Very nice work. It certainly moves in a spirited manner. 

On the first listen right now. Everything sounds good. I'm on crappy speakers but it has punch and I can hear it all clearly...which is the goal....right?   I will turn on the other machine and listen again on headphones. 

 
Let me know if it till works, Herb.

Not really a tribute, more of a recounting.

outstanding... totally blew me away James... this is my new forum favorite... I love everything about this arrangement/production... the performances are truly inspired... great work...

To get that seal of approval from you means a lot, Frank. Thanks.

Thanks V.

 Funny how sometimes we get a block and then it all comes together later. This one was worth the wait.

 Great job. I don't need to comment on your mixing skills as I could probably take lessons from you on that. The song is well put together in all aspects.

 I am of the impatient sort and so by 3:00 I was starting to get figity, that's not just your tune but almost any tune. The thing you added a little after 2:00 made it carry well and kept it interesting.

Maybe a modulation at 3:00 on the last chorus might have helped?

yes... I did listen on cans yesterday. I was listening to see what the bottom end sounded like because on the computer speakers it was very hard to hear any bottom. 

In the cans there is a reasonable amount of very well defined bottom end. My personal pref would have been several DB more...... because I like a big fat bottom end...... on music....and not much of anything else. 

You did a very nice job. No major crits since it sounded very well done.  

I like the story how this sat for quite some time, unfinished and then the spark that gave the inspiration came and waaa laaa , it got finished in short order. I love it when things happen like that. I've had several songs like that recently. 

Yeah and he passed away this year too, so it's a nice tribute. Cool song.

Like Guitarhacker, its cool how what appeared like a cul de sac in terms of finishing the song was quickly rejuvenated in the space of a couple of minutes, I love when something unknown happens like that.

I'm familiar with this badboy (nice simple piano additions btw) and it certainly has direction and a theme now.

No mix crits.

Trademark yoyo guitars and love the vocal layerings.

Await for more,

Cian

Production sounds ace . I've listened 5 times now - probably the hookiest tune I've heard from you the thing that struck me is it felt longer than it actually is - can't really say why or if that's good or bad, just seemed longer than the 3:36 for some reason.

You can always shut it off early, right James?

Geez, what a blow out job on this, James.... you put this one right out of the park (deep center field at that).  I'm floored... it was that kinda' good great!  How great was it?  About 99.99% great.  So what was the missing .01% ?  

Think of these ideas as compliments rather than crits because both had to do with me wanting to hear MORE of something.  The guitar intro is classicly great, and I would have liked it to be just a tad more 'in your face.'  It sets up the whole tune... blast it and let 'em know you're coming.  The other thing is that when you're singing the T-e-o-oh part you've got this absolutely infectious little piano riff going on, and I'd love to see you ride that track up a bit more there.

I loved it.  This should be on the radio... I do hope you're running with it.  Congratz on a spectaular outting with this tune.

So how's the weather back on LawnGuyLand?
