Happy Ghosts – It has been done before – Hang Low
Here are the building blocks that led to the final version of the song
Using the drums as a click track to aid composition. The outline of the song is written on the bass guitar
Adding keyboards for extra dimension to the structure and to help determine whether the individual sections are working
Introduce more rhythms to help accentuate the change and definition between sections in the song
The original vocal performance. PLEASE NOTE there is silence between the vocals
Placing vocal components within the musical track, ensuring they sound as natural as possible
Using other instruments to add more dynamics to the tracks now that a vocal pattern has been established
Perform a final edit to ensure song dynamics are accentuated, with overall performance sounding as tight as possible
There are a number of CREDITS that need to be acknowledged in the creation of this song. They are:

Here are the lyrics for “Hang Low” (written by Ashes & Dreams)
It’s an old schoolyard trick
Standing with your back against the brick
With the roving-eye
To watch the rocks and sticks
Hang low
Hang low
The ice will melt soon
Caterpillar spring from their cocoon
Trees filling in the air
They’re going to get a chance to bloom
Hang low
Hang low
Hang low
Hang low
The ice will melt soon
The ice will melt soon, soon, soon
It’s ok to hibernate
And work on your tune
Hang low (repeat)
