Brilliant song, catchy, very clever instrumentation-arrangements; nice little surprises going on that makes the song intriguing and irresistible = Genius
 
Minor Criticisms: Not much really, may be give the harmony vocals a tad more presence and balanced L/R.  That dirty piano? Ah I guess its okay, a little dirt won't hurt anyone
 
 
 


Thanks a lot Songcraft - I really appreciate it.
I tried cleaning the piano but ran out of Mr Sheen.

Very nice Daryl and the current Mrs Daryl, this just has you stamped all over it, quirky lyrics cool production.  Yeah perhaps a little bit more of the current Mrs Daryl would be nice but all in all worthy of


Thanks a lot Wookie.
Yes I will be tweaking the mix with more BV.

Hi guys!! Just bought/downloaded Music Creator 7 a couple of days ago :).. And, so I have this question... I hear popping noises every time an instrument hits a note or whenever I play an instrument or the loop.. I would hear snapping or popping sounds for every note hit... Is that normal? Will I hear that when I finally make a song?? Just curious... It's been irritating haha. I keep thinking maybe I should've invested on Fruit loops 11 T.T

Sweet ear candy. Lovely, open production. Vocal sounds effortless. Very nice overall. I think you are using some pitch correction, and I think you should STOP. Otherwise, beautiful.

This is exactly what I would expect from the two of you.  Pure pop genius.  As always, you give us a clever arrangement centered around thoughtful lyrics.  Your voices blend together so well.  I'm waiting for the next gem.





wow, Lynn - genius?
Not sure about that but thanks all the same - and it means a lot coming from you mate - you know I'm a fan.

what a fun tune!
dig the open arrangement...
i'm not a big POP style fan,
but this is well done.
i think the background vox is just right in the mix,
but i think that having a 2nd harmony,
in a few spots,
would vary the vocal line enough so that the octave harmonies
dont' get too predictable, as they are now.
a little hot on the mastering...
but overall a great mix.


Thanks Batsbrew. I appreciate your comments.

Sounds great as always, makes me think of Harry Nilson. I think the background vocal is just right  and you should add another harmony in spots as Bat said above. I enjoyed the listen.


Thanks Teego. I will have a play with some extra harmonies.

Staying in the pocket of your British invasion/fun tunes to listen to.  I could pick you out of a crowd, musically, and I think that is a good thing.  At first I wondered where you would go with this sound but song after song you make it enjoyable.  Very nice direction musically.  Your lyrics are always good too.  I look forward to your songs, Mr. and current Mrs..
