New Tune "Blue, Faded Like Bluejeans"

I haven't posted anything new here in ages, so thought it was about time.  This is a current sample of what I like to compose and record - easy listening with vocal harmonies.  Hope you enjoy a listen - comments welcome.

This was done in Sonar X-1 PE,  I'm in the process of installing X-2 while I save sheckles for X-3!

    Nice feel but the beach sounds were a little distracting.

    Harmonies are nice. Kind of a sad and happy song. Mello type song.

    Thanks for the feedback!   I always get very mixed response about beach sounds.  I think I'll try a mix without them.  And yeah, I usually do pretty mello stuff.  Must be getting old...!   lol   Thanks again for taking a listen!

    Real pretty John.
    "color me blue, faded like blue jeans"
    Love that line. I wish you'd have expanded on it.

    Yea, the sound effects are a little over the top IMO.

    I liked it.  Sweet and mellow.  The vocal parts with harmonies might be a little hot in a few places, but that's so minor.  Nice song.
