Love Song 1 - Piccadilly Shirkers

[AndyG6508]

A second offering from - The Piccadilly Shirkers!

Nicely choppy and tasteful guitar work from Docca3 (AndyD), solid skins work from Albino (Steve), and a balls-y mix from the Cosmic Dolphin made this simple song sound......great!!!

Mucho thanks guys!

Love Song No. 1 (Lyrics: G.Colville, Music: G.Colville/A.Gupta (c) 2009, 2011

There's something about the way you look you smile
I could do anything I'd run a mile
Now I see and I understand
(why) I've come so far from a distant land

I want to hold you so very close right now
Feeling your warmth your touch if you will now
I'd like to get right under your skin
To feel your pleasure at every whim

Chorus:
So step outside the corners of your mind into your soul
Step into a life we once both knew and now a hole

Solo

I've taken such a chance to be with you
My hopes are fading and I know we're through
You are now under my skin
To waste our love would be a sin

Chorus:
So step outside the corners of your mind into your soul
Step into a life we both once knew and now a hole

Credits:

Gareth Colville: Lead vocals
Andy Doherty: Guitars including solos
Steve Smith: Drums
Mark Morgon-Shaw: Mix and production/master

Many thanks to Henry (Docmidnite) and Steffen (Stoman) for their advice regarding arrangements during the initial stages of the song's development.

Cheers

A great little ditty that is AndyG. Turned out really well considering the initial problems we had with it, turned out better than I expected so thanks Mark for a great mix.
Fantastic guitar and vox also.

I'm looking forward to the next one 

[docca3]

Nice to see in this section ... really enjoyed doing this and it's turned out great 

Like Steve - looking forward to the next one already 

[AndyG6508]

Thanks Steve and AndyD, you're on - I will let you know when the next one's up. It's been fun working with you two on this little side project.

Good one boys, another track for the Shirkers 

It's always fun to mix them for you, this one was quite straight forward for a change

[AndyG6508]

Thanks CD, I really appreciate your inputs in making this one sound good. Quite a few neat little production tricks in there huh. The subtle BV on Gareth's vocal is very cool . In spite of the number of seps, it was quite a simple sounding song. Maybe cause the seps didnt all play at the same time  .

I hope you wont "Shirk" when we plant the 3rd song on you .

Ah, yes, I remember this one. Very indie - not quite my favorite style, to be honest, but a perfect job by everybody, no doubt. Mark, you couldn't have done a better mix!

Very nice vocals too. They fit like a glove.

Regards,

This is a really cool tune. Has a modern sound to it. I can totally hear this on the alternative radio staions I listen too. The vocalist sounds great!! Nice job guys. My kinda tune.

[AndyG6508]

Hey Dave,

Im thrilled you liked it - and for all the right reasons too . We wanted it to sound indie yet not retro. Seems it's got aa mid-1990s vibe perhaps.

I will pass on the compliment about the vocals (Gareth).

Thanks again!
Andy
