Interesting and great playing and singing.  I agree about the intro being a little abrupt.  Perhaps that's because I listened to the first few measures of the first mix before I realized you had a new mix up too.  Anyway, nice job! 

It's good to hear from you, Janet.  Thanks for you words about both of my songs.

Lynn,
 
Quite a difference between the original version and current version.  Sounds good, good beat and instrumentation, ups and downs in the arrangement.   I agree with Timbo on the Cuts Like a Knife line, a bit cliche in an otherwise very original lyric.  It is a really good song though.  Since you have mentioned oysters and sponges, watching that guest spot of David Hasselhoff on Spongebob Squarepants had to be as painful as getting cut with a knife, no? 
 
Good one.

Regards

Really cool, different tune.  Somehow it doesn't feel as "full sounding" as most of your stuff but it could just be me at this moment.   The more I listen, though, the more I like it.

good tune and sounds. well done song

Markno999, thanks for having a listen and your comments.  After consideration of your comment and Tim's, I decided to change that line in the chorus to "sometimes the words from you go through me like a knife".  It's still a bit of a cliche, but it doesn't echo the Bryan Adams line, and it conveys the sentiment that I want to convey which is integral to the song.  But, now you've done it; you have now become a coproducer of this tune.  Thank you.

Warren, thanks for stopping by.  I should have said that this version has 25% fewer calories.  Good ears.

Makke, thanks for joining us.  Keep up the good work on you own tunes, and let's stay in touch.

One of the really nice things about becoming involved in this forum, I am now listening to things that aren't really my bag and enjoying them... I really enjoyed this Lynn... I love the Latin feel to it.  

I haven't heard the original but I found the Horns really cool.

The Vocal puts me in mind of Chris Rea..... No bad thing :-) 

Hey Paul, thanks for stopping by and the nice comments.  I haven't heard Chris Rea, yet, but I'm heading to Google right now.

Enjoy....

Road to Hell is pretty much his most famous album.
