This song turned up in my head and out from my keyboard while I was installing Microsoft Office 2010. In this track I have combined three softwares: Sibelius 4 with Kontakt Player Gold (for rhodes, strings, harp and arrangement), Audacity (for recording my whistling) and Audiotool (for drums, bass, mixing and effects). Enjoy!
This is really odd. Now that I give this yet another listen, I've changed my mind again. I think I'd like to hear the whistling just a tiny bit more on top. It feels kinda weird to have the drums more on top than the melody. If the cymbals were a touch more laid back, maybe that would open up the pocket a bit. I don't know, it's a very small difference.
There are times when I go back to some of my old posts and cringe, and this is one of those times. The bridge is great, not sure what I was thinking there. I still think the Rhodes should have followed the whistling's beat placement on the melody, (not the comping) but the timing otherwise was good. And I feel silly reading my explanation like you didn't know what laying back was. Ah well, this one's a classic.
