Originally a #1 hit for Toto in the early '80s, and recorded again recently by the group Weezer, this powerful rock anthem features a distinctive groove and memorable lines. John Wasson has given it a contemporary spin while maintaining the feel and drive of the original.

@gabe2237 4 года назад

I feel like sometimes in this song the most important and emotional parts of the original are given to the trombones, an instrument which is naturally low and therefore doesn’t stand out very much. I feel like this arrangement would have been more enjoyable if that part was accompanied with the trumpets or saxes

@trainmastertmh4876 4 года назад

Your low brass obviously isnt very loud then... XD

@willzgotskill6998 2 года назад

@@staceybailey8163 no I mean it would be written on a score if you switched from sax to flute. I think with flutes it sounds more authentic and contrasts with the rest of the piece
