Welcome to the Earth

We have now published song number 28 in our year-long song-a-thon, called Welcome to the Earth. This song was a live studio recording with David, Omni, Dawn, and Fiora all singing together in one room. Later, we added lead guitar with Dawn, Nanda on traps, and had all  the singers do non-live vocals tracks. I ended up mostly using the live vocal tracks, just using the "clean" versions for backup, and reinforcement. It turns out, there was some magic in the four of us singing together in the same room that night. In fact, a previously published song, MoreThan Anything, came from that same session. It also had the magic. Omni came in right before we published with some spaceship sounds and bells. The spaceship sounds were what she always heard in the song, but didn't have the technology to do live, so she would just use her voice to make spaceship and wind sounds. In this version, we have real spaceships and wind. I also recorded a new bass guitar track in 2019. I discovered that tuning the bass to DGDG instead of EADG made this song, which is tuned down two frets, really work.
