So Long: Danny Danzi

Well this is awesome!
Great arrangement, performance, song.  Great job Danny!  And nice songwriting Philip!

The mix was and production were very good.  No crits here, I thought it was spectacular

That was beyond impressive! Magnificent job Danny & Philip!!

Outstanding performances and production... well written song Philip... Danny, you have really gone all out on this... I'm impressed...

Wow guys, this is an amazing song and production.    Great work. 
 
Regards

XCLNT!!

I remember Danny once saying he's not really a singer. HaHa.

Absolutely incredible production.  Great Song/Lyrics Philip.  Great arrangement, instrumentation and vocal performance Danny.  My only comment, and I'm splitting hairs, is I'm not certain if I'm a fan of the piano sound.
 
Guys, this is, IMO,  has down one of the best productions I've heard here in a long, long time.  Awesome!!!
 
Rich

Im SPEECHLESS  

Very Nice!!!

Awesome! Great work from both of you!

Regards,
Dan

Its a hit gentlemen a great hit. Radio ready as is. Great colab

This is beyond amazing.
Bravo gentlemen.
Excellent arrangement, performances and production Danny.

really extraordinary.

Yanno, Danny... I'd love to get you to slam out some drums for me some day if you're into it. Drum sample stuff is cool and all but there ain't nothin' like a real pro hittin' the skins. 

And yes... this isn't my bag but it is some very fine work as always. Cheers.

wow.  unbelievably great!  fantastic.

I give up. 

Philip, this is a fantastic song!  Good for you!  I hope you have a great Christmas in spite of the huge loss you suffered this year.

Danny...absolutely amazing in all ways.  I could listen to this all day.  Don't sell yourself short on your voice either.  Either you can deliver or can really tweak those buttons!  lol  I love this!  

I prefer the quirky stuff Philip but Danny's playing and singing is excellent.

Peace Ben

eko: Thanks for the listen and the kind words!
 
Ed & Frank: When Philip made a mention to me that he posted this song, when I came to check in on it, I thought the same thing when I saw the title. LOL! Nah, I don't think it was a ploy. I didn't even know he was going to post this to be honest and you know Philip, he's not one that ever does the "ploy" thing. :)  
 
Tim: Thank you! Really appreciate it bro!
 
Beepster: I owe you for all the theory stuff you shared with me and went through the pains of hell to create, so if you'd like me to play drums on a track for you, I'll gladly do it. I'm a metal head at heart, so no worries with me changing up for style. I don't know how well I'll do with your crazy timing stuff...lol...but I can usually do pretty well and promise to try my best for you. I've been playing drums longer than guitar, so I can usually accommodate. Thanks for the kind words. :)
 
drumstixkev: Thanks so much bro! Philip was a stickler for making sure every word was heard. My personal favorite version of this tune is one that has the vocals a little darker. But with feedback from Philip, I managed to come up with a version that gave us a happy medium. So glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
 
Reece: Thanks very much! No, you're not allowed to give up. You've come too far and have gotten really good at this. There's no turning back now. I'll have to hunt you down and coax you back into it with becan! :)
 
Rus: Thanks man. Yeah I try as hard as I can. I fail quite a bit and it hurts. I don't post my music on here because, well, most times I really don't think anyone would enjoy it and sometimes when I've felt I've really done a nice job, my skin isn't quite thick enough to handle harsh crits. I'm also really hard on myself production wise and know that I do a lot of talking on here so I'm a bit ashamed of showcasing music that may not be as polished. I know some people actually like it when we have a little dirt under our finger nails...but I posted something on here one time that wasn't quite done and I paid the price for it. All the comments about it were true, but it taught me to never post something that isn't baked all the way. LOL! What can I say...I'm actually very insecure.
 
Yeah, actually, I am a musician..lol....or try my best to be when I'm not recording/mixing/mastering for other people. I'm working on a new album that I hope to release sometime soon. I'll probably post a few mixes up here when they are more ready as I know that if I can pass the Sonar forum test, I'll pass anywhere. :)
 
Janet: thanks so much! I was actually going to mail you and ask you how YOU would have played piano on this. Then I just decided to mess around on my own. I couldn't decide if I wanted more left hand or not. When I tried it, it seemed a bit too busy and walked over top of my cello. So I just did the left hand sparringly. I hope I made the right choice...it seemed to work better with the piece over-all. Thanks again. :)
 
Marcus Curtis: Most kind words there, thanks a lot! We try our best to clip the coolness meter. He reels me in when I get too far out there and I do the same with him. It's an interesting team. A Christian guy into primarily skate type/dance groove music, and me being a rock/pop/metal head. LOL! We conform to each other and really love what we do. We hope others do as well, but if not, we enjoy it and really have a blast. No brother, I'm not leaving the forum. That was just the title of the song "So Long". :)
 
Ben: Thanks for the kind words and the listen. Yeah, Philip is the king of quirkiness yet always delivers it with a good message and a hook. I borrowed what I could from his original song of this and just had a blast adding my style to it since he wanted a full re-write of the tune. Thanks again.
 
Bub: No worries, I'd never pass away without clearing it with you first. LOL! :) Same here man, differences aside, I too would never want to see anything bad happen to you. As a matter of fact, for what it's worth and I mean this, I've always kept you in my prayers for the whole job thing as well as your health. It seems things are going well for you now with the new house, building you just built and you beat that pneumonia thing thank God. I hope things continue to go well for you. You sure have been through a lot the past few years. Hopefully good things are on the horizon. Glad you liked everything here, much appreciated. :)
