Topic: So Hard

Hi all
I was rummaging around and came across an old cassette tape of some songs I recorded nearly 20 years ago using a Tascam. By way of an experiment I downloaded this song on to the PC. I cleaned it up as best I could and added a keyboard track.
The quality sucks somewhat but there it is.....
Oh I did the vocals. I guess your realise why I mainly do instrumentals now. smile

I think I had in mind the oppression and extermination of the Jews in Poland by the Nazi during the 2nd world war.

Hey Ark - Good melancholy song - I also tried it with a Bm7 and that works too....easier chord transition for me.

Nice!

Re: So Hard

hi tony,

i think your vocals are pretty good actually, pink floyd meets eric clapton. i wonder how it would sound if you re-recorded it now?

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: So Hard

Howdy Ark smile

I loved it, with the recording/playing skills you've developed over the years you should take another crack at recording it. Your voice definitely has a Floyd feel to it.

Please say OK smile

Cheers
