My song from 2017 is dedicated to all musicians goig to gigs.
I sing and play mandolin, plectrum banjo and guitars. I produced this with Band in a Box and Reaper at my home in Helsinki, Finland. I remixed it in 2024. I used BiaB style Grazing Country Swing.
I wrote it in my native language, in Finnish. Here is my raw translations of the lyrics:
After our gig crowd rushes to their homes.
There warm beds are waiting for them.
After our gig we stay in the night to pack up our things.
A cold, rugged tour bus is waiting for the band.
After our gig some continues to a club or a bar
to party until the morning dew.
After our gig we also feast a bit:
cold pizza and warm beer for the band.
After our gig we finally get home to sleep.
In the morning we go to work to earn our living.
But after the day's work is over,
we're longing back to stage.
New venue, new night, is waiting for the band. Keikkaeloa - Gig Life by Arri

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thank you veteran. I'm too (70 years). If someone could rewrite my lyrics in English in a singable form, I would be grateful and share it in English.

Brno, super groove.
Great vocal.
I didn't understand a word buy I don't need to to know that a song is super and this is a super song.
Great mix.

Thanks. There were a raw translations into English of my lyrics. Here again:
After our gig crowd rushes to their homes.
There warm beds are waiting for them.
After our gig we stay in the night to pack up our things.
A cold, rugged tour bus is waiting for the band.
After our gig some continues to a club or a bar
to party until the morning dew.
After our gig we also feast a bit:
cold pizza and warm beer for the band.

Great instrumentation and mix. Thanks for giving the lyrics translation, which many will relate to. A good rock song from the early 70s about a band about to go on stage is Jo Jo Gunne's "60 Minutes To Go".

#1: Play on the Way.
#17: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#69: Bring consciousness to it.
#74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Arri, nicely done! Very catchy. I can picture this highlighting a set with an audience sing-a-long. Super job playing and organizing the BiaB supporters. Enjoyed it!

Thanks journeyman! It was for you and your kind going to gigs. I'm now over 70 and can't go anymore. So I just reminisce.
