Hey Bob, this is really cool my friend.

I don't know why though, but I can really envisage this turning into a massive power ballad about half way through. I mean, throwing everything in your metal armoury at it
 
In any case, it's great to here you adding another string to your very talented bow.
 
 

(Strings) Transition at 00:53 is to die for and hooks me onward!  Great move!

Extremely melodic psychedelia; I'm sure this is a fav for many of us and commands are wider pop audience.

Lyrics and vocals are sensational as usual ... they take my breath away.


The song is so magical in fact, that I listened twice with utmost joy!  'Not sure I'd change a thing, honestly.

Bob, sounds great. Really enjoyed the listen.

This was nice a difference to hear this from you Bob with that Bob hallmark mix.

I do agree with the others regards it tendency to feel slightly repetitious, some very sound advice is presented above.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Bob, you sure stay busy, don't you?  This production is top notch, all the way.  The lyrics are thought provoking, for sure.  Your vocal is strong and has enough weight to carry the show.  I think your music site is terrific, btw.  I may try something like that in the future.  Keep up the good work, my friend!

The sound of the vocal track is A+. Sounds so much like Ursa Major did their vocal tracks, and you are probably saying Ursa who? Well...that is a huge compliment. Dick Wagnor went on to play guitar for Alice Cooper, but if you have never heard the Ursa Major album back in about 1970, give it a listen.
 
The only thing the song needs as stated in another post is the solo acoustic bridge. Cat Stevens was a super pro at writing bridges. One of the hardest things to do, but make a change up with a bridge and you will have a hit. I really enjoyed it! Great job.

This is a really nice song Bob. Carries a lot of feeling.

Bob, you just continue to put out some of the best played, sang and produced music on this forum. This is EXCELLENT!!!

 Bob,

 I really enjoyed listening to this. You do a very good job at ballads. I especially liked the vocals with background harmonies panned perfectly.The drums fit well with what you have done. Backing off the compression in the buss fits well.The guitar sounds almost like a 12 string. Is it? Whatever it is I like that combination. 

 Very clear and tight. Always enjoy anything you post here! I could hear an instrumental fade out in the ending instead of an abrupt end, but that's me. Nothing really wrong with this at all.

Hi, Daryl,
 
Thanks so much for giving this a listen and for your very kind words of encouragement!  I'm considering your good idea about a short acoustic lead bridge to break things up a little.
 
I really appreciate your comment about my stuff improving, because you recordings always sounds great.  I seriously believe that if someone hangs around this forum long enough, and actually listens to and absorbs all of the excellent input, observations, advice, suggestions and ideas from the other members, their writing, recording and production skills will definitely improve greatly.
 
Thanks again, Daryl, and have a great weekend!
Bob

Hey Paulo,
 
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate you checking it out and your very good comments and observations!
 
LOL, Yep, after I played the original very simple, acoustic/single vocal preamp test for my wife the first time, she said she woke up singing it the next day, so I took that as a good sign about the melody hook being memorable and decided to expand on it.  I'm planning to break things up a bit with a short acoustic bridge, as a few people suggested.  Hopefully that will add a bit more variety to it.
 
Thanks again, Paul for all your input and support on my song posts, greatly appreciated!
