (With You)

[Verse]
City lights are fading fast
Let's run loose forget the past
Hand in hand we trace our way
Through the night let's slip away

[Verse 2]
Mile by Mile we feel so free
With you here it's all I need
Whispers travel in the air
Together we’ve got no cares

[Chorus]
I wanna get lost with you
Find places we never knew
Just me and you in the groove
Get lost together with you.

[Verse 3]
Maps and plans we leave behind
In this world just you and I
Every step a new surprise
In your eyes my love resides

[Verse 4]
Through the night till morning light
Side by side we'll find the light
No direction we don't care
As long as I'm with you there

[Chorus]
I wanna get lost with you
Find places we never knew
Just me and you in the groove
Get lost together with you.

Oh Oh Oh Oh

V4
Chorus

Herb...really nice track and song...man you make Solaria sound so good and natural...love the chugging guitars on this one...love the break-down...great effort!!
Posted By: rsdean Re: Get Lost - 07/24/24 07:15 PM
Herb,

Love this! The track has such a great contemporary sound. The mix is tremendous - big & full.

Solaria sounds strong singing this piece - great phrasing. You have an excellent touch with Synth V.

Really enjoyed this.

Bob

Hi Herb,

Good rocker - with plenty of light and shade and excellent guitar work.

Best Regards
Nigel

Herb,

So, what's not to like about this? I would say, "Not a thing." Every track contributes as I suspect you intended it to.

This has a contemporary sound that would probably do well on both the country and pop charts. Your music is always well worth the time to listen. This one put a smile on my face.

I've done a lot of traveling in my time (42 countries and all but 2 states) - i can empathize with the desire to go anywhere with some you care for - and to keep gpoing wherever.

Nicely done in all respects.

Alan

The treat in this one is your lead work.
Ace work on the synth vox. Nice progression under the chorus too.
Posted By: DC Ron Re: Get Lost - 07/25/24 08:26 AM
Herb, super song! Toe tapping fun and very hooky with killer lead guitar fills. The vocals sound great and the overall mix is sparkly. You're playing the music my ears want to hear. Love it!
Posted By: MarioD Re: Get Lost - 07/25/24 01:22 PM
Herb, this sounds fantastic
I thought that was a real singer until I reread your post - brilliant work
Loved your guitar tone and chops
Nice stops
Great mix

Thank you. I'm almost satisfied with the guitars on this. There's always something I think I could have done better when I listen. I'm glad you like it.

Thanks Bob. I've been working on getting more contemporary with the sound. And it really doesn't require a lot to get a full sound. People think it takes a bunch of tracks but it really doesn't. Anyway, thanks for listening and commenting.

Really cool man.

This has a nice groove and modern poppy feel to it.
Posted By: WaoBand Re: Get Lost - 07/26/24 05:58 AM
Really well produced positive love song. Solaria works really well on the vocals.

Hi Herb,

Love the hook! That's something you don't hear that much these days, but really adds to the song.

Guitars overall sound great. Vocal sounds great too, very natural.

Good song!
Posted By: BabuMusic Re: Get Lost - 07/26/24 12:37 PM
WOW, this is a knock-me-off-my-seat-and-get-me-on-my-feet kinda song. I'd love to take a road trip with ya, Herb. This is such a good write. Not sure of the bandmates you fired, but the ones you finally hired are just perfect. Love the lyrics and the melody you made for them. You've really found the magic button on these synths. Guitars are perfect in their response. So well played.

Thanks Alan. I've had the philosophy for a long time to add nothing to the music that isn't necessary. (see my signature below) Less is more in many cases. Thanks for listening.

Hi, Herb.

Nice pop - as the songs says, "Everything in the groove". Easy on the ears, bops right along.

Everything a pop song needs to be.
Posted By: Ezekiel's Storm Re: Get Lost - 07/28/24 11:03 PM
Very catchy chorus---what a hook! Very notable guitar work. You've got a hit in the making. Very enjoyable to listen to.
Posted By: Bass Thumper Re: Get Lost - 07/28/24 11:31 PM
Hey Herb,
When I first saw 4 guitars and a mando, I thought this will be a muddy mess.
But not so, you produced a great pop song and the mix is crisp and clean.

Great job.

Thanks David. That's what I was going for. Something universally appealing.

This is really an enjoyable listen...aka, I really like the vibe! Good use of the hook and the guitar fills and lead are simply awesome! Great job and I appreciate the breakdown chorus as well.

Really great song, lyrics, groove. Synth V vocals sound great very natural, I think a harmony on the chorus would bring it out a bit more. The mix is perfect ... less is definitely more. Great guitar leads throughout. Very Nice !!!
Posted By: Brad Williams Re: Get Lost - 07/31/24 05:23 PM
Nice song, very pro sounding! I liked the way you used the reverb. Very good production.

Thanks. I always think about a harmony after I get it finished. Maybe I should make a post-it note to hang on my monitor to remind me.....

Thanks for listening. I used the Waves Space Rider reverb on the vocals. I was highly impressed with the quality of the reverb it has. Really nice plug.
Posted By: Janice & Bud Re: Get Lost - 08/03/24 08:19 PM
Pop? Yeah but not over the top pop smile meaning it's melodic and engaging!

The mix sounds good on the Kalis and those drums are standout.

Hey you sat in most excellently with the BiaB wrecking crew.
Fine tone and chops on those guitar parts.

Nice production all around!

Posted By: Deej56 Re: Get Lost - 08/04/24 01:38 AM
Herb,

I find more and more that less is more in a mix. A good approach to add then subtract until the mix is clear and resonates. You nailed it in spades on this one. Catchy, with a commercial goodness to it. Outstanding tune! As good as it gets.

Thanks for coming to the party. I appreciate your comments. It's certainly fun to sit in with the studio band and play.

Thanks for listening

Thanks Deej. Yes indeed. When one figures that out, that's when things start falling into place. Just because you can add tracks doesn't mean you should. I'm still tweeking this behind the scenes. A few things about it still bug me so....... Thanks for listening.

Try with a different device. It's a streaming platform so it should work. Let me know if you can't get it to play and I can send you the mp3 by email..... this is a WAV file but should stream

Great pop song! Super groove, cool riff and the chorus is very catchy. I like those guitars.
What an exceptionally good mix, so airy and yet very tight.
Maybe I missed some dirty edge in Solaria's voice, but I love that softness and you have found the perfect vocal range.

Janne

Hi Herb
Hope you are well
Cool song
Really well mixed
The vocals are really great - you've got that well under control
Good idea to use distorted guitars
It's fun to listen to this song
Great work Herb
Andi ;-)

Hey thanks for coming to have a listen. I'm still working on how to get the vocals to do certain things. I'm glad you like the mix.

  • Solaria sings: check
  • chugging guitars: check
  • Pop: check
  • lots of guitars: check
  • good production: check
  • delete tons of tracks until it sounds good: check


See, it's pretty obvious that this song is right up my alley.
LOVE it!
