Dreams Can Come True (Pop)

Hi Freddy. Great song. Even though I've only heard a few of your tunes it was interesting to hear you sing in this style. I think your vox work for this. Nice performance and clear recording. I love the story behind the song. I was born in 1966 so that's cool too. Also that pic on you site is dynamite.

nice work Mr. Freddy. Say hi to the Mrs.:)

An alternative song with a slight 60's throw back.  I find it very interesting because it is quite different.  Kind of humorous lyrics.  I listened a couple of times and now I say it is a very nice song.

wow, 1966 :-) This is a little different from you, yet some how the same? Not what I expected, I like it.  45 years :-) Wow, I can't find a woman who'll put up w/me for 45 minutes!

Freddy - if the song picture on Soundclick is you on your first date, you've definitely gotten cooler with age!

The bluuze is definitely your thang, but to me it doesn't seem unnatural to hear you do something like this style. The arpeggiated guitar makes me thing a little of early REM. I loved the BGVs and the spaces you left in the arrangement for the song to breathe. There are some parts where the vocals seem to lack a little confidence, where it didn't quite have the same conviction as the rest. Maybe just cuz you're out of your comfort zone a tad. But that's a minor crit - great job on this one! You've been knockin 'em out...

excellent song very, very cool guitar  riffs  + + + 1

arrrr....cant get to the link!!..

have ta try later...

Freddy...cool tune and congrates on your anniversary...I think I'd pop a lil vrb on the vox but beyond that its a cool tune..love the guitar work...

I have a country tune I put together but there's no vocals. Maybe I should fix that.

  Hey Freddy
      I thought I had commented on this but apparently not. I've had some physical
conditions lately so they've got me a little bit out of whack. If it was the "pop" type
of style/sound that you were going for I thought you did that very well. Reading your
thread it seems that you feel that your gonna sound "blues" no matter what you do.

 I think that you clearly establish the difference between "this piece" and your blues
tunes. The arrangment and the playing of the guitar parts is very tasteful. It
gives me a very radio friendly vibe to it. On one hand it might be called a dated
sound, however these days I think that in some cases that there is such diversity
songs, sounds and styles.

  I could easily picture this as a song used in a commercial just to mention one thing.
Largely because it is unique in a cool way. And it has a positive vibe to it.
 
    very well done Freddy

Hi BIABDude.  Thanks a million for listening and the kind words.
 
Hello Barry.  Yup 43 years and we still get along!  Thanks for taking time to listen and for the feedback.  I look forward to you posting more songs on the forum.
 
Hi Tom.  I'm glad that you were able to get the link to work.  Thanks for the feedback.  I agree with you about the reverb but given my penchant for misuse of it, I got a wee bit shy about it.  I have to sneak back and try experimenting with it again.
 
Hey Pat.  I remember AB and also have some pleasant memories of it also.  If only I had a 12-string.  It is probably better that I don't though.  The 12 strings would confuse me too much, I have enough problems trying to manage 6 .
 
Hi Bill.  I'm glad to see you back on the forum. Thanks for the feedback.  Hey bring on the country, man, lyrics or not.  It is almost like instrumentals are a lost art form.  I really enjoyed the last song that you posted. 
 
Hey Phil.  Thanks for the good words.  Every once in a while, if I treat her really nicely, my old Oscar Schmidt- Delta King will make me sound as if I actually can play.  If I tell her that she sounds like a Rickenbacker that ought get me a lot of points with her.    Yes, I do talk to my guitars but fortunately, they have not talked back yet.
 
Hi Jimmy.  I really appreciate your taking the time to listen and respond.  I always value your input.  I can't help myself from going back in the alley to try and get some of the old sounds.  Probably because I am old   ------   but I was a young sponge back then and that was when I was discovering music and was soaking up all the different sounds that I could. 
I sincerely hope that things are working out for you.  You are in our prayers and you have to fight hard and get well soon because we all want to hear the new songs that you will be posting on this forum when you're better.
 
Thanks Mathew.  I'll go back and fiddle around with the panning and see if that helps.  Thanks again.
 
Freddy J

Hey Freddie. I just saw this, I missed it when you first posted it.

I like it. I think the guitars sound ok hard panned like that, but I'm a big fan of that type of panning. ;) To me it makes mixes much more interesting.

The only thing I noticed was the vocals seemed a bit low in the beginning but seemed to come up as the song progressed. Or maybe it was my imagination?

Hey Freddie,
 
If I had it a critique it would echo Bub: vocals seemed a bit low in the beginning...

All the parson to have a one of the dream. Some parson to his dream complied and other parson to wait his dream complied. So I also have to dream to my national team to win the world cup. So I have to all the time to my team to win the world cup to daily pray to my god.

Mmmm. Thought I'd already commented on this one a coupla days ago..... not to worry....


Not sure I can put it so elequently as this guy, but FWIW I thought that it sounded pretty good except for the vox being maybe a little dry overall and a little quiet early on in particular - otherwise I think the jobs a good 'un. ;)

Hi Bub!  I'm glad you liked it.  I did have it panned kinda hard and I must admit that I do prefer songs that way.  You must be right about the vocals because a couple of others commented on that.  I'll have to go back and do a tweek.  Thanks for the input.
 
Hi Listen and thanks for listening.  You're right about the vocals.  I was trying to get them to build but I guess I missed the mark.  I appreciate the feedback. 
 
Hey Peter.  Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment.
 
Hello Paulo.  You were very elequent in your comments and feedback :>) thanks!  You're not the only one to comment on the vocals  ---- so, I have some corrections to make.  Thanks for taking the time to comment.
 
Hey there Bapu!  Thanks a bunch for listening and commenting.  I'm glad you liked it.
