Lady Macbeth (AndyD, PVD, AndyG, Albino, Pleasuredome, Vincent)

[docca3]

Well, here's the next offering. It started with some fantastic lyrics from Paul and the germ of a riff from yours truly. Al put some brill drums on it, which really brought it to life while AndyG did his usual magic on bass Then from left-field came Steve's vocals .... completely different to what was originally in my head, but I can't imagine this any other way now ... and it takes this to a whole new level - brilliant To top it all, after much to-ing and fro-ing, Vincent came up with a wonderfully atmospheric mix - finishes it all off beautifully.

Thanks to all for your talents in bringing this song to life and to let it breathe.

Here it is

Lady Macbeth

Lyrics - By PVD
Music - AndyD

(v1)
The winds howled high on the hill
Dampness crept in carrying a chill
Rains poured down, streets ran red
Bloodied hands so much to dread
Memories of death I can't shed
I sleep alone but I feel Macbeth

(v2)
I hear commands they echo still
She pushed me, forced me to her will
A calculated evil plan
She knew the ending before it began
Ghosts of death silently stand
How do you sleep, Lady Macbeth

(chorus)
I stood for a moment
As he greeted death
I did her bidding
He drew his last breath
Behind me, she smiled
Like Lady Macbeth

(v3)
Guilt was interrupted by a knock at the door
They rushed in; threw me to the floor
I was dragged outside, I could see her there
She screamed out, that's him I swear
Under my breath I whispered a prayer
I was standing alone but felt Macbeth

(v4)
Sitting in my cell I'm covered in shame
While she walks free escaping blame
What I've done I can't defend
As I count down the days till the end
On my date with death I'll make amends
My empathy is with Macbeth

(chorus)
I stood for a moment
As he greeted death
I'd done her bidding
He drew his last breath
Behind me, she smiled
Like Lady Macbeth

There is to much Tremlo on the guitars... 

Damn - I knew there was something else that needed to be done  hehehehehehe

but seriously - the mix came together great in the end. The tremelo adds an extra dimension as do all those weird sounds behind the guitar fills .... very atmospheric

[Albino]

Turned out alright this one, didn't it.
I think this was my second maybe third collab, I was still finding my feet.
I just love the whole idea of a group of strangers getting together and creating something that ROCKS!
