Opening with a wickedly jaunty beat and getting straight down to the main question

Everything might could come from Love
and you can find it
in the right places

This is Powerpop in essence. The Bangles hitting on Metallica.

No drink taken.

Light up in a Shower of Rainbows

Nize.

Thanks all!

I am chuffed with the Bangles and Metallica reference! Does this mean I look as sexy as the Bangles and rock hard and true like Metallica? or more realistically, am as glamourous as Metallica and rock like the spangly Bangles.

I will post the lyrics soon, so you can actually work out what I was singing about, I missed eleqution lessons at school, so my sort of half cockney dialect ain't too easy to decipher.

This was probably the quickest song I have ever recorded. I spent a few hours in a Fosco like haze writing out lyrics. Then a few days later I spent 4 hours writing, recording and mixing the masterpiece in Logic.

Laid out the drums using Drums on Demand. Then started playing along at the fevourously fast pace of 170 bpm. My playing tops out at about 120 bpm, so it's only the last verse and chorus where my bass and guitar playing are in the groove, but it's all live - 3 guitar tracks, 1 bass and DOD make up the backing. I didn't even bother to fix any mistakes. I did throw in one sound effect loop from the remix tools jam pack, but the next day this sounded a bit pants so I might leave that out of any subsequent versions.

Thanks again

Rich, the wisdom of Eno, mate, "We expect more than our audience." You're too hard on yourself, the looseness you mention due to tempo just carries the swing feel through the chorus, to my mind, keeping the quirky, mid show, change up feel. There's nothing pants about the version I'm listening to, it is exactly what it is.

Rock on Richie! You should release as a double A along with Om Mani Padme Hum. What a great pair they would make.

This is an awsome tune indeed. How you people make tunes like this in a few hours is just amazing. Great stuff.
