Away With The Tide

about

Well, I wasn't entirely certain I'd manage it, but with a couple of hours to spare (by GMT, anyway), here is my 14th and final song contribution to FAWM 2013...

At the start of today, I really wasn't sure how this one would come out - I knew I wanted to come up with quite a dreamy, ethereal, floaty kind of piece, rather like Brian Eno's mid-late-70s output. I also had a title; what I DIDN"T have, was anything more... so I fired up Garageband on the iPhone 4S and started doodling some chords with the electric piano "smart keyboard" instrument.

Believe it or not, what you hear on this track, all sprouted from that... well, *I* can't believe it, anyway :-) The electric piano track remains; I also recorded in GB, a flutey melodic synth part (re-voiced as a "Mellotron"), electric guitar, bass guitar and double-tracked vocals, before transferring the lot to Logic Pro on the Mac and adding two 70s-string-synth (MIDI guitar) tracks, and mixing it all.

I think this is a last-minute favourite of mine, and I'm pretty happy to have completed my FAWM "album" on this note.

lyrics

See where the water and sky overlap
The sea-spray and clouds become one
Follow the line from horizon to shore
This time tomorrow, we've gone

Over the waves and far away
Over the salt-crests we'll ride
Away with the tide
