Here's another take on Out of The Darkness - this time a rock ballad version.

Thanks to everyone involved - specially Paulo, who apart from his outstanding keys work, put together a stellar mix.

Out Of The Darkness (SmithC/AndyG)

Girl -     come out of the darkness
Girl I know you can
You can believe in me
Treat me like no other man
You can rest your worried mind

Girl - come out of the darkness
Girl I know you can
I can show you the daylight
When you feel alone at night
Just like eyesight to the blind


Shades of laughter to hide yourself from pain
How can I show you that I will always remain
Shades of sorrow written over your face
You can't hide from me even if you don't you express
Girl

Bridge:

Can I explain it can I get through to you
Your understanding of the things that I do
Do you get the feeling that you know that we share
Do you believe that I'll be there?

Solo1 : Keys organ/piano solo
Solo 2 :  Guitar solo

Repeat:

Shades....Girlllll


Then Repeat 1st verse raised two semitones.

Girl come out of the darkness x 4

This did turn out great.
I always thought of this as a ballad from the beginning.
The mix is great.
And the piano...wow...especially in the section right before the middle lead. I love it.
Everyone did a great job.
And to think i had forgotten what i played.
Nice one...

Thanks Henry - very nice gtr fills in there!

Unplugged - waiting on Thunder to provide some gentle percussion stuff I think.

Not to forget the country, hip-hop, jazz/bebop, and polka versions

the "dubble"step version surely

does someone have a didgeridoo?

I do (originally being from Aus). But I was hoping for a bluegrass version. I have a banjo somewhere. Great song. I like this version a lot! 

[AndyG6508]

Thanks for the kind comment Errol.

We really have to get that digeridoo on a song  - Mirror perhaps?
