Danny - thanks for the listen I'm glad you enjoyed it.
 The drum sound was genuinely a choice - I was trying to make the whole rhythm section including tambourines and hand claps sound like it was all recorded at the same time with just a couple of mics. I ended up using 3 mics and very little compression - mainly eq.

Beags - thanks me old china

Polarbear - thank you kind sir. I will be calling Hugh Grant first thing on Monday morning :) Wouldn't it be nice.

Scottytunes - thanks. I was going for the Buddy Holly pizz vibe. Loves me some Buddy.

RusW - not sure we'd be able to tour together - we like different coloured M&Ms and I'm not sure hospitality could cope

Jan - wow thanks mate. I'm really glad you liked it :)

Bit - thanks a lot. 45 years ago I wasn't quite born but sixties stuff is definitely my thing - love it.

Really like this Daryl. Well done.
Very melodic catchy tune.
Love the sparseness in the verse.

Ah ok. Well, everything sounded good to me Daryl. :) I just thought the crashes seemed to swell in a bit instead of crash. You know, like when a crash hits, it sort of hits instantly....where your crashes seemed to almost sort of fade in? It's definitely a cool sound...probably the mic position as I've sort of gotten something like this before when mic'ing my cymbals.
 
Listening to it again...if it had a direct crash, it probably wouldn't work. I'm sort of used to that fade-in thing now. LOL! See what happens when you deliver a cool song....everything ends up being acceptable. :) Really love the vocals on this...had to mention it again. :)
