Happy Valentine's Day to you. I wanted to share this gift with my friends a song for Valentine's Day. Here's a FREE Download of my version of James Taylor's tune Shower the People.
There's a bit of a story that goes along with the recording of this tune. It's the story about the night God came and added His parts to this tune. This particular night I had planned to record my vocals. As I was singing the very soft opening lines a big thunder storm rolled in and the sound of thunder was coming through the mic onto the vocal takes. At first I was bummed thinking I would have to scratch the take and wait till the storm passed to record a new one. But then as I was listening back to the take with the thunder rolling through the background it hit me... this is perfect! Thunder and rain showers in the background of a song called Shower the People... Brilliant! I actually set a couple mics up outside under the porch and recorded a stereo track of the thunder and rain showers that night and added them in with this tune. You'll hear the thunder especially in the intro and at the very end thunder with the rain showers falling.
I think it came out great and I can honestly say it's not something I thought of on my own... my "Producer" gets all the credit. Well I hope you enjoy the song and please feel free to share it with the ones you love.
Blessings
Chip
