Exclusive Song Release: Lost in Wonder

The songs I have shared on previous posts are part of a series of demos I am recording from home while my first CD, entitled "Naked", is being mixed down and mastered for CD release. I just received the first mix down for the song "Lost in Wonder" and decided it would be fun to share a preview of one of the songs from the upcoming CD. I am making this preview CD release an exclusive to my blog and can ONLY BE HEARD HERE. Technically speaking it is on my SoundCloud.com profile because I needed the widget from that site to post the song here but the song is ONLY available for download here @ Wolfgang Carter Music!

This song was recorded last and is to be the last song to close out the CD. Being a guitarist I wanted a song to finish the CD that was heavily guitar driven with a jam style riff.A kind of "Classic Rock" style riff the was fun and easy for other guitar players to pick up and jam with. This song went through several transformations before finally being recorded. I came up with the main riff this past December and finished the first version of the song within a week or two. The song had a different title and lyrics but just was not quite right. I kept working on as I recorded other songs and came up with several different versions but still was not the song I wanted it to be.

On the day I recorded it I kept working it out while doing stuff around the house and ideas just kept coming. More than several different parts just came to me and with no way to record them at the time I had to have faith they would all work together. I came up with five different guitar riffs and wrote verse guitar riffs and bass lines to complement them. Then I could not decide on which I liked better of the two drum lines I wrote and decided to use both by sectioning off and transitioning the song to include both. I was very happy with the result that night and feel it adds some real punch to the song especially during the transition.

I hope you enjoy the song because I had a blast writing and putting it together. It turned out to be the release I needed during a very frustrated period of my life. I feel the lyrics reflect that and the music, along with the solo, conveys the battle of emotions we all face in relationships at some point in our lives.

Lost in Wonder (Pre CD Release) by WolfgangCarter

Lost in Wonder

She came on like a dream
Then she left like a thief
Got me hooked like morphine
Now I can't get no relief

She's every girl I see
Under skin just like thunder
Still when she looks at me
I get lost in the wonder

Now she's back again
Twisting up my life
I'm once bitten but not twice shy kitty
Just like the tumblin' dice

Something is there in her eyes
A spark and taste of hunger
Should I kiss or say my goodbyes
Or just get lost in the wonder

Life trips and turns so bizarre
Flashes front and back again
Still she knows who you are
All your murder, sex and sin

She's not like any other
A beauty from back to cover
Kiss the witch or touch the lover
Either way I'm still lost in the wonder
