Yet another new track that swarmed on me last Friday...NEW MIX

It's called "Don't Ever Leave Me".  
 
But you can now...to go and listen to it.  But do come right back.

Wow, very cool song and feel! Love the subtle vibrato in the voice and the synth-comme-brass lines starting in the second verse. Very musical. Thanks a lot - that was a real pleasure! :)

I like the finger snapping jazzy sound of this song and I was intrigued enough to listen to it a couple of more times.

I think the fingersnapping could take a rest somewhere in the middle, then bring it back in later.   The transition into the brass at about 1:20 is well done and the overall production is very good. At first I thought whatever you did to the vocal track was a bit over the top (esp since I've listened to a couple of your other songs), but it works after a few measures of listening time.

Just one man's opinion.

Cool one 'Olpal, very Fagen-esque. Seems a little more sparse than your usual productions, are you planning on adding more to it? I also found the fingersnaps a bit distracting after a while.

He's fairly single minded and isn't about to give up...and neither do those snaps. Sorry:-)

 
That's all right. I'll probably get over it.

I see now what you're doing there with the snaps.  Makes sense.

I guess I need to correct a misconception. I...with the exception of a brief period in the early 80s...have made zero dollars writing, producing and mixing my own original vanity tracks. Although I would surely welcome all possible income that might be garnered from them.

I do make (very little) money from producing voiceover and complete spots for radio and TV. And the infrequent custom music for broadcast or corporate use.

I wish to gawd that I could make money with my dim witted noodlins...and perhaps one day I shall. Although I wouldn't bet on it. Not on your tintype.

But thanks for the kind words. I sincerely appreciate them, ol pal.

And I shall groove on:-)

Well fer gawd sakes put up a website, stick a 99 cent price tag on your songs, and I'd buy me some. There are still older people who appreciate good music and like to have legit copies of it.
 
On this song, which is your usual friggin sweet mix, I never got "snaps" - I thought it was a guy banging two woodblocks. You could eq some high end out of that, it might sound more human finger-y.
 
Or, have a group of people actually snapping. Record yourself actually snapping, multiply by 12 or 8 or whatever. I think it would give you the insistence you need, but is would be cooler sounding. Months later, when you are done editing 72,000 snap hits, they can cart you off.  :)
 
Anyway, keep 'em comin' old pal.
