This one was a lot of work to throw together. It starts off a bit slow but just let it get going.
The melody was something I had rolling around in my head for months and just couldn't come up with lyrics to until one night this story just clicked. I wrote this all out in like 15 minutes. The arrangement came just as suddenly. I feel like i was transmitting more than writing almost...
Anyway the instrumentation was all done by myself on the following instruments:
Primary guitar: Rainsong COWS-1100 carbon fiber guitar
Secondary guitar: Madeira 12 string
Banjo: Crappy Peerless banjo
Vocals: yours truly
Lyrics:
There,
there she goes
ridin' that lonesome road
I've traveled many times.
In
In the sunset
She rides a pale horse
In the rain
She sees
She sees the future
she sees a troubled past
Long gone
She knows
now that shes someone
shes just another girl
with no name
with no name

Thanks. I have been trying to improve my singing. I think I'm finally getting the hang of recording good vocal tracks with my new setup. That banjo always sounds kick ass. I call it a crappy peerless in my description but the fact of the matter is that I think I prefur the sound of cheaper banjos to more expensive "modern" sounding ones. They sound a bit looser and more old- timy which works really well since I'm also using an older style of playing.
holy eff. very very good
I love the overdubbing
it sounds like... idk america or the outlaws, some old country band. nitty gritty dirt band?
but the overdubbing and such makes it sound kind of alt rock-ish
james talor, not in voice, but in the return to the central drone pitch on most lines.
very very cool, having a hard time describing it.

*grins* I'm glad you likes it. Those vocals were hard to line up. I think I ended up recording something like 20 tracks and only using 12 of them. I really like the way the stereophonics makes them sound too. I wish I could have made sound a bit more like a choir though its hard to do that when every thing is being sung in the same voice. I apparently need to listen to more Outlaws and America. All I Know about the later is that they did the soundtrack to the last unicorn which was probably partially responsible for me being in the fandom:)
Eh, I'll take it :) Believe it or not I don't own a single America album and I don't make a habit of listening to their stuff on youtube or anything. I think that the inspiration probably came from my mother who recently started back on horseback riding after a decade or so of being out of the saddle. Like many other cases I saw the similarity working on it and decided to push forward anyway for the sake of producing a song I thought was cool and could stand on its own as a interesting little tonal and spoken word poem.
Thanks you:3

This sounds very impressive! May I ask what sort of setup you're using to record vocals with? I was trying to record some of the songs that I've written last summer but didn't really like how they sounded (and I don't have any experience with editing recordings or anything). I was using an M-box and a Marshall MXL990 mic.

I use a Rode NT1-A wide diaphragm condenser mic to record everything and run that to my computer using a M-audio Fast Track Pro.
The computer I use is a newer MacBook And I use Garageband to record and edit. Most of the time thats all I really need, though Occasionaly I need to use my realistic cardioid condenser as a second mic or a "bottle cap" pickup.
Normally I am pretty good about posting info about how I recorded my projects. I didn't on this one.
