this is a really infectious little tune.
I couldn't make the connection between *I could have lived forever* (btw the d is missing on your tune title) and loving someone. Is it like feeling immortal because you're so in love?
The last verse needs a little more variety by that point it gets repetitive to say *I love you* over and over again.
And then finally I think the song needs a little less reverb.
IMHO of course.

Terrific song, Steve! I love your voice on this, and, for once, I don't mind the reverb because I think reverb is coming back in style, these days. Overall, the recording is lush and spacious and has a vintage feel. It's not all that easy to write a love song, and I think you pulled it off very well.

Many thanks guys for listening and the comments, which in part I wholly agree. The reverb was a bit high because I felt it made the sound more 'dreamy' and of course the last verse wasn't changed as it repeated the message of the song and hopefully left the listener with a kind of loss ... (BTW Lynn your comment about the song having a vintage vibe is extremely astute because I wrote it about 15 years ago on a Tascam 688 and remastered using Platinum! LOL)

What a beautiful tune, and lyric. Somehow you pull off the near impossible trick of writing a love song without getting cheesy. I love your voice, and I get that you deliberately went for a lot of reverb. It might be interesting to hear a direct comparison with much less verb, I can imagine it sounding very intimate that way, and very effective. The overall production sounds top notch to me.

Just for the record I have corrected the 'D' problem and added my excuses for the 'overly' use of reverb on this track 7 of LIFE and LOVE ( http://spak1.bandcamp.com/album/life-and-love ) It's good idea you have to do this one with accoustic guitar and vocal ... I'll give it a try thanks

Nicely written track, capture sounds good here, some nice playing, good vocal. Perhaps a slightly shorter reverb tail might just sort the overly reverbiness (if that is a word) of it. JMFO

Just to echo some of the comments above, I think the reverb works well with the song. It does have a bit of a dreamy feel without sounding like it's in an empty gym. Nice!

Yes that is excellent use of effects overall, I hear a cool phasey guitar to,, well done!
Great vocals and arranging. top shelf stuff.
Only comment is put a tail on that ending. It sort of cuts off a few seconds to early.

Lovely vocal, well written song. I like the reverb, it fits the mood. Maybe a bit too much on the chorused guitar in the right channel, that's a little smeary.

Just been on your web site and had a read through ... Great work! and it makes your comments even more valued. I too started recording on very (very) old Truvox, given/taken from my grandad and my love for writing songs continued from there through Atari / Tascam 244 / two Tascam midi studio 8 tracks / blah, blah, marriage, kids, on an on, a band called 'Kerbstone' ... Yikes!, until Sonar 5 / 7 / 8 and up to Platinum! (With a bunch of rack stuff that, like you, I'd never sell.Your so right when it comes to producing your own songs and I totally agree about learning the basics and knowledge of what, say, a comp/limiter really does! I could gush forever but I won't, just wanted to say thanks and carry on the good work with the website.
