I should take that back.  Victor Borgia had a decent following.  :D:D

I'm late to the party again, but I've been listening to this several times during this month because it's one of my favorite new songs.  For me, the lyrics are the star of this tune, though your voice bring out the meaning of the words quite well.  I wish that I'd written it myself.  Conclusion: you oughta be in pictures ;)
 




Thanks Lynn - it wouldn't have been a party unless you turned up mate :)
I really appreciate it

Excellent number.  You have put into lyrics what I think a lot of us are feeling.  I agree with some of the comments above --- you have melded cheerful melody and instrumentation with disconcerting lyrics. It all sounds great.
 
Well done!!!

Listen to this a second time since you apparently didn't like my reply or whatever reason had no response, If you don't like me then fine, or respect me, whatever...........
 
I think the Bass needs more power to it in spots, some THUMP BOOM, not on the whole song, just on the highlights of the bass, I mean if your going to highlight a NOTE you've gotta make it have some expression man, you know what I mean I suspect, put it IN YOUR FACE in those places, and also this needs a little more treble because it lacks clarity. 
 
A smart person mixes down their tunes and listens to them without a player using EQ's and such things, simply RAW, but sometimes you can be TOO Flat. That is why you listen to your mixdowns without the extra's. So many times people post things on here and they think they sound great but they mix them down and what they are playing them on are players that have preset or they forgot they were using an Equalizer to listen to their music. Just saying. Or a thought that is. 
 
I'm listening to this on Studio Monitoring speakers. I absolutely LOVE THE TUNE, and I am just telling you how I hear it, thanks for sharing the listen. Enjoyed listening to this very much. 
 
Just my thoughts on the tune, I hope you find it helpful, not sure why you replied to everyone but me, probably busy perhaps, or maybe you just don't like me. Either way, I am always 100% HONEST with what I have to say, I'm no pro, no expert, but then again I love hearing music and what I hear should mean a lot as a listener to those who try and produce ya know. 
 
This song is really great!!! In my opinion. Just need what I mentioned above. 
 
Rock on!!!


Thanks again mate

Daryl1968, Your tune sounds waaaay much better than this one, but it makes me think of this tune :

At it's time it was a very popular tune, at least for me growing up hearing it. And this one :

Daryl, this is way cool. This is so cleverly written. All your playing is great and the mix seems perfect to my ears. I really love this one.


Thanks so much Mark. I really appreciate it

Oh no, don't say the c-word.  (clever).  It's the death-knell of pop music.  NOBODY likes clever music.  Just sayin.  *funny is always better than clever..* <sondheim>
 


Agreed. You can definitely be too clever for your own good. Ha
