Fall From Grace

[rightonthemark]

here's one from my young friend Austin.
this has been laying dormant for a while.
so i decided to finally finish the mix as is.

Austin Cornette - music, lyrics, guitar
Mick Lovering - bass
Tricia Dovidio - vocals, melody
Smurf - drum programming
Mark Shrider - mix, additional programming

Fall From Grace
(words and music by Austin Cornette)

***verse1***
You've - got my mind racing
You've - got my heart chasing
& you've - got my soul singing

***chorus***
And I can't fake this feeling upon me
And if I feel right then we were meant to be
I can't wipe this smile from my face
Even after this hard fall from grace

***verse2***
You've - got me wrapped around your finger
You've - made me a believer
...and it makes me start to linger...

***(chorus)***

***bridge***
Someone's gotta get me thru the night
Break the darkness to see the light
Give me someone to come home to
And I want it; I want it to be you

***(chorus)***
***(chorus)***

thanks everyone for their input & fantastic performances.

A real decent song and mixed well, Mark.

Kudos to Austin and the rest of the collaborators.

[rightonthemark]

thanks Billy.
although, i think i uploaded the wrong file.
i had three different mixes andni think this was number two.
I'll have to check when i get home in the morning.
but thanks for listening and commenting.

Nice song Mark... Tricia is doing better and better melodies each time she sings, very nice.

[rightonthemark]

thanks Paulo.
yeah Tricia's vox and melody was a perfect fit for this tune.

[AndyG6508]

Nice on gang. I agree, Tricia is the star of this one. Great melody line too. The Japanese sounding middle part took me by surprise.

I liked the acoustic guitar.

Mark, do you think the snare could have been beefed up a bit?

Here's the mix version i meant to upload.

[rightonthemark]

thanks Andy.
as for that snare sound...
i think it originally was beefier but i asked smurf for sound similar to No Excuses by Alice In Chains.
i suppose it could have been a little beefier but i think it fit the style of the song pretty well.
the second mix i think is a little better with the drums not so intrusive, a little more guitar & bass too.

thanks...

Mark
