I don't know..I listened over and over. I remember being younger and that feeling of anticipation and excitement right after the needle popped...
the first couple of bars. Listening to the new release of....and not a let down, they did it again!
Been awhile since I got that "pulled in". When the song, the performance...the magic...it's personal, not everyone feels that way. I feel that way.

What a trip. Thanks and hope it happens again.

Thanks, Much appreciated,

Hello Lawrence,

Thanks for listening and the kind words.

I was listening again, while drinking my wakeup beans, and soundclick is screwed. Had some very loud "love ya" message that would randomly blast. I was going to recommend that you put the shortcut in your signature but after that I think you should get on imusicscene. You can upload 192kbps MP3's there and add that to your sig.

If that publisher has a cell of gray matter they'll nab you. And when they do you be sure to come back here and touch base.

If I may go out on a limb and with no intention of insulting myself or anybody else- the desire to create a beautiful recording in this relative "new" aquired ability (affordable home studios) is a wonderful thing, no doubt. Doing so is not assuring one of music marketing success. The gift one has in making music with style and emotion can be captured with the cheapest of recorders. History has proven that. The "gift" is "great" by musical statements that appeal to the masses in a unique, natural way. I don't think Donovan could sing and his music was far from "tight" but he reached inside and grabbed, demanding attention with his unique style, writting skill and ability to express it.

One of the greatest things on this site is I get to hear that "unfiltered" quality of musicianship shared by all here. It's not contaminated with success or molded by marketing. It's pure and simply enjoyable for those that understand. Some shine brighter with that unique "light". It shines no less due to lack of recording skills...I believe you are shining brighter than you know.

Just felt like sharing this thought and I appoligize for the long winded opinion.

P.S. A point I always told my beginning guitar students- never be intimidated by other guitarist. Play the notes as you feel because nobody else can.

As with everyone else, I agree, amazing song! Really really enjoyed it!!

The harmony voice at the left in the first verse I thought sounded a bit too much in the left and could have been brought into the centre a little, though it still did fit as it was.

I'm still undecided on the effect on the vocals. I think if you were to use it, go with it on all/many your songs that are similar to this one, gives you your own sound. I think I do like it, but it's the pumping that's really getting to me. It sounds really compressed with attack and release settings that don't fit the tempo. Pre-set? I would love to hear a version which is much lighter on the compression, I just find it gets hard to really listen to properly with the pumping going on, but the song is so good that I simply ignore that and keep on listening!

I would REALLY like to hear another verse/bridge or something put into this song. It's not long enough!

Really liked the intro/first verse. Taking a note from your book there. That synth in there is really what does it though. I was trying to hear it through my headphones and I couldn't, but I knew it was there! I love how there are so many things going on in that first verse, but it just sounds so easy to listen to. Great use of the subtleties of instruments to create an awesome sound.

Great stuff, I hope you can work out the pumping/phasing problems and get a cleaner master uploaded. I will be watching this thread!

Just posted a re-master

Thanks,

Just did a remix.

Thanks,

Lawrence

Hi,...........Again, I had a second listen to the remix, and I think (IMO) the chorus may still be tad squashed, not pumping wise but dynamic wise. I think the chorus should open up and breathe a little more. I am convinced You have a hit on your hands here and you will probably go into the studio with a producer, engineer and all that good stuff to take care of all them details soon, But I thought I would give my honest 2 cents worth mix wise. again great song!!
