Goin' Back (Multitrack Video Cover)

This is my first attempt at a multitrack type of video. Every track was recorded live in one full take. Enjoy.

"Goin' Back"
(Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King,
Arranged and Performed by Alexander J King)

Lyrics:

I think I'm going back,
To the things I learned so well,
In my youth,

I think I'm returning to,
Those days when I was young enough,
To know the truth,

Now there are no games to only pass the time,
No more colouring books, no Christmas bells to chime,
But thinking young and growing older is no sin,
And I can play the game of life to win,

I can recall a time,
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out,
To a friend,

And now I think I've got,
A lot more than just my toys,
To lend,

Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide,
And everyday can be my magic carpet ride,
And I can play hide and seek with my fears,
And live my days instead of counting my years,

Solo

Let everyone debate the true reality,
I'd rather see the world the way it used to be,
A little bit of freedom's all we lack,
So catch me if you can, I'm going back,

beautiful. Would you happen to have the instrumental version i can sing along to at home? i am member of a karaoke website and we have a rubbish backing of this, sounds like a bad MIDI file.

[alexn882]

@emhams hey, sure I can send you my instrumental. can you message me with your e-mail?

[MuzikizOxygen]

im slowly going through your videos..promise I am not stalking.lol

this is beautiful.

I guess the question is what instruments cant you play?

you even play bottles.lol

[alexn882]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

LOL don't worry you're not stalking :p

[mssusan1961]

You really did that song justice. Well done. I'm a Bass player, and have thought about maybe sussing out the bass line for it. I tend to play faster rock numbers but I'm thinking this would be a fine song to learn. Always been a die-hard Dusty fan.

[alexn882]

Thank you! This is definitely a great song to learn. I love the lyrics and the whole mood of it.

[mikey007462]

this is ittt!!

[alexn882]

Thanks! Nope, I pretty much improvised it all by ear based on Freddie Mercury's version. If it's of any help, here's the chords I used:

Verse goes back and forth from A & Asus2 to G

Chorus is: F#m , C#m , F#m , A , D , A , D , A

and the Instrumental section is: G ,  G , A , A , A , A , G , G , A.

[andvarifatimaj]

That was great. Would you happen to have the piano sheet to that song? could u possibly send it to me?

[alexn882]

Thank you so much!!
