English Rose

This is a cover of a song by The Jam/Paul Weller - I posted it a while back but it's now remixed and mastered

    Always loved this song, Weller in a rare romantic mood. Lovely version Daryl, your voice suits this to a tee.

    Sounds well here, perhaps the vox is a little forward but that could just be my furry control room, very bright and airy.
     
    Nicely done Mr Daryl

    James - thanks mate - it's one of my faves of all time.
    It means a lot to me being here in the US too - the song can be read as being all about being away from England rather than a girl (maybe I'm pointing out the obvious). Any road up, cheers.

    Well Done! It just got better and better as the song progressed. I don't like disagreeing with the Wookie, but I liked the vocals right up front where I can hear 'em. I haven't heard your previous post of this tune but this one works very well indeed.

    I have never heard this song before -- so, I don't know if it is a good cover or not, but I do know that this is a lovely song and you did an excellent job on this.  Excellent work!!!

    Daryl,

    Very nice. I have never heard this song either and I liked it a lot; very well crafted. Excellent use of delay though out this track.

    I remember this song very well, and you've taken it to the next level.  It's very polished, yet very touching at the same time.  Way to go Daryl!

    All the best,

    Wookie - Thanks for the compliments sir - it's funny, the original mix had the vocals even further forward in the mix - that was one of the big changes

    As an old original Jam fan it is a delight to hear this wonderful song again.  Your interpretation is very touching…
     
    Here is what I like:
     
    The (what sounds like) double tracked vocals that come in at 1:12 – nice
     
    The dramatic uplift at 1:53.some nice instrumentation there and lifts the whole feeling up nicely along with the key step… love that..is that a timpani in there?  what else is in there and what did you use?
     
    The backing instrument drop out at 2:27…very effective…adds a nice dramatic touch…
     
    2:23 – the mournful, lonesome piano onwards….with the string backing.....lovely… again - what did you use for this?
     
    It is very interesting to hear your work on this as this is a song I know so well…ingrained since I first heard it on All Mod Cons more than 30 years ago…..
     
    Personal thought…as some others have mentioned – I think the vocals a little bit further back in the mix would may add to the mournful, longing feeling….maybe a little more reverb, echo, whatever to add some wistfulness….
     
    And maybe a little more sustain (or reverb?) on some of the ending notes on the keys at the end of some of the measures
     
    However, as you may have guessed I am just a newcomer to this stuff and … hey….what do I know!
     
    Really nice work and as I say….to hear your version of this really made an old mod glow inside….
     
    Peace man and thanks for sharing it…

    I'm usually not crazy about covers but this one is a nice version.
    Nice you put the words there.
