Arrangement reflections: On My Way by Alex Lahey

I LOVE this song. Another banger by Alex Lahey - an artist we’ve covered a number of times at Mixtape Chorus. The song is high octane, high energy, full of positivity. A great driving tune.

The song is featured in the soundtrack of the film The Mitchells VS The Machines - a charming family/roadtrip/robot apocalypse movie.

In Verse 4 the altos sing alone, and I love the effect: it's bare, honest, vulnerable. "Feeling what's in front of me, I've got double vision. Take a deep breath, make a decision."

In the finale, we overlay the chorus melody over the pre-chorus melody. This happens in the original song, and I kept it in the arrangement. It's an exciting effect.

I wrote myself a tambourine part and I love playing it (see this video).
