My very first youtube music video upload! All night long is an original metal song that I wrote back around the summer of 2006 or so. My wife Christina liked the music and the lyrics, so she decided to help me get my lyrics and sound together and do ALL of the vocals for me. Yes, all of the singers are my wife double tracking on top of herself, and for her first time ever doing it I think she did a spectacular job of it. I am playing all of the guitars and leads on a Fender Strat. The bass line I did with my sweet '74 Ric. The drum lines were hand written by me inside of Cakewalk Producer Edition software (no drum machines on this one). The song was finalized on Sony Soundforge software by me and Christina. My only wish is that I should have turned the guitars up 3db in certain places, or added better volume enveloping on them, but all in all I think the recording turned out well.

Lyrics:
Every day the preachers say "the only way is christ"
"Don't speak out" they scream and shout and make you pay the price
They don't want your freedom
They don't care at all.
Trust the word is all you've heard and soon enough you'll fall.
They drive your body to the edge of disaster
Even though you know it's wrong
Never resting you're falling faster
Even though you try
All night long
Every day the preachers say that "He's the one who's right"
It's not hard to start a war or take somebodies life
Send the soldiers for Jesus
Soon they lay in pain
It goes to show thats all they know
And lost their lives in vain
