First song on my player.
Started this song some 25 years ago for a local contest, but had no way to do a decent recording back then, so it went into the 'incomplete' pile.
Pulled it out 2 weeks ago, rewrote and added. Started recording last week, did the vocals Thursday night, and quick mixing the last two days. Still need to do a little vocal volume automation.

+/- Orchestra and/or more/bigger choir voicing material(s)?
Sounds to me like the Kinks plus a sax player..lol

More voices, or just bring them up in the mix? There are already 6 chorus voices!
I don't want to add any more instruments unless they added something in particular, thought the current lineup gives it an early-Springsteen sound (2 electrics, bass, piano, sax, drums - acoustic only used during the first part of the bridge).

It did remind me of some early SS Johnny.

Maybe I could duplicate the chorus tracks and put some 'ozzifiers' on them - it can triplicate the track adding some chorus and delay FX.
Jahva- yeah, I've got a folder full of songs half-finished, not counting the ones I recorded for my first CD that got axed and others I recorded and didn't even consider for that album - most/all of them need to be retracked because I know a lot more about recording now (and have better equipment).

'Ozzifiers'? Damn you know you made it when they name effects after you!

I did not care for this one Mike.
No real reason in mind. Just did not like it.
I still appreciate your posting music though.
Thanks.
