New Music Video - "Broken Angel" (Rock)

Hi, Guys,
 
If you get a chance, please check out the new video release for the song "Broken Angel" from my latest CD, "Light and Shadows".

Thanks in advance for taking time to check it out if you're able to!  I'm hoping to be able to post some new test mixes for my next CD that I've been working on very soon.
 
Thanks again, and Best Wishes!
Bob

    Hi Bob,
     
    Nice to see you here, I have to be honest I tend not to watch videos because I play internet bits back on my studio internet PC which uses different screens to my DAW.  The screens of my DAW sit between my Event monitors.  Consequently to listen properly I face away from the internet PC screens.
     
    Nice tune as always Bob enjoyed the tone and your playing, if I was to make any observation I found the piano just a little intrusive in places and just a tad mechanical, just a furry aliens point of view .
     
    Thanks for sharing Bob enjoyed.

    Good song Bob.  I wish you would put more energy into your live playing!  
    I think the girl should be less exposed too.  Her outfit seems a little too revealing for the mood of the song (angels and all).  
    Piano sync is off but that really didn't bother me.  
     
    Overall, I think the song is the best part of this production.  I do enjoy your creativity so I hope you take my feedback in the right way.

    Great production! My only concern about that poor girl is how cold that room must have been?

    The song itself sounds pretty good here - nice balance, catchy hook.  Nice!
     
    But yeah, the video seems out of sync pretty often with both piano and guitar which is a bit distracting.

    It's great to hear from you, buddy, I hope you're doing great!
     
    Thank you for checking the video out and for your good input and comments!
     
    LOL, Yep, coming from decades of live playing metal in biker bars and running around on stage like a sweaty, raving lunatic, I just can't ever seem to get comfortable playing to an empty room with just a camera there, while pretty much standing in one spot!  After seeing my videos, all my local friends ask why I'm not climbing the big PA system stacks and diving off with my wireless like the good old days!
     
    Thanks again for checking it out, Jim, greatly appreciated!

    Overall it sounds a bit too compressed to me. And yeah, maybe the piano is tad to UP in the mix.
     
    And yeah I was on highest rez.
     
    To be honest I just finished about 3 hours of mixing so *maybe* its just my ears.
     
    Good vocals as always Bob.

    I think it's a good song. It's mixed well and sounds good.
     
    I don't think it works though. If it were up to me, I would slow the tempo down, give the piano more of a melodic feel and in power ballad fashion, bring out the chorus with booming guitars and the like.
     
    Other than that, nice work!

    I don't know Bob but to me you hit another home run.  The production sounds good, and your vocals and playing always sound great.
    I also enjoyed the video.  Are you doing your own video work?

    Hey Bob, all the best on your new CD man! I liked the video and I think it added a lot to that song. I like the way you have gone just a bit from solid hard rock to a more hard pop feel with this. The piano groove is killer, the mix is perfectly done. Did you have this mastered professionally? I will check your CD links out. Thanks for sharing this!

    Bob, sounds great. I liked the piano. Something different from you. Great job on guitar as well.

    Bob,
     
    Good song, really like the piano riff.   I am a fan of the 80's power ballad style, start small and build to a climax, like Sister Christian (Night Ranger) has lots of light and shade.   If I were producing a song like this I would use that approach.  Maybe not double the vocals until the chorus, for example.   I like how you built the intro and first version with piano, guitar, bass, drums then bring in the organ.  That is a nice touch.   Maybe use an acoustic instead of electric guitar for that section?   The chorus actually needs to be bigger I think, more Bvox harmonies and really big/wide guitars and huge harmonies...there is another hook in there;)
     
    The guitar solos are really good, always a sucker for the guitar harmony;)
     
    Good song, I think you could have a hit with this song, seriously, otherwise would have just called it what it is, a great song and performance, and moved on without the nits/suggestions.  It is a very cool tune.
     
    Regards

    Bob, what can I say!  You've mastered the art of metal and music videos.  I wish the record companies could see this because you deserve a big audience for the huge sound you create.  You raise the bar for all of us.

    All the best,
    Lynn
