Story behind the song
This one is adapted from my 'Defend Rachel' cover, substituting the Vocalise VST with electric guitar rhythm punches and solos with a more Rock oriented vibe. Carvin DC127 and the Fishman TriplePlay synth was used to record the backing track. Carvin SH65B synth guitar and the Roland GR-55 synth module was used on all the guitar parts, utilizing the Guitar Rig VST plug-in for FX while recording.

This song is greatly produced and the guitar work is truly beautiful. I like the drama of the strings and the song structure. Excellent musicianship complete.

Although i loved the other version this one is clearly better since it got a smokin guitar solo. :) Really nice playing and sound. Fantastic work!

Very impressive, dramatic "rock God" additions :) I think this version gives it a lot more atmosphere and makes it even darker and more soulful.

This is a very cool track Michael! The guitar work is awesome. First class production. I like how you let the music grow and breath. I am not familiar with the original music but this is...smookin!

I like this version better with the guitars, but I'm probably biased. Great riffage, tone and plank spankin' here. Superb!
