Nice Daryl, as noted your usual level of clean open airy mix, thoughtful lyrics and overall nicely delivered.
 
Like Dave I have never had a problem growing a beard or other fur come to that
 
Thanks for sharing




Thanks a lot Wookiee - I'm glad you liked it :)

This is really fun, and the mix is well balanced -- especially the chorus.  Wish I could get my stuff to sound like this!

I just love your songs. They are always very interesting to me. This one has a great melody for the hook. I would be humming that before too long.

Nice work.  I love the 8-bit type sounds at the beginning.  Nice clean mix as well, all instruments can be heard clearly.


Thanks a lot Kevin



You're welcome.  On a related note, I've listened to the song quite a few times over the last few days.  Aside from my comments about the mix, I actually just love the song.  It kind of reminds me a little bit of Ben Folds.
 


Thanks again Kevin. Really king of you to say.

top notch stuff my bro!! (a subtle hint of Beatlesque style in there).
That's something I noticed too...early McCartney more specifically.
Good message with the lyrics too!

Nice catchy tune, Daryl.
 
I agree with the comments about the lower end. It could be "beefed up" quite a bit in the bass. The kick is a bit thin.
 
Cheers.

Great job Daryl!  Like Kevin, it reminded me of Ben Folds (especially your vocals).  Heres to hoping you don't hate Ben Folds.  A friend of mine told me I sounded like Kid Rock once and I nearly sold my recording equipment. 


Thanks Grizzlylip. To be honest I don't really know any of Ben Folds' stuff so any similarity is purely coincidental. Perhaps he sounds like me? :) :)

Really cool catchy tune. Clever vocal melody and lyrics. A lot of elements to enjoy. The funkiness, synth sounds and back up vox are delightful




Thanks Grant - I will tell the current Mrs D that you liked her BGV's

Great work here, it's got a good hook in the lead line and the synth swirling through the background, and as others note - good clean production.

Very English sounding. Reminds me of a different time when music was more understandable. 
 
Great job.

Thanks a lot Clint.
It's funny you say about humming it - my family hates it when I write a new song as they keep waking up with the song in their head!! Annoyingly catchy they say :)

Nice work, Daryl. I really like this. Catchy with great arranging and choice of natural and synth timbres. And the mix... Magnifique! Sorry, I have no critique to offer.
