nice mix!
clean through
out....the arrangement (sparse, clean sound sources) surely makes it easier to get separation.
arrangements, arrangements, arrangements!!
 
it immediately reminds me of a cross between howard jones and some beatles tune
 
great performances, and a solid lyric, even if it's a bit cheesy!
like it.
 


Cheers Bats. It is cheesy but the current Mrs likes it :)

Bats said he picked up a bit of a Beatles sound to this number.  I caught the same thing.  It has a wee bit of an early Beatles sound with Lennon vocals (to me that is).  I think that this song is just terrific!!!!  I am trying to find something to provide as a constructive suggestion, but there is just nothing I can find.
 
Excellent!!!!


Thanks so much Freddy. Really appreciate it

Very nice Daryl/Liz and James! Those guitars make it extra special! I completely agree with everything Tom said...
 
Regards,
Dan


Thanks a lot Dan. I agree on the guitars - I'm so glad I asked James to play on it.

I'd say it sits in the same vein as your others: kinda sparse in spots, mixed clean as hell, cool major/minor change-ups, filled with pop sensibilities without being at all generic, thoughtful instumentation (loved the background piano), and blessed with some excellent vocals, both lead and bgv's.
 
Yep, pretty much the same as your other stuff, brilliant.
 
Your mix is so clean, it's like you've got a vst "vacuum" plug-in that sucks the aural residue out from between the instruments. Wish I had that!
 
cheers,
-Tom




 
Yes,  Daryl has a definite style.  Its also well recorded.  Thanks for sharing the love, Daryl.


Thanks mate :)

Waow,
Good vibe especially ( from where I am) on the verses where I could literally melt in this softness of the adequation between of the voice and the music,then the chorus wakes me up..... Thank you ..
Cheers
Olivier



Merci Olivier - I am glad you enjoyed it

very nice song, performance and high standard production! The 2 voices compliment each other (as one would expect ; ) ) and James's guitar fits in perfect here.
You definitely have developed your own style. It's such a pleasure to listen to your set list. It stays in the same kind of vibe without it ever getting boring. Keep 'em coming, Sir !
 
Best Regards,
Daniel




wow - thanks so much Daniel - very kind of you :)

A lovely tune, my Mrs liked it as well. In fact, I like to get my wife involved in backing vox too, but really I have to nag her into doing it. As if she doesn't just have to walk into the next room and sing a few lines for me. Temperamental artist type, you know.....sheesh! Wonderful guitar outro. James just knocks those out in his sleep.

sorry Daryl, seem to have missed this one
lovely mix on this, the use of synths backing the vocal is so professional. then the introduction of the piano is so subtle but fits well
guitar solo is almost perfect
i guess it never really build and climaxes like it deserves (oo-er-wait for Ed comments)

Really enjoyed this tune...kinda had a early 70's pop feel to me (in a good way). This is something not only done well...but something I could listen to more than a single pass...
 
Great job!

Brilliant song. The vocals just shine through with lyrics I wish I had have written ("We are concrete" - how true!). Love the orchestration and love Jame's flurries - real class! Love it!
 




thanks so much Malcolm - yes, James did a great job

Reminds me of Davy Jones from the Monkees. I feel your chord progression choice works very well. I also lie your arrangement. You keep the music interesting with different instruments and note durations.

I don't think I've listened to your other "schtuff" so can't compare, but I really liked this song.  Great melody. Whenever I hear an interesting melody I always try to figure out what makes it so intriguing and in yours it's that little unexpected dip (...I can be sure of..) that grabbed me. Very nice!


Thanks a lot Bjorn. Glad you like it

Daryl,
  Very cool and catchy tune!  Got that Beatles vibe for sure.  Nice stuff all around.  The mix sounds good on my system, no crits.  Nice collab between the three of you.  Nice work!

Daryl,
  I really like the feel, the mood of this man, and at the end of the day You are trying to convey a feeling, an emotion and it does.  I think her vocal could be a little hotter. but I am sure that's subjective.  Nice synths, and guitar lead. ohhh. and harmony lead that at the end too.  Cool.  Good job man.


Thanks a lot Chuck. Appreciate it.
