remix Kid Blue

I had this song up last summer and since i have this demo of PSP vintage warmer for another 5 days i thought i'd remix what was needing some velvet.

This song needed lots of envelopes for essses and some compression for bass. i tweeked levels and I put the vintage warmer in the a buss and piped it through the master.
I think it is much warmer then i used to have it....although there are still some esses peaking through

Spectacular drumming by Jonbouy...

Your music never ceases to impress me. The changes are just phenomenal. Rick, this is a very exceptional tune. Musically and conceptually! Wow, what a weekend, Gents and DistantTowers on a friday night.

Great songwriting!

Sounds good - have a couple of nits.. :
- I'd like the vox a tad louder - espec. the parts where the drums are busy.
- A couple of places towards the end, the instruments fall a bit out of "sync".

Wow, what a cool song! Very strong melody and I really like the minor chord at the end of the verse. The vocal and harmonies are great and Jonbouy has managed to get a Ringo sort of feel on the drums which seems totally appropriate for the song. Great!!

All the best,

I don't remember this one. Maybe the vintage warmer drastically changed my memory.

1:10+ is spectacular.
Drums at 1:40+ have a sweet vibe that compliments things well.

Sounds vintage and warm ... but also airy (above the sib range) ... which I like. Gives a sort of vinyl ambience, thus.

Listened twice ... vox levels seemed perfect on the 2nd go-round (to my ears).

Overall: simple, vibrant and fun ... with a few loose ends (timing issues btw vox and high hats during 1st minute) ... a very sweet garage sketch-demo (to my ears). But, I personally feel (at this time) that this is worthy of a fuller production ... due to its pop-simplicity and mainstream appeal. Maybe keep this pastel sketch (as is) and produce another oil-painting version based on this. JMO.

I'm ready for the album brother!!

Yeah, I remember this one, great tune.

Hi Ron ~ I'm glad you are liking it....thank you for the listen!

Warren ~ I'm digging that new offering of yours and Mark's a lot. Very fresh. Thanks for coming by!

Bert ~ These last few years I've actually loved writing lyrics whereas i used to dread it. Maybe because there's a lot more to sing about then my poor broken heart. Hold back? big ol' dude like me? I, Shirley Won't!!! Thank you so much for popping in and dropping some comments.

M.Man ~ Thank you! Yes, I recorded the track and later (after i'd already de-shmumped it) Jonbouy left me the gift of his drum playing. He gave it as a simple gift and not meant for a colab but greedy guy i am i used it and had to "play" with some of it in the middle. Any timing wrinkles are my impetuous strayings.

Alan ~ Yes, I hear a lot of Beatle harmonies especially the middle....big "Beatles' For Sale" influence. I'm very happy you came by. Thank you for listening

Hello Gary ~ yes, Jonbouy's heartfelt drums are outstanding. Thank you for the listen.

Tom ~ I did do quite a few colabs this last year. Amazing anyone still talks to me. I did bring up the vox some...may need to tweek more. Thank you, sir!

Philip ~ The vintage warmer is one of those things in life i get to be excited about legally. I ran down my list of songs and saw a few could profit from this nice vintage emulating technology....don't know why...i, myself, don't like being so vintaged. Not sure if i'll ever get around to redoing it. Thank you for the listen and notes.

Grant ~ Wow...very nice thing to read. Thank you for coming by to listen!

Tony ~ Not sure i could stay focused long enough to make an album...too many second thoughts and 'I shoulda' s . Thank you for the listen.

Hi Kev ~ That synth thing is very evasive. It doesn't cut through and i don't want it too obvious. I'll try panning a bit.
Yes, Jon's drums put a fire under it.... Thank you!

robby ~ Thank you for stopping by to listen!

Freddy ~ Good to hear ....Thank you very much!

I'm not sure if I missed the extremely cool harmonies last time, or I just noticed them more this time, but they're great. Cool song and some nice additions to the original. Cool drumming by Jon of course. :-)

Hello Warren, Thanks for the many listens. Makes my heart go thumpity thump!

Janet, I boosted the harmonies a bit. Lots of stuff i've learned since last time i posted it. Thank you for the listen.


Jimmy, How does anyone come up with what they write? Pain. Love....more pain.....less love.....lot's more pain.......then BOOZE!!!!!!! Thank you for the listen and comments!
