"Twilight Rain", a soft spacey rock tune
https://soundcloud.com/bats-brew/twilight-rain

a true story from childhood....
the arrangement is a bit jazzy, with clean electric guitar and acoustic guitar blended,
no drums, it's almost like a spacey folk tune.

This is one of your better songs, in a long list of many.  I know I've said this before, but your voice has that Jon Anderson quality, and the arrangement reminds me so much of Yes.  Yet, there are differences.  You write better lyrics that not only have personal meaning to you, but could work for many others.  The overall production screams QUALITY!  Thanks for sharing and being prolific.

I swear I was going to mention Yes and Jon Anderson BEFORE I saw Lynn's post!
 
I love this track, and it totally reminds me of Yes, which is quite an accomplishment considering their immense creativity and virtuosity.  I can't find a single thing to nitipick about it.  Fantastic!

Yes!! and Mr. Anderson!! This is just another example of your creative abilities not only instrumentally but vocally, as well. Nothing wrong on this one to critique. Sounds awesome, as usual. Great Song!!
 
Peace and Blessings, John

I love this one. Not sure what bass you used but it pins the whole thing down really well here.You have the harmony down. I like the nice clean sound you got with the guitars. I would listen to this again.

Whew, tremendous tune here bats. Totally loved everything...wouldn't change anything from what you delivered here.
 
Subjective for your head: I would have liked the lead vocals a little louder or the guitars a little lower. Everything was perfectly audible at all times, don't get me wrong. I just felt the voices were a bit underneath the guitars. Thank God the guitars sounded so great. LOL! Nothing worse than when someone pushes a guitar sound a bit in front of the vocals only to have it degrade the performance. That wasn't the case here. :)
 
One other thing...totally loved the guitar solo and sound. However, I would have REALLY loved to have heard you solo on acoustic in that section. Use a sound sort of like what Eddie got on Spanish Fly? That would have worked and sounded so cool there. But again, what you played was incredible and everything as it is was spot on. Just telling you what *I* may have tried if it was my tune. Vocals were insanity. All you good singers from Canada have the ability to pop out a nut or something to sing so high! I'm jealous! Hahahaha! Great job man...inspiring and very pro sounding from start to finish. Effects/atmosphere stuff was spot on too. Really enjoyed this.

You know I love this one off your CD.  I have this one and "Batsblues" from that CD on my MP3.  Great stuff, buddy!
