This is a tasteful, melodic song that flows just like a river. The vocal and lyrics are quite good. I liked the synth patch in the background which gives the song a somewhat mournful vibe. The video is well matched to the lyrics though I thought that the lyrics superimposed weren't entirely necessary. Still, I liked everything well enough that I'll go back and listen a time or two. BTW, I have a video called "Rivers Of The Sky" that you might find interesting. I just thought it was ironic.

All the best,
Lynn

Hey Lynn,
 
Thanks for the great review - much appreciated.
 
Lynn, I just listened to your song/video "Rivers of The Sky" - it's very well-done and very moving.

It's hypnotic melodic structure is quite refreshing

I liked having the lyrics posted, lyrics are important.  I could understand these as sang which I always appreciate.  I alway figure if the words are worth singing, they're worth people being able to understand them.

This is nice tune.  The mix is different... but I like it.

Still, I liked everything well enough that I'll go back and listen a time or two.

I like this a lot. Very Beatle'esque with some Floyd mixed in. Everything sounds great.

Very nice!

Allan, sounds good.  Maybe a little bass shy and drums are pretty far back.  I like the arrangement. I think there may be some slight distortion on chorus vocals (maybe too hot?).

Thanks for all of the kind comments - this song seems to have struck a chord with other listeners (not on this forum), too.  Makes my day...

...and so this guy writes and records this song, see...

I really like the interplay of bass and guitar introduced during the second verse.

A very unusual composition. Seems to hit a variety of styles all at once, with a later Beatles musical vibe being mixed with a sort of King Crimson/Alan Parsons like vocal styling.

Very cool

Hey thanks - very heady praise!  (It's funny - I was just listening to "Court of The Crimson King" then I see your post   )

I like the song and can definitely hear the Beatles thing mentioned earlier. I thought the synthy string sound that comes in from time to time (panned hard left) was a little overpowering but other than that small comment it sounds pretty good to me.

Very nice Allan.  This song does have a very McCartney-esque sound to it (that is a complement).  The vocals and harmonies are super.
The mix sound good also. 
Nicely done!
