I think that even those who are not fans of Rock or Metal heard about the death of Ozzy Osbourne, an iconic English singer and rock legend. This happened a few days ago and that news shocked the world, generating reactions from celebrities and prominent musicians of the music scene. I'm not going to lie to you, I always knew who Ozzy is, but I have never been a big fan of his music, I like only the most known songs which I treasure and listen to every now and then, however, I understand the influence and transcendence that Ozzy Osbourne had and has in modern Rock and Metal.
So, as a sort of tribute, today I'm sharing a bass cover of “Crazy Train” one of Ozzy's many hits. I chose this song because it has a very dynamic and distinctive bass, besides, I had already played this song many years ago with some friends to hang out and have fun. I should mention that this cover is a shortened version of the song, but you will hear the most important instrumental aspects.
To record this song I used the Cubase5 application, I also used the Moises application to remove the original bass line, so you will only hear the line I recorded. I hope my participation this week will be to everyone's liking, best regards!
Crazy, but that’s how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe, it’s not too late
To learn how to love, and forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life’s a bitter shame
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’ve listened to preachers,
I’ve listened to fools
I’ve watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah, yeah
Heirs of a cold war,
that’s what we’ve become
Inheriting troubles,
I’m mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I’m living with something that just isn’t fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what’s to blame
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
