Alright... another rocker done! Pretty happy with this one and it turned out much better than I expected thanks to Paul, Todd & Mark.  8) 8) 8)  Both Paul and Todd were an extra special treat since they're not always around to do some collabing. Having Paul Townsend come in (from years being away from here) with some lyrics & vocals kicked off the tune and some 'Thunder' on the drums finalized the deal. The vocals kick ass and the drums ROCK!! BUT... I have to give an extra hat's off to Mark for really going that extra mile to make this the best possible mix. Fantastic job and much better than I could ever do with my limited mixing skills.

I thought we were done but Todd ran the final mix through a 'distressor' which helped to warm things up and take off some of the digital edge. Sounds great!!  :)

You guys really went all out on this one. THANKS!! I really appreciate the help guys.  Hope we can do another some time!  >:D

NOT LETTIN' GO

I look into your eyes an' all I ever see is superstition
I drip into your lips an' everything you say's a secret kiss

I don't know what you're about
I can't sleep, scream or shout
I don't know how to grow
With you it's like a drug and I'm not lettin go-oh-oh
Coz you are like a drug and I'm not lettin go-oh-oh (ooooh!)
Coz you are like a drug...

So tell me that you want me if you want it badly an' I might comply
It's hard to recognize the innocence that compromises you and I

CHORUS

So tell me what you'll tell me...
Tell me what you'll tell me...
Tell me what you'll tell me...
Tell me what you'll tell me...

It's hard for me too....
It's hard for me too.... x2

I don't know what you're about
I can't sleep, scream or shout
I don't know how to grow
With you it's like a drug and I'm not lettin go
I don't know what you're about
I can't sleep, dream or even shout
I don't know how to grow
With you it's like a drug and I'm not lettin go-oh-oh
Not lettin go-oh-oh (ooooh!)
Not lettin go-oh-oh (ooooh!)

This is a great song guys. Came out really good. I love the dynamics you were able to get out of a online session. That doesn't happen to often. Nicely put together.

We never finish a mix... we simply abandon them.

Great songs are not written, they are re-witten

Man... talk about being in the right place at the right time Dave!
It's like you said, you were lucky to catch Paul and Todd while they were "passing thru" and the results are awesome!!
It's also nice to see Mark back in the mixing saddle again... hope everything is working out well in the new house Mark. :)

Thanks for listening gang. I think this turned out pretty fine.  :)  It's nice to be back playing a bit more. Collabing is just too much fun!!  :)
