'Zero Sum World'.The idea for this song came from a remark I heard a character make in the excellent US TV series 'Treme'. More information available, plus lyrics, here.I used BIAB RealTracks: - RealTracks style _SJAZBL2 Smooth Jazz Ballad - Slide guitar solo 382 Background Blues Ev. I added strings, synth, some more rhythm guitar, and vocals. John

very nice song John! I really like your style. It reminds me of Don Henley in a roundabout way.

John, What a gorgeous production! Love your voice too. Good song. I like the way you've used the title and your unique perspective in the lyrics ring with emotional truth without sounding too contrived. Ironic you got this idea off a tv show because I think it would be a great track to pitch for film/tv. Well done! Josie

Cool! I agree with Josie - when I saw the title, I had doubts that you could pull the lyric off without it sounding artificial, but it worked for me!

Really nice production and mixing. Everything seems clear and in its own little space. Good stuff, for sure. It does seem a bit "hot" to me, but that's easily changed. Good use of the slide guitar(s) and overall fine performance.

Thanks everyone, for your kind comments. I'm particularly pleased with this one and glad you enjoyed it.
Ade, Kevin, thanks, you're right. I use TRacks and FabFilter ProL to get a loud and punchy mix, but I think I should just throttle this one back a tad.
John

John - Killer track. Great production and song. Loved the Wes Montgomery octaves towards the end. I'm selling my guitars. Regards, Bob

It’s all been said, super mix, vocal and chops.
All I can add is “Air play ready” for sure.
Great piece of music!
