John, thanks again.  You're right, it's always good to be a little higher ;)  I think the link is OK, now.

Hi Lynn,
Finally I could hear this tune . Previously the link was not tip top..
It seems that you did work on this tune and according to me you did well.
The song takes me by the hand for a kind of voyage in the soundscapes of a land which lies somewhere between British productions and pure american blues.
The intro reminds something of Pink Floyd then the voice comes ,firm and clear.
Don't know what to think about the strings ,they don't bother me though I am not completely fan..
Great job.
Cheers.
Olivier

Super song Lynn. Hats off, your writing is getting stronger and stronger, and the arrangement/production is bang on the money. A listening treat through headphones.

Olivier, it's a pleasure hearing these words from you.  You caught the gist of the song very well.
 
James, thanks for your kind words.  I'm glad I checked the mix on my AKG's.

I really liked this song and production. Love your voice. Everything is placed nicely and your low to high end sound great on my system.

Really nice. You have some wonderful chord changes in there (which I'm going to steal  ) I like the minor key sound throughout which fits the lyrics very well.

Yep very cool tune! I like how you are stretching yourself as a songwriter! I must have listened to the newer mix. Ebow is way cool and the vocals are great, too. Vocally, a bit of Colin Hay, which to my mind is really quite good territory! you have a good thing going here.
 
As for the drums, I don't think it's the drums, but that little guitar or organ part up top - it's imitating a European police siren - "daa-dooooo   daa-doooo"  forgive my stupid rendition! I think that's coming in ahead of the main beat sometimes.   Check :50  area?
 
 
very nice job hombre

Nice production. I wish I could get that "wide sound" in my own productions. Drums didn't bother me.


Have you seen Craig Anderton's latest tip of the week #132? It's a great track widening tip.

Jimmy, thanks for stopping by and commenting.  Hopefully, I'm growing.
 
Bjorn, I'm happy to hear from you.  That chord progression actually started with the guitar in the right channel that's playing intervals.
 
Tom, thanks for your kind words.  That part you are referring to is, I believe, a strange, plucked sample from Rapture Pro, or it's the arpeggiated djembe sample from Expand!2.  I heard it, but decided to leave it as is.  I was just trying to stay away from my usual cookie cutter production ;)
 
Steve, that's a great tip that can help all of us.  Thanks for sharing.

Lynn,
 
Your re-mix sounds much better.   Vocals are more upfront and everything is very well balanced.   Sounds good through headphones too:)   Great work.
