Maple Dye, "Walk Away"
Maple Dye · Walk Away This power pop song was composed in the pre-Internet times. The composition has stayed steady from those arcane days, but it's interesting how, on the contrary, the production has changed a lot, and to high degree been defined by circumstances, in an example of adaptation, of resiliency. Particularly I'm thinking of the part with the keyboard melody; at first, my idea was playing a very elaborate keyboard solo, starting from the initial theme and then building up in a "psychedelic" way, a la Ray Manzarek. However, when the moment came I didn't have access to a proper keyboard, only the computer's, so I decided to do a very straightforward arrangement instead, and then filling up that section with other instruments. Time goes by, a lot of life happens, and, alas, when I'm finally going to weave a few electric guitars for that section, I found that this time it is my guitar what betrays me. Enter vocal harmonies.
