Very good tune here Daryl (as always, very catchy).....another excellent Staypress production. I have to say though that the bass has a lot of very nice low end.....tasty phatness that I like!!
Good to see you settled in and thanks for the dedication.....
Cheers Bro lol

Good move, certainly from a musical standpoint. Really clear mix, and vocals just pop right out. The bass is banal, of course, but I'd vote for just a tad less bass in the mix. I mean just a skosh of a tad.
Staypress remains a solid favorite of mine.
cheers,
-Tom
Thanks so much Tom 'Staypress remains a solid favorite of mine' - I'll be sure to tell him.

Hi folks
I hope you are all well.
Here is my first effort in my new home in deepest South Wales (UK). Co-written by the delightful Ed Kocol.
Nits and crits welcome.

Wow. This is great. definitely scratches my Brit-Pop itch. Kinks, Blur, Pulp (on uppers), etc. I really like it. You don't distribute this on the major retailers? I'd buy it.

Aside from the bass, this is most definitely not banal.  Sounds great as always I would expect nothing less. I have to ask - what did you use for the short/room reverb? Love it. Oh, and the "annual updates" to the story are just brilliant.

Cool song and quite sad at the same time. I got a Bowie vibe from it. A little Major Tom-ish. Nice job by all involved!

Another excellent, humorous pop treat! Glad you are settling in to Olde England. I'm with Tom on the bass being just a spot too loud, but otherwise, a very pristine, most excellent mix.
Regards,
Dan
Thanks a lot Dan. I'll have a look at the bass when I get a moment.

I love everything about it! What fun lyrics. I'm with the others about the bass coming down a little, but not much because it's the driving force of the song. I've always loved a tightly tuned snare ever since I first heard Bill Bruford, and this is why. Great job all around.
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.

The work of a genius - this is such an interesting song - I love every bit of it - had to listen all the way to the end - and that's rare.
Absolutely love this.

I always love your Daryl from the British Invasion sound. Good story here. many of us can relate to it. I see Kokol found the bass control on that bass. LOL It sounds deep and nice. Of course I have been away from the board for quite awhile so he could have found it a year ago. Kidding, buddy.

Warren, sorry to say that's not me on bass. I (almost) never play bass on a Staypress tune. But certainly not on this one.

Very clever song. I like your disclaimer, "*Any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is purely coincidental" as this story could probably be applied to many, many people:)
Good work all around, as others mentioned, bass might be a tad too loud but it is a stellar production.
Regards
Thanks a lot Mark. Very kind of you. It could be about a lot of people but I only had one in mind.

Songs by a monkey in a business suit named Staypress. Interesting. Love the lyrics in this. No doubt many on this board can at least partially identify with this.
