Here's a song I wrote in 1981 (I think). I recently re-discovered it on a piece of paper I had stashed away, I kind of remembered how it went and what I didn't remember (melody), I just re-wrote.  This arrangement is probably quite different than I envisioned when I wrote it, but I really like how it turned out. I'm playing all electric guitar tracks and of course all vocals. RT's I used are below. All comments welcome.

Greg,
Man! That's got "early 80's pop love song" written all over it!
Everything about it. The guitars, the leads, your vocal. I got a picture of you looking a bit like Duran, Duran... HA!!
Great mix! Everything balanced perfectly. A very enjoyable listen...
Tasty playing from every angle.

Floyd, Thank you so much. I'm laughing because of the Duran, Duran comment... I probably had more of a .38 Special look going on back then, but one of our bass players had the haircut and bandanna's tied all over and bought a Warlock bass... Funny stuff.  I was in my twenty's and in a "happenin" band in the '80's... and man did I have FUN! ... The parts I remember anyway?  Thanks again, Greg

Greg, Nice playing and vocals. The mix sounds good. Interesting chord progression. The overall sound transports me back 30 yrs ago. You couldn't have gotten a recording this good back then without the big bucks. Nice job and thanks for posting. It was uplifting. Tom

Nice job....
I dig out the old songwriting notebooks from decades gone by and think I might find a salvageable gem hidden in there every now and then..... so far nada.... just old memories of what I was doing when I wrote it.
I enjoyed the vibe of the tune, and you have some really interesting chord changes in there.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Greg,
Great song and excellent arrangement. Isn't it great when you find gems like this in your old notebooks. I've rescued several songs from my old catalog from the 70s/80s. There like time capsules. Cool stuff.

Excellent,
nice guitar work
I really like the background vocals which you can just hear, I like that "subliminal" effect.
Must dig into my piles of song ideas to see what I have hidden.
I thoroughly enjoyed this song
Thanks for sharing
Alyn

Tom - Thanks. I have a few songs from the 80's where I came up with an interesting progression. I didn't have the big bucks back then (still don't)... I love BIAB! Herb - Thanks for the listen & taking time to comment. Guenter - Thank you very much. Dani - Thank you, I've always been a big fan of Huey Lewis too... We covered them allot in the 80's. SD - Thanks for the compliment. I have found other gems from the past, but this one was really a pleasant surprise. Alyn - Thanks allot. I did two tracks on my harmony vocals and then panned them pretty far L & R to get that spread out "subliminal" effect.  Josie - Thanks girl.

Hi Greg, First off, your production really rang out confident, clear and full in my headphones. What you've put together is up there in the top ten productions I've heard in the forum. Really, really good! Then I started paying attention to the melody, harmony, lyrics and performance. All are top notch! Wow! This genre was made for you. You sound so incredibly comfortable and natural performing this song. In a nutshell, I loved it  All the best, Noel

Nice recovery for sure. The deeper I dig into my old stuff the worse it gets! This is an "every thing works" production with cool guitar/vocals and a nice blend of RTs. Much enjoyed it.
