Thanks. I know that Jimmy Webb is a producer and arranger but is he also a multi-instrumentalist as well (ie: the whole band)?
Lyrics reminded me of him. Nice chords , too. I think I have a song with that exact same progression during the chorus, maybe sometime if I can dig it up...
Thanks again (and to RangeRoverA1 as well). Halblaineisgood, maybe we should collaborate on something. For the Oneness project, I've just been piling up tons of backing tracks and these guys in LA (I'm in Vegas) pick them and add their vocals/lyrics. I go there at least once a month because I'm also involved with a rock opera (The Lottery) out there. Point being if you also have a home recording studio, we could work on a song together or something even bigger trading wav files through Dropbox.
Per Jimmy Webb: as I was cleaning and rearranging my studio yesterday, I listened to The Magic Garden by the 5th Dimension (still love "Requiem") but then when I followed it up with one of the new Zeppelin remaster bonus cds (II) it kind of blew it away. Rock and roll, baby!
Per lyrics on Oneness: all written by French film maker Emmanuel Itier and sung by AM Radio front man Kevin Ridel. I just write and record backing tracks and see which ones they pick. Then they send me wavs of the vocals and I match them in my project and mix away. It's much more fun than designing and selling shrubberies. Look for me on Facebook (Eric Lapp) for more whacky adventures.
