Wait for the Moment
Words and Music by Gord Wait and Shawn Neely

Re-recorded in Gord's studio 2023, 2024
Shawn and I wrote this back in the 1980s, as a project for a songwriting class we both took. The original version was a mix of midi sequences and a good old Tascam 144 4 Track Portastudio.
in 2023/204 I decided to re-record it in my home studio.
I also put together a music video for it,Â
Definitely shows it's 1980s pop rock vintage, which is a core part of my musical personality.
Enjoy!

This is the second song in my efforts to re-record some of my favourite songs I've written with my current 2020's home music studio.
I wrote and recorded my first version of this in 2001, in my home studio, which was a converted one car garage I called "The Doghouse".
I had most of the parts written, so I rented a Roland Digital Vs-1680 for the weekend, recorded and mixed it down.
I always liked the track, but the time crunch (while probably a good thing) left me feeling like I could improve on it.
In 2025 I dug out the audio and midi tracks, and reworked the song.
It's what I call "Old School Melodramatic Rock" ;)
