This is a song about the feeling when you fall in love. There are a lot of live overdubs, but the rhythm section is BB. The BB violin and mandolin didn't make it through the mix, there was a lot of modification in the arrangement and editing in the length. The solo guitar is from RB, chosen lick by lick from the multiriff option. The RB memo is under the BB memo.

I like it! Reminded me of the British invasion back in my day. I was a huge Beach Boys fan when that all happened and I really enjoyed the change back then.
You are right about feeling the pain of a lost love. Yeah, I think everyone has experienced that!

I wonder if "retro" songs have a future, it's all I seem to be able to write.

Don't sweat it. With all of the music today available in so many outlets folks can pick and choose what decade of what genre or subgenre they choose and find plenty to fill it. It doesn't take that much searching to find it. And I think it's cool to add to those catalogs. And that you have done that very well IMO.

Sooooo....what this reminds me of is simply an excellent and well put together rock ballad.

We enjoyed it!

I always enjoy your songs Will, and this is no exception!! It has a great energy and enthusiasm. Arrangement is nice, and your vocals continue to improve-really like the octave effect with the double tracking. I see you're still digging your new axe. Nicely done!! Take care. Greg

Will,

I really like the sound of this arrangement and its production. Your singing is also full of confidence and really well suited to the genre. This is definitely my favourite of your compositions so far.

Regards,
Noel

Will, Your sound has taken a leap forward with the arranging and production of this one. I liked it a lot. I would have made the drums a lot louder. Nice job. Tom

I had to remix, because there was a wrong guitar chord at the beginning. I turned up the drums while I was at it.

I recorded the vocals on this one directly through my Autotune, a Tascam TA-1VP Antares. I highly recommend it
