Down to the wire by John Your Mate

An old rehearsal song from a band that never did any gigs that I liked and have tried to breathe new life into. Master and mixed by @gary-brady at Total Thrive Productions. Words: The light is reflected through a lens and burned on As a snapshot in time Turn the pages, see the ageing faces That put the dead into line It’s up to you It’s up to me We’ll take it down to the wire The starting gun won’t hold you up Don’t try hard to fight The battles won you know that could have stopped the war Only God knows The past lies all chequered, a chorus for the ages So leave those flags far behind All these maybes, they just drive me crazy Just beat the clocks down to size Do you hear me? Am I speaking in tongues? You think I’m a joke But the joke’s on you What goes around you son of a gun I’m not coming alone A duo, not a solo Walk in calm solitude I dig your son of a gun

Genre: Alternative Rock

ahhh...life breathed into an old tune...may not have performed it, but the essence of the tune and the band lives on in here. Liked the mix...great drums...bass in up front...rhythms guitars off to the sides...vocal set smoothly into the mix...taking this one out for a test drive with a new band? Liked hte chord sustained at 2:48 and the shift in attitude at that point...spoken poetry...comes back around in the chorus...great new life in this tune...kudos on the remaster :)
