My cover of my favourite Tame Impala track and a song that now sits in my Top 10 Songs of ALL. This is the first time I've liked my vocals enough to actually share them and while I'm quite aware they're no hell, it's taken me a long time to get them to "acceptable"; had a hoot doing the harmonies!

Almost all of this was done by actually playing the notes, including the drum tracks; there are very few loops or clips in this song. I wanted it to have an organic feel, particularly in the guitar solo at the end. My vocal stylings and some of my instrument choices were inspired by the Moody Blues (again!) as they were kind of the godfathers of psychedelic/symphonic rock which this song certainly owes a lot to; the Mellotron is front and center in the latter half (one of the settings I use was inspired by the Flaming Lips version of this track and it was the one used by Genesis in "Watcher of the Skies", I'm certain) and the big finish was inspired by the Moody's "Higher and Higher". This cover plays very close to the original but I added a few changes to make it my own; I hope you enjoy my take on this magnificent piece of music!

P.S. - Special thanks to Roddy Bailey and his drum transcription without which this would not have sounded anywhere near as good as it does. [ Ссылка ]
