Great stuff. Chorus was perhaps simplistic but effective in many ways. Loved the verse.

thanks kakku! for listening and commenting...
 
"Chorus was perhaps simplistic"..........!!
 
bing bing bing, you are the winner!
that was the goal...
 
there is so much on the album that is NOT simplistic, that this had to be.
 
taken in the whole, this sits perfectly in the middle of a lot going on.
 
and as it is, the music for "Stay" is still pretty complicated,
i'm trying to have at least 3 melody lines going at once,
which was tricky to make happen and groove at the same time,
a lot of folks just don't pick up on that,
but as long as they can shake their @ss to it, it's good.

This is awesome. Love the playing, recording and lyrics. Very polished. I don't know if it turns you off to hear "comparisons" when it is clearly your music, but I can't help but comment that there is some kind of Steely Dan meets David Crosby mood in there - no specific songs but more the voicings on both the vocals and chords.
It's really, really good.

Nice drifty mood Bats, I like that almost hip-hop beat and the bass groove. A hint of Yes, a little Steely Dan as Manny mentioned. Lush guitar tones throughout, quite a deceptively detailed mix, I imagine a lot of work to get it sounding as nice as this.
