Interesting tune, nice vocal and very different arrangement, enjoyed in the main but like one other found the jumping around a little tiring.  Thanks for sharing.

eph221 I hear what you are saying about the the b string.

eph221, I thought that I was the only one with that perception ;)  Thanks for listening.
Wookie, I appreciate your comments and time - thank you.
Daryl, I thought that was what you meant.  I'll try that this weekend.

Very nice tune!  I left some remarks on SoundClound mainly about how cool I think the arrangement is and dig the changes.  The overall mix sounded classic to me as though I was listening to a vinyl record.  Were you going for that?  To me it is very pleasing to the ear and I feel younger listening to it.  I listened twice but may have to go back for another hit to get me through the work day.  Thanks.  Nice work, Lynn.

John, your kind words are very welcome.  As for the overall sound, I always try to make it as pleasant as possible, and Sonar 7 was a very sophisticated program.  But, Laura deserves some of the credit for the arrangement and the pleasant sound you hear.  As for me, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good ;)
 
p.s. I forgot to add that I was able to use the latest tools in the newest version of Platinum such as the console emulator and the CA-2A compressor.  I think they are terrific tools for that "vinyl" vibe.

I liked it.    I'm sure you could do some post-editing to clean things up, but as-is I think the song comes across nicely.    Cool song, good arrangement, and obviously captured well if it was circa SONAR 7! 
 

Thank you Steve!  I will be taking some of the suggestions I got earlier, but I know where to start now.  Much appreciated.

Lynn, sounds great. Especially liked the guitars. But everything sounded great to me.

Wow, what an interesting song.  I love it.  I particularly like the tempo changes  --- it is like that you are cruising along and then you hit a patch of rapids.  You really use the instrumentation (drums, synths, etc.) to build up the mood of the song in these "rapids".  The production sound good to me but I'm kind of a fan of less is more. 
 
Thanks for introducing us to Laura.  She does indeed have a good voice.

Tori Amos, in a Louisiana swamp?   :)
 
Very cool, nice two part arrangement. There is a lot of ear-candy mixing but it's old-school, as someone mentioned, could easily see the needle tracking in the vinyl on this one.
 
Your mix holds up pretty well, and the tune is a winner. 
 
The drums sound at times like they have a gate on them that closes pretty quick? Particularly the snare? If you get a time machine at any point, perhaps you could go back and see if you like it with more resonance on the drums. But, I think the way you have it supports the "old school" feel, so there you go.
 
noice!

Hi Lynn,
 
Very interesting stuff going on here .
You got the whole swap Blues type of acoustic guitars thing going and then wham some heavy Moog style sounds come in later on during the songs arrangement ..
 
Yeah ,The Singer is very easy on the ears and I like her emotions while she sings ...
 
Just Thinking out loud ...
I think a Mark Knopfler neck pu w middle pu clean type of  Strat sound would sound great on this .
 
For The record ...Yes I did like your song
 
all the best,
 
Kenny
