New String Arrangement for Skid Row Cover:
18 and Life

Tweex Music is back again with a very exciting update!  Fans of 80’s rock will love this as it covers one of Skid Row’s classic songs, 18 and Life.  People who generally despise 80’s rock will love this as it doesn’t sound anything like an 80’s rock song!

A very talented pianist and vocalist, Tucker, is working on an album of tracks and this cover is to be released with it.  Tucker, along with his producer, Ryan Sutton, decided to pull some Skid Row into the mix and originally planned this to be a simple piano, string, vocal arrangement.  Well, one thing led to another and the track evolved into this awesome OneRepublic vibe!  Check it out here:

The string arrangement was a blast to work on.  If you listen to the words of the original, it’s actually quite a depressing song.  So with that in mind and after talking to Jason about it a little, I set out to make the strings somber and emotional, but still with a small ray of hope.  The end result was a massive success with all of the other elements in there: the electric guitar, the flawless piano playing, the driving drums, and the beautiful vocals!

Enjoy the music and check back soon for some exciting releases!
