Artist picture
Modern music with a retro sound. Strongly influenced by the great bands of the 60s and early 70s.
I have been writing and recording songs since 1969! Now I dispense cheap advice on Songwriting, Home Recording, and Live Sound on my website, . For my earliest recordings, my brother and I used two reel-to-reel tape decks, building up our songs by copying back and forth between them. The gear has improved over the years, and I am now using an 8-track Yamaha MD8 digital recorder in my hobby studio. I also own an on-location recording company, and for that I use a 16-track Korg D16XD.

Story behind the song
I had a riff and the phrase "things happen fast" and I just put them together. The hardest part of recording this song was finding just the right sound effects to use in the verses! Mark Bendig: lead vocals, rhythm guitars, percussion Jack Burgess: lead guitar, bass, backup vocals
Lyrics
Things Happen Fast (M. Bendig) Verse 1 One day you're in an old Citation Next day you got a Cadillac One day you lose a million bucks but Next day you get your money back Chorus Things happen fast When you're in love (when you're in love) Things happen fast When you're in love Verse 2 One day you're workin' down at the Wal-Mart Next day you're a movie star One day you're buyin' day-old bread but Next day you're eatin' caviar (Chorus) Bridge These changes keep on happening To shake my little world But this boy Wants this girl (Solo to verse) (Chorus - twice) Tag (Things happen fast) When you're in love (Things happen fast) When you're in love
