Fantastic track Rob. Love how you've mixed the acoustics, and the vocals sitting back slightly - perfect classic '70's rock. Nice harmony solo and fills too, like those.

There is one thing i recognized in all the material you posted here over the years that really stands out i.m.o.:
As complex as (most of) your songs are, they never come across "constructed". They always groove, no matter how many changes you build in. Excellent!
 
 

Great song! You have a really cool voice!

I love this. Great job.

I like this one a lot. Definite classic rock feel, with a dash of prog thrown over the top. Great mix as well.

thanks a lot dan,
you seem to get where i'm coming from with the styles,
i guess it's a dna thing.
LOL

I love this. It's smart that you said *offer our sanity* rather than *sobriety*. :D:D

alright eph, i'm glad i got one you really like, and yes, offer our sanity, was the order of the day.

Not sure if I remember this one from before, but it was so very enjoyable either way. I'm not sure about the waltz reference as opposed to a general 4/4 triplet feel, but really, who cares! It's completely up to the typically high Bats standards. Love those lines intertwined with and after "following lights".

hey steve! it's definitely a waltz, standard 3/4 time, but with that 6/8 hat thing going......
i wasn't sure about those 'call and response' parts at first,
but they grew on me.

Everytime I hear your music I always wonder if this is some classic song from rock's glory days that I somehow missed. To say that this is "market ready" is such an understatement -- but I fear there might not be much (youth) market in today's autotuned world for work of this superb quality.  Your recordings are at the apex of rock oriented material on this forum. Absolutely amazing  !!

hey allan! 
catchwords:
autotune
market ready
rock oriented
 
these things are all items i avoid like the plague.
 
heheh
hey, if it's rock, it's rock, i don't know if i could right a country tune and orient it towards a certain market (rock),
but actually, i write these things for myself, 
and some people actually enjoy them!
so, i feel like i'm ahead of the game.
 
i'll have my rock-oriented new version of 'tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree' coming out next season,
it has fuzz,
and a big drum set recorded in stairwell,
it's already market approved,
and the entire vocal will be pieced together one note at a time, 
so we wont have to use the autotunes.
 
 

 

Wow, this is a frickin beauty, Rob... a real gem.  Kudos, man.

where's it gone Bats? I came for a listen and it ain't there....

I think he was worried someone would steal it. :)
