A project for Music Producing & Arrangement, we had to choose a song we knew by heart and cover it, staying as true to the original as we could. Again, there was a 2:00 time limit, and First Day of my Life didn’t flow as smoothly as a wanted after cutting things out. After a few hours of tweaking I gave up and decided to add parts from another song with a similar progression, I Will Follow You Into the Dark (after transposing it down a half-step). Turns out they work pretty well together and have an interesting depth to the lyrics. Rhythm Guitar panned left, picking pattern on right. Bass and Vocals right up the middle. Pretty much how the original is set up. As a requirement we needed to have some kind of harmony in the song; I sang the introduction as an a cappella arrangement.
