Equipment Used

Mac G4 with OWC Processor upgrade, OWC FireWire 800 drive, M-Audio Fast Track audio interface, Shure Beta 58 mic, Brian Moore Guitars iGuitar, Apple GarageBand software, M-Audio Oxygen 8 keyboard (used to program drum track)

I got the song idea from a conversation I had with a friend (thanks Claire) about embracing one's destiny as you move thru life. I also came up with a bitchin guitar riff in drop D tuning and I was off and running. I wrote the words first and then started brainstorming music. The heavy riff became the chorus. I built the song on a few very cool GarageBand drum loops and then I programmed some additional drum fills to set up the transition from section to section. I laid down 2 guitar tracks and I even did some "harmony" lead guitar in the solo section. The solos were first take! This song came together fast, done in 1 day. As with all songs I do, I always revisit them later to see if it still sounds as good as I thought it did when I was creating it and to make some tweaks. This was one of the last songs I wrote for the CD and I can't imagine the CD without it. I hope you have fun exploring the tracks!

Lyrics

You dance around the truth
You can’t look this fire in the eye
Soul searching for the answers
This flame will sweep you higher and higher

Day by day
You’re moving closer 2 it

You can’t resist this gravity
As it pulls you closer to reality
You can’t believe you lost control
But life will take you where it wants to go

Day by day
You’re moving closer 2 it
