Great song! Sounds good on these speakers. I really like the vocals, they fit perfectly together! Like your other songs, you manage to get some good power in the chorus, and I love it! Takes me back to my younger days when I was listening to power ballads on my discman 

Great job!

Thanks Øyvind
 
I'm glad you liked it.
Yep.... I can't escape the 80s...I've tried but it's futile at this point.

Very nice all around!

Thanks String Jammer!

Hi Group,
 
Here's another song that Robin and I finished up recently.
Takes so dang long to finish these up.

Please let me know what you think about the mix and the song.
 
Thanks

I actually don't hear the country-rock reference. To me, this hearkens back to 80's Pop Rock, like Pat Benatar and Gino Vanelli (Black Cars era). The vocals sound great, as usual, maybe just a tad too far out front. Guitars are awesome. The whole thing is mixed very well!
 
And yes, they certainly do take a lot of time to finish, lol...
 
Regards,
Dan
 

 
Thanks Dan,
 
I'm wondering too, what about the song gives of a country vibe.
I remember picking up a Gino Vanelli album in 79.  I think it had "I just want to Stop" on it. That's a masterpiece... and his voice was truly amazing. The rest of the album seemed like a bunch of session musicians going thru the motions.... but they we're so far ahead of me ... musically that I couldn't play the stuff.

Sounds great to me - bass really pulls everything together. Vocals are outstanding. Very pop with a hint of country and that's your intention I'm sure. Fun song, good driving material. Like it a lot.

Thanks Mannynyagain! 
 
I do like the bass too.  I had to replay that bass part about three times to get it right. 
What about the song has a hint of country? I've lost all perspective on it.

Good, solid tune and a really great job on the performances and the mix.  Could be a matter of personal taste, but I would consider backing off the compression on the vocals just a bit.  

Thank you philz,
 
You know....  I wrestle with the vocals on every song. I do have redundant compressors that I could remove from the vocal chain. I should focus more on gain staging too.

Thanks berlymahn!

Thanks Jesse,
 
Robin and I seem to be a good blend I've heard.
She's a much much better singer than I, and she's the final line of defense for when I go off on a ridiculous, trite or just bad tangent as far as singing goes.  
 
She let's me know something really sucks by using the phrase "sounds like something Debbie Boone would sing" . Pretty much nips it in the bud right there!  I instantly hit delete and never go back to that idea!

Gino in the mid-80's was very different. More pop rock mix than the ballad/prog stuff he did earlier.

Dan

Nice one!   Poppy, yes, but still has a good rock edge.   I'm hearing something like a blend of .38 Special and 80's Heart.  

Thanks Steve.
