Got Something to Tell You

 Written and Recorded in 1990

I do not remember exactly when this tune was written and the demo was recorded. All I can say is, this was the first tune I recorded for a collection of my original works. Making of the collection was finished when a 46-minute cassette tape was mostly filled with those demo recordings in early 1991, and most of the works were written and recorded during the final quarter of 1990. A clear difference between this tune and all the rest featured in the collection is the synthesizer that used. In this demo recording of Got Something to Tell You, an analogue synthesizer was used, which has been borrowed from my friend. Sometime in 1990, again I am not sure when exactly it was, I returned the synthesizer back to its owner and carried on recording new materials by using a digital synthesizer I newly bought shortly after that. 

Apart from guessing of when this tune was recorded, there are little things worth to be discussed here of this tune. The main idea for writing this tune was to present an example of a Pop tune played by a Prog minded musicians. This idea gave rooms for tricky rhythm signature and some playful licks for each instrument in the plain sections, whilst the chorus (or bridging) section accommodates sophisticated chord progressions. At the same time, since it was originally designed to be a Pop tune, the degree of tricky stuff is restricted within a modest range. One thing I regret about this recording is, the guitar part is too modest to be neither tricky nor playful, despite the fact that the eloquent guitar solo in the quasi Twist and Shout section clearly implies that I must have been in a good condition as a guitar player back then.
