Fred Leo

After careful review by FredTunes® board of directors, none of whom took bailout money, I’ve promoted three tracks to the store, two production tracks and a song.

The production tracks are Dumdum Whistle and Dumdum Smart (one has whistling, and the other singing.)
You can hear them with the “play” buttons in the permanent post that always leads the blog, and if you click the title of either of these tracks you can see how they work against video.

I have a good feeling about these tracks and feel they will prove worthy for web, video, in-house or ad agency producers.

The song is called Tumbleweeds, the same one I’ve been working on for a few weeks, and I finally got a mix good enough to make it store-worthy. There’s a free version of an earlier mix a few posts back as my salute to the recession.

UPDATE 2-2-2010: Up to the seventh mix now, and I sure hope it’s the last. Sure wish I had the Waves plugins.

The sketch I’ve been working on is now a song, and here’s the third mix of it, free.

In case you’re not a twitter follower and didn’t catch the excerpt to determine if you want it, here’s a sample of the song from mix 2.

Here’s the whole song.

  Tumbleweeds Free Mix3 (5.4 MiB, 26 hits)

Wait, I remixed. Try this one./

  Tumbleweeds 5 (5.4 MiB, 33 hits)

And here are the lyrics:

Tumbleweeds/Riding on that breeze/Tumbleweeds/Got me on my knees

Got me a girl, and she’s just too fine/One day I know that I’ll come home to find/(nothing but) tumbleweeds/Riding on that breeze

Went to a psychic with a crystal ball/She rubbed that thing, and you know what she saw/Tumbleweeds/I’m on my dusty knees

It’s time to move on/time to ride that breeze/with those tumbleweeds

There’s a cold wind blowin’/blowin’ through the factories/a chill wind blowin’/from Seattle to the Keys

Sent some saviors up to DC/Looked inside their heads where the common sense should be/and I saw tumbleweeds/it’s got me on my dusty knees

It’s time to move on/time to ride that breeze/with those tumbleweeds
