Nice song!  The lyrics on the chorus is very catchy.  As for the mix, it is a retro style, but I seem to be getting most of the instrument on the right side except for the guitar solo that finally came on the left channel.  The piano sounds a bit muddy, but that could be done intentionally.  If that is what you want, then it sound cool too.

Excellent song and excellent vocal performance as usual.  You've got a great voice and vocal style. I like those background vocals toward the end.  I agree with others that this mix is really good.   It's a well balanced mix for headphones. 

Guitartrek, Engage! Thanks :-)

Whoa, Robby, ya' got another winner here.  You are truly the master of the ballad.  You just do these so, SO well.  Everything was great, but I felt that those little punchy tom fills were very effective when you threw them in.  Sorry, buddy, but I'm just out of words here... another super ballad.

But where in the heck do you come up with all these images? 

Version 6 sounds really good.  Much improved over the original version.  Nice job.

Finally getting a chance to check this out, Robby.
 One word , "goosebumps".

Great song, plenty of space, loads of soul. For me the shaker stands out a little too much.... but thats just me Thanks for sharing

Ive listened to alot of music since my last listen to In Time but here goes.
I hear more piano and strings especially in the intro and the shaker has gone down which I like. The snare i cant make up my mind about. Its loud enough but at the same time it sound a little distant. Maybe its the verb. Dunno, what do you think?

Ive listened to it loads of times now and and I am still really enjoyin it.
Great song

Monkey, it's input like this that we all really appreciate. I was listening too and hearing much of the same things and tweaking. I have no idea what I was thinking with those shakers on that first mix... They were real shakers too? Those little egg shakers? I love um :-) I think percussion really adds a vibe to music. But it has to sit right... Thanks a pant load for listening and for commenting constructively, I really appreciate it.

Gian, thanks for listening and for commenting.

I just listened to the last mix and I like it. Somehow it's more clear than before and the whole mix compliments your voice, which is superb! Good job Robby!

I've not much to add to what's been said, but since I was asked so nicely ...

As heaps of people have said, this sounds good.  The mix works, and the arrangement is well done. 

Every now and then something sounds a little funny in the kit, but I'm not sure what.  Do the cymbals and the snare sound like they're apart, played in different rooms or something?  Is the snare squashed a bit sometimes?  Not sure.  Also the lead guitar break towards the end isn't seater right, or seems a little out of place.  Not sure ... probably just a personal taste thing.  

It doesn't sound bad though, so don't try to fix it -- if this is #6 and final then let's just say that it's part of the character of the song.

DB, thanks for listening and for commenting, I look forward to your next release :-)

So, I was waiting till you used the word 'final'.
Great stuff Robert.
It's done.

Nice work Robby.
I enjoyed the lead tones. Was that a.................... never mind.

That my friend is a PRS :-) It's the sunburst in the middle, and it's like butter...

Dude! I'm in no way experienced enough to comment on the mix or anything like that, but from one musician to another - awesome job. I love the momentum of the song, the lyrics are great. I'm just a young whipper snapper (lol), but to me, this has a hint of U2 and a goo goo dolls-ish flair to it that I really like. 

Awesome job, sir. 

:-) Finally! A fellow bass player to enjoy that fretless :-) Thanks a pantload Warren! I really enjoyed playing the fretless on this one. I used to hate the fretless... Why? NO FRETS!! LOL! But I'm learning to play it. It's still bass? But it is so different playing a freaking fretless that it's "almost" like playing another instrument (not the bass). Fretless just has a feel... It's hard to explain to people who don't play bass? Fretless is all about the slides... And quarter notes "between" notes... And it has a certain "growl" that a regular fretted bass does not have. When I used to play a fretted bass in a band, I always had such respect and admiration for guys who played the fretless? It really is a cool instrument :-)  

And of course with the fretless, you have to be "much" more precise... Because if you're off, even a tiny bit? You can hear it "big time". Fretted bass, not so. fretless you have to be "spot on..." looking at the neck, watching form on the patterns, scales, it's really a separate instrument from a standard fretted bass, I recommend it "highly" to anyone who plays a fretted bass, get a fretless :-) You won't regret it.

Mine is a Warwick Thumb bass that's been highly customized. I had a luthier cut lines in the neck where the frets "should be?" And insert hard plastic slugs? So it "looks" like it's fretted? But they're smooth with the neck... This helps "a lot" with playing, because you have to put your fingers where the frets are supposed to be?    

Scotty understands because he plays that ****ing fiddle... An instrument sent STRAIGHT from the depths of HELL! No frets? "And it's tiny..." At least the fretless bass has a long scale? So little things while you can here them? Aren't amplified 1,000,000 times like they are on a fiddle!

Well, again, I like the song obviously because it's mine? But I really had a good time on the fretless :-) And I'm glad a fellow bass player could enjoy it and comment, thanks a million Warren, really made my day!

Oh good eye :-) That is a "rare" and special... Bowed guitar!

There are only a handful on the planet :-D

Check them out;

:-)

It's like a cello? It's like a violin? But it's tuned like a guitar? And the neck is curved... Like a cello/violin? So you can play it with a bow? And only hit the string you're trying to play?

It is "way cool..."

On this vid on youtube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkj5Xy1YKmE

You can actually see my guitarviol (what he calls them) in the background hanging up? It's just over his right shoulder (screen left) as he's playing. Watch him play :-) It's really a cool instrument man :-) It takes some time to learn the bow technique? But if you play guitar? You can play one!  

His basic model was the Naked Spartan? So He made me, "the naughty naked spartan" LOL! The reason is because this instrument is used (not mine) but the bowtar, in the movie the 300? On the sound track? 

Watch the whole video :-)

Thanks Vincente, I wasn't really trying for that piano sound and I agree it could be brightened? I may go back and do final mix + 1 :-)
