Thank you Daryl for lending me your ears, glad you liked.  Have to admit the Cure is not something I have in my collection but I have heard a fair amount of their stuff.

I like it. It's not like your other stuff at all. Now that someone mentioned The Cure, I could hear them doing a song like this. It does sound a lot like some of their songs. Great job. Did you play the guitar or is it a sample?

Thank for having a listen Clint, yes a little different.  That is me playing Guinevere my lovely Telecaster custom hand made Spacey guitar, I also am playing an Ibanez S series as well.  Both through Guitar Rig 5.

I thought it was well mixed, had a very happy emotive quality to it, and did indeed remind me of The Cure writing some mellow surfing guitar jam. I'm grabbing my longboard now!
 
sorry that sounded dirty. Nice tune!

This is a nice, upbeat song that differs from others in your repertoire.  The drums aren't really over quantized, but all the notes seem to be at the same volume rather than randomized.  If you could give the downbeat an accent and make a few of the notes softer, so they sound like ghost notes, it would have a more natural feel.  Otherwise, I have nothing to offer this happy song.

it's a nice idea of a tune, wookie...
but it would be much stronger,
if you spent some more time finding more interesting drum fills..... more 'swing' if you will,
to break up the 'sameness' of each section....
 
also, the melody on the guitar is great....
but i don't want to hear it over and over, all the same...
 
it should change up, somehow, every time.
i want the 2nd verse to be all 3rds.....
 
then the 3rd verse to be all 5ths....
 
and then a section that is all harmony, but deconstructed...
 
etc, etc...
i think you should massage this one some more, cuz it's worth it.

Thanks for lending this your ears Tom, enjoy your long board
 
I hear you Lynn, surprisingly there are quite a few bits of hit randomisation in this but it does not come across so well, I hear a big difference between the wave and the MP3.  Thanks for spending some time with it.

Bat so kind, yeah I know spend some time with it I should and perhaps I will, been busy though with other things. Other peeps tunes blah blah blah. This was originally intended to have some lyrics but my lyricist said he could not come up with anything.

When I find some time I will revisit.

Sounds good Wookie! Way different than your last few tunes. Bat has it right though, this is worth continuing to refine and polish.
 
Regards,

I hear enough variation in guitar melody to keep it interesting for me. I think this is the first time I heard you play guitar and was a pleasant surprise. Really love that tone and how you kept it subtle

Thank you Dan maybe we will see.
 
Many thanks Grant, I have access to an excellent tool, that is a big part of the tone as I am sure you know.
