Geocache (Release and Prototype Mixes)

The 2009 RPM Challenge gave me my second most popular song by listens and the only song that generates consistent sales for me, a track called “Geocache.”  It began life as a “One-Hour Compo” piece done during that certain February, it was poorly mixed and arranged, and it was appropriately voted 12th best of 14 entries.  When I listened to it, though, I noticed I had some really good chords and melodies, and that given a better mix and arrangement it could be a strong.

And many thanks to all around the world that have made this song a success.

For SounDevotion Competition Round 54

Falling from silver clouds
Carried down by the wind
Tossed around, up again
To the warm ground, descend
Gently, snowflakes will land
To the ground, receives them

The theme was winter or holidays.  In the past, when we’ve done this theme I made a rearrangement of a public domain Christmas hymn, so while I made this to be an original composition, I knew that I wasn’t going to have a lot of time to work on it.  Despite that, I am happy with the result; it was difficult to get the vocal and guitar sounds.
