Title: Heroes 'middle 8' bicycle rider/iron horse
Post by: mike s on September 11, 2022, 03:12:54 AM
Attempt at middle section of 'Heroes'.  This would come after the first verses and before 'my children' - possibly the softer 'my children' from Smiley.

No pitch bending or trickery at all.  When slotted into the song all this would prob have to be shifted a semitone - H&V is in C sharp isn't it..?

This needs tidying but I'd love any feedback.  Cheers.

Thanks for making this, it's definitely interesting to hear! Though I must say I think there's a reason this idea didn't seem to get very far.... It sort of almost works? but definitely not quite!

Cheers for listening :) Can you expand a bit on why it doesn't work for you..?

I think BR and Iron Horse flow together really well.  I've overlaid a few different vocals onto Iron Horse and it might be cleaner without them.  I'll do another bounce with them turned off.

The reason I drop the lead vox in and out out of IH is to differentiate it from Cabinessence so it becomes a repeated theme but changed.
