When Im With You 2

Can’t explain how this song ends up sounding like 70’s southern rock.  Neither of us was greatly influenced by this genre in this decade. 

“Circus in my mind… I’m a clown I’m a fool… Tight rope walker kicks me from behind”   Great line!

Hey Manoog, I took the liberty of adding some energetic female vocals to back you up in the chorus parts.
She sounds a little smarter than you (snicker) which is interesting because these tracks were created from
your vocal tracks, all voice inflection is you raised an octave.  This is the same trick I used in John’s
“Down On Weighted Knees” using the Roland V-Vocal plug-in. 
The drums get a bit exuberant in the last chorus.  For example, you hear a snare, two toms, and a hi-hat
all at the same time.  Your average two handed drummer might consider this bad taste.

We had a great night of recording and it was a lot of fun getting these tracks down.  Let’s do it again soon!  All comments welcome…      Todd

My friend Adam wrote the song in the late 1980’s.  We played and recorded various versions of it during the early 1990’s.  My arrangement is somewhat true to the original, but certainly more modernized and richer in acoustic instrumentation in this version.  We had a lot of fun recording it at your house!  Thanks for all the work on this!  I will listen to it now.      Manoog
