It Made It Past The First Hurdle

As I was writing this song I felt that I could have a hit on my hands here.

I remember relaxing listening to a song and it jump started me into this creation, “Till the end of time”. 

The lyrics seem to flow out of me easily with this one and the mood I imagined for this track came out the way I wanted on the day.

The original recording had a lot of back ground noise. A cleaner polished version was recorded two years later with a friend providing vocals on the track.  A further two years after that another recording was made with a session musician providing the vocals.

One of the later versions of this song was submitted and signed up to a publisher in the late 90’s and again in 2002.

Even though I had made it passed the first hurdle, this track was never picked up by a band and recorded.

Though the later recordings of this song had a cleaner sound compared with the first one, the original demo was my favourite due to the harmonica solo.

With the availability of time, the harmonica player didn’t have time to practise the instrumental from the first recording and came up with something different on the spot for the second recording.

The links for the three versions are as follows:
