Down

I originally wrote the music and lyrics for this song in June of 2000. Back then it was called “Same Song” — which was just a working title. Unfortunately, it never saw the light of day because of its somber mood. For fuzzy logic and The Wheel, Down was too down. In hindsight, though, this may have worked with Seven Bridges.
For some reason, last December, I felt the need to update the lyrics and music. You can listen to the result here:
Of course, keep in mind that this is the first mix of a batch of ten. I expect to revisit this song and adjust some levels and perhaps add some EQ as I mix the others.
For lyrics and recording info, see Down’s main page here.

Thanks everyone!
@feter The lead is on guitar (I used my Jay Turser JT-200 Dragon). There are two songs in particular in this set that feature very Jerry Garcia-like solos. It might be another few weeks before those are posted though!
