Only the Dead Can Tell

I'd say this is the most time I put into a song this year and I'm really pleased with the results. I would spend an hour or two each day starting on last Sunday, and lay down different stuff. This song started as pure electronic with an 808 kit and maintained parts of the original DNA up until Friday when it all started being stripped away. Hard to imagine an 808 in here listening to the final draft. I probably have enough left over scraps to do an electronic remix in a week or two.
The only place I fell short of my goals are the vocals and only the chorus is in this mix. Ran out of time to write and record full lead vocals, but the chorus and the harmonica parts were in my head for days so it was easier to get that down. The rest is guitar, bass, and symphonic VSTs.
Hope you enjoy it and are all doing well. Enjoy the holiday weekend as best you can!
