The lead vocal was recorded with the new mic (MikTek C7), the harmonies were with my previous condenser.
 
Enjoy  (I hope) - Daryl

Somethin' Just Ain't Right - Daryl Crowley 2012
 
He said he had a deal for me that I just couldn’t pass
 
Inside information he could turn into cash
 
If I’d give him some money.         If I’d give him some time.
 
He said: he could make it happen once the papers were signed.
 
Who do you think you are – you’re actin’ so cool?
 
Do you think that I’m crazy?  Do you think I’m a fool?
           
            I may not seem too bright  - but somethin’ just ain’t right
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Don’t misunderstand me.  He said nothin’s guaranteed
 
That anything can happen is a point I must concede
 
But this is just about as sure as anything can be
 
I stared at him in disbelief.   Are you talkin’ to me?
 
Do you know who  - you’re talkin’ to?
 
You’d call me suspicious if you only knew
 
            At first I thought I might   but somethin’ just ain’t right.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus:
 
            It seems pretty strange that somethin’ in the air.
 
            I’ve felt it before but I can’t remember where
 
            Walk away -Run Away - into the night -   Somethin' just ain’t right.
 

 
He said you’ve got me wrong my friend.  I’m lookin’ out for you
 
Lots of people want this deal.   So whatcha gonna do?
 
I said:  You can take your snake oil   and take your tonic too.
 
Take a hike cause I’ve just had all  I can take from you.
 
            Like a scream in the night,  somethin’ just ain’t right
 
 

Wonderful, Daryl! That new mic sounds great too!

Hi Daryl,

I'm at work listening on cheap headphones and this sounds great! Nice interplay between the different guitar parts.

Your vocal and harmonies are outstanding as is the whole mix. Excellent.

Oh Yeah! Definitely one of your best and with your consistent top quality, that says a huge amount about just how good this song is. Definitely 5 Star.

 Man you come up with some killer lyrics! Great arrangement,playing and vocals.

Daryl,
 
You definitely hit a home run with this.  Sounds really good and quite a great song as well.
 
Regards

Very cool, very smooth, very clean, and tastefully done.  Great lyrics and great story.  I particularly like your harmonies and the interplay between guitars.  Excellent stuff Daryl!!!!

A cross between the Eagles "Witchy Woman" and the Zombies "Time of the Season".  

I really enjoy this bit of work.  But then again, I always seem to enjoy your work.

Keep recording,
Lance

I probably listen to more of your music than most people (good background while I'm working).  Your voice is really different in this one.  I can't believe that it is just the microphone.  Not meaning this to be an obsequious compliment, but your voice sounds much younger in this one.  It is cleaner and the higher frequency components are there.  If it is the mike you got yourself a winner here (or was it just a real good day to do vocals).

Excellent work , I really liked this one...

Well done.  I WISH I could accomplish the smoothness in your mix.  It sounds like you may be influenced by the Eagles?

Gee, I was wondering if I wanted to tweak the mix some more, but maybe I need to leave it alone

To answer a few of the questions above.  My amp is my Carr Mercury through my home built isolation box with the same speaker as in the Carr itself, the cab mic is Sennheiser e-906.

This song is keyed just about as high as I can power a tune these days.  I tend to sing better in the higher ranges but it's much more difficult for me than it was in the days when I was on the road.

Which leads into a couple of the other questions about the Eagles influence.  My last union club road tour our band played EVERYTHING by the Eagles, we could have dona whole night of the Eagles.  In those days I sang a lot of high harmonies.  Dangerous notes that would kill me now if I even tried them.

The mic is very nice, it seems to have that silky tone, although it's subtle.  I think what is starting to help me the most is that I'm doing it a lot more... that darn practice thing.

Thanks for the kind comments all.  It's great encouragement, although even if everyone hated it, I would still do it because it's just so satisfying... and I'm sure you know what I mean.

Daryl

Love the tune. All the tones seem spot on. Great mix and tasty guitar work.

Lovely tone, really cool tune. Nice vocals

Daryl

Man the mix just slayed me right from the jump.......

I have a new studio arrangement and I am truly loving the new sound.......and then you came along to let me hear just how good it can be!

Nice an smooth................................................................
