Liner Notes

Inspired by a thread about DAW-less recording here in my almost DAW-less entry for today.
Drums were done on EZdrummer in Reaper and final trimming of the mixed file was also done in Reaper. Everything else done on a Zoom R8 (including Mastering which seems to have a weird gate running in the opening, but I'm not re-doing it at this stage!)

Lyrics

You walked out to the bus and waved
I watched your lights fading away
For all your genius and confidence out there
I know I'll never see you again

We grew up in each others lives
Sharper than brand new kitchen knives
And I will miss the wit that you used as your blade
I now I'll never see you again

Reuben, your time has come
Reuben, it's all yours now
Reuben, your time has come
Reuben, it's all yours

I drew myself a stupid map
Of where I want to go, but I know I'll come back
For all my life is surely rooted in this town
Iknow I'll never see you again

So much to run from
People that you knew
So much to dream about
So much to try and fail

Reuben, your time has come
Reuben, it's all yours now
Reuben, your time has come
Reuben, it's all yours

Great lyrics, very relevant both for so many people who left their home town and never returned as well as those who stayed. Nice full sound, very enjoyable listen. 😎
