Old Town

Aridstarling

Hey lads, just want to let you know that we were recording during the week and we got a good bit done. Going to finish it all off next week. We got one song finished so far though and that track "Old Town" is now up on Bebo and Myspace for your listening pleasure. I wrote the song last June, just before I did my leaving. This is the best version so far I believe, though I do have a reggae/ska-ish version too!

I'll post the lyrics here so you can have a go at them if you want!:D

Old Town

So boy you don't want to leave?
Don't you know theres nothing for you here?
Nothing but this, this old town.

This old place is sucking you dry.
Draining all the colour from your life.
Nothing left in this, this old town.

You've got a girl, run to her,
She will take you in.
You've got a girl, be good to her,
She goes deeper than the skin.

Your life is going 'round in cirlces son.
You're not the very first and only one,
To fade away in this old town.

Go and promise me you wont look back,
Until you're far beyond the beaten track.
You will never miss this old town.

You've got a girl, run to her,
She will take you in.
You've got a girl, be good to her,
She goes deeper than the skin,
She goes deeper than the skin.



Cheers,

Ian

Ian that's stonking. Brilliant. Well written, performed and recorded. For me it's faultless and beautiful. Congatulations. Those 'birds' of yours have great voices.

Where did you record it?

Aridstarling

Thanks man, I recorded it all at home with my modest shed setup. We're going to start making copies of the demo for future gigs (14th of May in the Village is next) and hopefully get a few around to people with influence. Who knows, maybe Sony will give us all enough money to quit our jobs...

14th of May? Defo make it this time.
May see about an Airingroom in between then and now if you're up for it.
I'll put it on the thread soon anyway and see what happens.
Cracking tune all the same Ian.
