I originally wrote a version of this last year, but got stuck on a chorus that worked. Hopefully this sounds alright. Blended the genres I’ve been playing with recently, and for once actually put probably 20 or 30 hours into recording and mixing it, which I can’t say I’ve really done before. Anyways, here it is. Hope ya like it!
The Long Way Home
I was walking down a road to nowhere
For a minute going slow
When a stranger popped out of thin air
And before I could fake a call said yo
Can you help I don’t know which way to go
I said nor do I bro
Then he asked if I’d ever been to veradero
And I turned my head and I said look
I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where to go
All I know’s where I end up
I’m gonna get there on my own
I don’t care where you’ve been
I don’t know what you’ve seen
Hell, I don’t know a lot of things
But I know nothing left behind you
Could mean all that much to me
I don’t care where you’ve been
And I’d be kinda hyped if you leave
See
I don’t know where it is I am
Or where I still may go
But I know the way there’s one
I’m gonna blaze all on my own
I only need my own two eyes
To guide my own ten toes
Down the empty road
And when I’m done
No I don’t need a hand
To take the long way home
Just like I saw it back in my first dreams
Just me alone running on my own two feet
No carrot and no stick
Nobody’s sympathy
Or want or need to even try to define lonely
No I don’t know what tomorrow brings
I don’t know why you’re so sure tomorrow’s happening
I don’t know why you seem to think you’re fact checking
When you don’t know how to read
I don’t know why you won’t just leave me be just leave me be
And I’d be kinda hyped if you’d leave
I don’t know where it is I am
Or where I still may go
But I know the way there’s one
I’m gonna blaze all on my own
I only need my own two eyes
To guide my own ten toes
Down the empty road
And when I’m done
No I don’t need a hand
To take the long way home

RF, are you still doing all that with your phone? Can you export individual uneffected trax? I’d like to remix this for you...

Yep, still on the ol’ phone! How can I send you the project? File’s too big to post as a comment. Also what format would you like?
Also also here’s what I’ve got so far on that tune you sent

Hmmm... Try uploading the entire project file to the same link I gave you, I think that’ll work.
Lol, yep! That’s the Junction's own "RhysFraser" ladies and gentlemen! I actually thought you would chop that file up and "sample" it, so to speak... There also seems to be some heavy duty limiter/compression going on as well. Hey, not bad for a first time experimental collab! ?

Nope, don’t mind a bit! But... Lol... If you give me some time with this file I may be able to show you a few tricks ?

Well, it turns out that GB for Apple iOS systems isn’t exactly compatible with other systems... All the effects (Eq, compression, reverb, delay, limiter) are different. So, I wound up clearing all of the iOS settings and loading all my own. Since I have no clue how the project file will load back into your system, I figured I would post this and let you listen first...

Looks like you can’t open GarageBand mac files on iOS. Stupid iPhone. I think I might be able to take your full song and mix it back in as one track. I’ll give that a go. Thanks again dude!
