Hi Jacki,
Different songs come with different challenges but “It’s Alright” from ORANGE definitely gave us a headache for a while. Not because it is a very complex song or because any part of it was particularly hard to play or sing, but because it took us quite a lot of tries until we found the right arrangement. Oh the amount of times we scrapped and re-recorded everything ?We really like how it turned out but not unlike “Once Upon A Time”, we had to twist and turn and scramble it around for a bit until we were happy with it.

Jacki, Lisa, love the question and answer. All the extra insight into the songs like this make it so much more special. When I hear “It’s Alright”, I will listen to it with that much more appreciation given the extra challenge that went into it! 🙂 The amount of time it was “scrapped and redone” reminds me of when I attempt a sketch. But in the end when you get it the way you want finally, it feels so rewarding!

Thankyou Lisa, for answering my Q, and indeed, you’re answer , quite fascinating, and ( pardon the pun here but)… ‘ It’s Alright’, in the fact that you had encountered some challenges on these particular songs, but out of it all, with perseverance and knowing when at long last all felt right with the arrangements to record for to be on ORANGE album….Good Things Come To Those Who Wait, If At First , You Don’t Succeed, Try and Try Again…..Never Give Up, just Keep On….?

Now Jacki, have you been listening to Jimmy Cliff?
Good advice for us all. The MLT are masters at it. They never give up!

I just listen to both of those songs a few minutes ago from the Orange CD. Today I loaded up the Bose player with five of my favorite CDs and made sure to make it eclectic:
1)Meet/With the Beatles
2) CD#1 of a 3 CD collection of Classical music
3) CSN’s 1st LP
4) Donovan’s Greatest Hit
5 ) Orange
