Description

Five months and twenty tracks, and it is finally completed. Anthony Frazier and myself put a lot of time and creativity into this project. I received many comments on the original post here at MacJams. I decided to start over with a clean slate. It turned out to be a major project for us both, as we pushed each other musically. I want to thank Michael Bacich for writing such a awesome bass line, I had fun playing it.

Lyrics By - Anthony Frazier, and Steve Caustrita
Vocals Arranged and Performed, By - Anthony Frazier
Music Performed By - Steve Caustrita
Mastered at Smoke Cloud Studio by Steve Caustrita

Enjoy!

	Wow I am glad you enjoyed the song. But the guitar? No sure, but we did have many issues with the recording of the guitars, so I went for that live feel. To get the strumming the same of four guitars, was a challenge. As you noted Anthony did a fantastic job on the vocals. Thanks again! Check out my latest song called Sunset Pier

	Tops! I really like the production on this so crisp and clear. The vocals on this are outstanding. I like the way it kind of drifts off in the end leaving the listener to repeat life without you. Cool hook ! Check out my latest song called when its love

	Tops Your comments are appreciated, Anthony and I worked on producing a passionate and laid back feel to the vocals, but his delivery sealed the deal! Check out my latest song called Sunset Pier

	Bassooni Blues Well, the oboe is one of those ducky things too, few really play them either...we suffer through them for orchestration sake I guess. Daug Check out my latest song called Daphne w/ Andy Wigzell

	Life without you Man.... Anthony's vocals on this are just amazing... and the whole thing is just fantastic. D/l and faved! Great things take time and this proves it Check out my latest song called Halloween Wandering/PickQuickRecords

scaustrita	scaustrita said 137 days ago (July 12th, 2009)
	Vocals There were a few arrangements of the vocal but we ended up using a simpler arrangement that focus more on the pain and despair of a "Life Without You". And Anthony captured it perfectly. Check out my latest song called Sunset Pier

I just got a chance to stop by and say Hi to everyone. I think the song came out so well because Steve has a great talent in music. From it's meager beginnings I think this song came out in spades.
Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments. I had a lot of fun working on this with Steve and hope to work with him again sometime.

TheReverendAG	TheReverendAG said 115 days ago (August 3rd, 2009)
	Dag what 5 months Sounds incredibly professional, which is what I would expect with that duration of work. The main guitar sounds very 12 stringy, although I suppose that could just be an effect. Either way I love that sound in rock songs. Check out my latest song called Can't Stand it
