Re: On your way to Hell

Hey Tom,

That is quite exceptional especially as it is your first song.

I think it would interest a lot of Chordie members to know how you went about getting it produced. Did you take it to a local band or recording studio or what? And who is performing the song for you, your choice or the producers? I would be fascinated to know the story behind it.

Thank you,

Roger

Re: On your way to Hell

Thank you all for your kind comments. I got the idea for the song when I saw someone reading a book called the 'Five people you meet in Heaven' (I think that's what it's called). I then thought about the people you would meet if you were on your way to Hell.

I had the song produced by a guy called Mike Caro (substudio). He plays all the instruments and produced the song, including vocals for $450 (about £230 in real money LOL). I sent him a rough demo which was recorded straight to PC (with me on vox and guitar, singing and playing very badly). He sent me a couple of rough demos and eventually we got the finished product. This was the first time I ever had a recording produced and I am very pleased with the result. Mike is a nice guy who I came across on a couple of the other boards. I am not sure who the singer is, but he did an awsome job on vox.

Thanks again for all the feedback.

Happy songwriting
