Certain Days

Hey,

I've tweaked this mix. Have a listen and comment if you can. First song on my link.

Thanks

    This is a real nice mix.

    No critique... just sitting back and listening.

    Well done

    nice mix, everything cuts through just right.


    Whoa.... to you ...oh...earth and sea...
    for the devil sends the beast with wrath.....
    because he knows the time is short.....
    let him who hath understanding.....
    reckon the number of the beast.....
    for it is a human number...
    it`s number is.....
    666

    So if JESUS rose from the DEAD
    Does that mean he`s the ORIGINAL ZOMBIE?

    Don - great sound, great mix. no crits from me here - except the percussive rat-a-tat becomes annoying after a while - i'd lose that in either the verse or chorus.

    Sounds good to me Don! Nice voice you have and the piano as well. The 'desolate wind' sound fits the theme of the song.

    Very Nice Mix ... Good Playing...

    I like the castanets thing ... but I suppose it could be used a bit more judiciously as noted above.

    Yeah this is a very nice production.

    Don,

    This is a great song, and you've played, sung and produced it well. I only have a couple of observations, FWIW:

    * The opening piano riff is a terrific hook, and could be brought out a little more.
    * I think a different reverb would be more flattering to your great vocal performance. I'd go for a delayed plate, but that's JMHO.
    * The harmony vocals are very nice.
    * I love the electric guitar entrance at 2:21, but it's over too soon!

    Thanks for sharing this excellent work! I very much enjoyed listening.

    When I was on a tour of the holy land, there were some people on the boat playing castanets? And they didn't have faith that people on that side of the boat liked their castanet music? So I said, "Oh ye of little faith, castanets on the other side of the boat". And sure enough, the other side of the boat LOVED the castanets! Just goes to show I guess.

    LOL! It was some bible humor, I thought it was pretty funny though, "Oh ye of little faith, castanets on the other side of the boat". Hello? Is this thing on?

    Great production...
