Jekyll & Hyde - 16. Alive bass backing track
A quieter page for one job: get you to the bass version of the song and out of the way.
About this version
If you are here for the bass part, that is probably all you need to know. Open the track, stay with the line, and get a few clean repetitions in.
Useful for
learning notes and movement
Useful for
checking where the line really sits
Useful for
short practice loops before a full run
A simple way in
A version for learning the line, checking the pocket, and playing along without the rest of the mix getting in your way.
Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.
Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.
Notes
Decided to upload the whole thing after all. This is the Original Concept Recording of 1994 (the amazing Anthony Warlow as Jekyll/Hyde). I numbered all of them as to make it easier to listen through the whole thing from start to finish. Enjoy! :) Update: Someone reminded me (6 years after I promised to do so, haha) to put the lyrics in the descripton, so here they are: [HYDE] What is this feeling of power and drive I’ve never known? I feel alive! Where does this feeling of power derive Making me know why I’m alive? Like the night, it’s a secret Sinister, dark, and unknown I do not know what I seek Yet, I’ll seek it alone! I have a thirst that I cannot deprive Never have I felt so alive! There is no battle I couldn’t survive Feeling like this, feeling alive! Like the moon, an enigma Lost and alone in the night Damned by some heavenly stigma But blazing with light! It’s the feeling of being alive! Filled with evil, but truly alive! It’s the truth that cannot be denied! It’s the feeling of being Edward Hyde! (spoken) Wait! What’s this? Sweet miss! I thought I had lost you It’s fate What bliss! Sweet miss Your folly will cost you dear My dear You’ll see You’ll never escape me! I’m here I fear And you will pay dear My dear… (creepy stalking noises) (sung) Animals trapped behind bars in the zoo Need to run rampant and free! Predators live by the prey they pursue This time, the predator’s me! Lust, like a raging desire Fills my whole soul with its curse Burning with primitive fire Berserk and perverse! Tonight I’ll plunder heaven blind Steal from all the gods! Tonight I’ll take from all mankind Conquer all the odds! And I feel I’ll live on forever With Satan himself by my side! And I’ll show the world That tonight, and forever The name to remember’s The name Edward Hyde! What a feeling to be so alive! I have never seen me so alive! Such a feeling of evil inside That’s the feeling of being Edward Hyde! What a feeling to be so alive! I have never seen me so alive! Such a feeling of evil inside That’s the feeling of being Edward Hyde! With this feeling of being alive There’s a new world I see come alive It’s a truth that cannot be denied There’s no feeling like being Edward Hyde!
