Members LCK Posted March 9, 2012 Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 I love it when Nilsson and Randy Newman get together. By the way, Bee's new song reminded me a little of this Beach Boys tune from 1972. [video=youtube;46IQu0yuJzU] LCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rsadasiv Posted March 9, 2012 Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 So I was trying to finish tracking a version of last night. I had already laid down the drums, bass and organ, which sound vaguely like this. I was mostly playing guitar, the song has four choruses: laid out the first chorus, used the neck pickup and the rhythm channel on the amp to play something like for the second chorus, switched to the bridge pickup and the lead channel to play something like for the third chorus, and then switched back to the neck pickup and the rhythm channel for some of this. Then I added the vocal, which was something like this. Why this combination of elements? They're all influences, aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mark Blackburn Posted March 9, 2012 Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 Loving every single "influence" posted this date. Every one! Quick question: Does Utah "the friendly 'Beehive State'" have a primary this month? 'Cause if the G.O.P. contest goes to a convention this summer, we'll once again hear words like these! "We gotta tell this country about Utah . . . 'cause nobody seems to know." Along with "Caroline" (Randy Newman's best-ever ballad) THIS one's my favorite song from that Nilsson Sings Newman album. Thanks for the memories, Lee! [video=youtube;4bXS73L7hXo] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted March 9, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted March 9, 2012 ^^^ Great song... and... what a voice. I'm, once again, on a 100% Nilsson jag. Without Her. Not Without You, which was a Peter Ham/Badfindger song. Another Nilsson cover. But Nilsson wrote great tunes too. He was a young demo singer and a staff writer before being an artist. He wrote for Phil Spector, Little Richard, Three Dog night, The Monkees. And himself. This song grows on you. Like Bach. Clearly an influence here... [video=youtube;NBuB0FMz_aY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBuB0FMz_aY I spend the night in a chair thinking she'll be thereBut she never comesAnd I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyesAnd I rise to face another dayWithout her, do do do... It's just no good anymore when you walk through the doorTo an empty roomYou go inside and set a table for one, it's no funWhen you have to spend a dayWithout her, do do do...Without her, do do do... We burst the pretty balloon took us to the moonIt's such a beautiful thingBut it's ended nowAnd it sounds like a lieI said I'd rather die than live without herWithout her Love is a beautiful thing when it knows how to swingAnd it moves like a clockBut the hands on the clock tell the lovers to partAnd it's breaking my heartTo have to spend a day without her, do do do...Can't go on without her Without her, I can't go onWithout her, I can't go onWithout her, I can't go on We burst the pretty balloon took us to the moonIt's such a beautiful thingBut it's ended nowAnd it sounds like a lieI said I'd rather die than live without herWithout herWithout her, do do do...It's so wrong without herCan't go on I spend the night in a chair thinking she'll be thereBut she never comesAnd I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyesAnd I rise to face another dayWithout her, do do do...Can't go on without herThere's no song without herIt's all wrong without herCan't go on I can't go on (without her) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
