Loneliness Aint Nothin' To A Man Like Me

 A song I wrote a couple of years ago, did some tweaking to it this week. Thoughts welcome! the drums are audio loops so they are what they are but that snare just gelled with the acoustic guitar so good I had to use them.

    Wow, that's pretty cool. You have your own unique sound/style there, to my ears anyway. The singing sounds great as well.

    Gave me a Randy Newman vibe (yes that's right, you made me feel Randy baby, Yeah!) Ever since that 1st long night in prison, I believe loneliness can have it's advantages...  That piano may could roll off the highs (EQ) I may all so pull a little verb off of that sax. Sounded good though! Good job.

    Thanks Robby! I appreciate the listen and will go back and look at the piano eq and sax verb!

    I hated the corniness of the midiness of track when it started. But then, got to love it. Fits perfect.
    Really a cool song.

    Thanks timidi. I am no keyboard player so anything I do with keys stands a real good chance of being corny! I usually make it work for me by not playing no more than I can get by with, glad you liked it.

    Hey Monty, this is really different which makes it stand out from the pack.  I love your arrangement and vocal.  The synth voices actually work quite well and give this a unique flavor.  Keep em coming!

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Your songwriting craft is mature and polished -- you speak truths without resorting to cliche. I've listened to you on Reverbnation, and I'd love to hear this song given that full treatment.

    so cool.  Aside from the obvious midi sounding patches, this is a really great song. Look at replacing them with something that sounds better and still fits the groove of this song.
     
    The mix itself is out-freaking-standing. Nice and clean.
     
    On the replacement of the corny midi stuff...have a look at a band called Pomplamoose over on youtube. they use all sorts of things including kids xylophones, toy piano's and other unique instruments. Think outside the box.

    Thanks Herb for the nice comments and feedback. I will check Pomplamoose out for sure. I have a couple horn players in my band,I will probably get them to do something on it eventually but I may come up with something better after listening to the videos you mention.

    I love the words and the arrangement and the quirky instruments. Makes me want to cover it.
