Close Your Eyes Original

[Byron]

I dont think the childrens version made it into the talent show but Byron can address that.

We took the children’s version, changed up the lyrics & added lots of stuff that you all suggested. Here’s what we came up with:

Aly: Sparse finger picked electric rhythm & muted electric chug rhythm, lyrics, initial mix
Byron: All vocals, acoustic finger style, electric drone rhythm
Dominique: Bass, distored electrci chug rhythm, final mix
Steve: Solos, parallel harmonies
Drums: Drums, shakers, & tambourine tracks all from youtube

To all who listened to the numerous versions & to all who offered suggestions-this was a collaboration of many talented people from this forum & thank you to all who participated out front or behind the scenes. Great job everyone.

Special thanks to Dominique for the final mixing & all the bells & whistles he applied to really make the song pop. There were so many tracks, I had a hard time wtih it & was so happy for his expertise!

Enjoy the song, kinda like our own GF talent show 🙂

Nice work guys! Driving rhythm, beat, harmony and lead made this an easy listen. Yeah, the mix was great too.
