new song > lay it down

I have to tell you, this song posed some new challenges. It was one of the first songs I did where I sat down and kind of felt like just going out to the hot tub and saying…why bother? There was not a particular reason, it was just one of those motivational challenges. No inspiration, no enthusiasm, no motivation – and that folks is a recipe for trouble no matter what you are trying to finish. Thankfully I managed to roll up my sleeves and catch a wave…and what a wave we have here today. Lay it down…Some of the notable firsts; very chillin groove, clocking in at 63 beats per minute, any of you drummers out there know that a slow groove is hard to maintain – and that was the case here. If you have a decent stereo system and get the cd audio (when I make it available), you will find your house rumblin from the bass on this song- very full and clean low end there… I decided to beef cake the outro with a kind of drum solo – but in order to keep the vibe I had to really mix down the drums…it almost sounds like a thunderstorm to me. I let it go vocally too on the outro – why not? So, you can hear the song here . You can download it here. The lyrics are here. Finally – I have been told that I need to take care of the player / lyrics issue, i.e. – when you play the song and click the lyrics the song stops – the way around this is to have 2 browsers open – I will try to get set up so the lyrics just sit in the window – if anyone of you has an easy solution I’m all ears.

    I want to play wah wah on this – the song needs to be shorter, like 2:30 – 4 minutes – what is this Led Zepellin?
