The vocals are not too up front for me. It's kind of an Elvis Presley mix and reminds me of an Elvis Presley song as a matter of fact. With that type of song, the vocals can be really up front. I suppose you can pull it back a tad if you wanted to, but you don't have to. I really like this song by the way.
Thanks a bunch, David, I recorded this back in February. Glad you like it ... puts a smile in my face! Your opinions and comments mean a lot to us. If I get "unlazy", I may go back and pull the vocal down just a tad. Thanks again! Best to you. Alan & Di

Loved the mix. Your vocal is setting right where it should. Loved the vocal. I also got the Elvis feel to the tune. Backtrack and sax were very cool... Hi Scott, Thanks for the kind words. So glad you enjoyed it. I debated on the sax ... just a turnaround or a full verse on the instrumental break. I went with the turnaround mostly due to the length of the song. Thanks for the great input! Alan & Di

Good song, and mix is perfect for these (63 year old :P) ears.
I like your voice, it has a lot of personality if that makes any sense? Good tone and control, nice vibrato.
Thanks so much, Dave! Although I played lead guitar in a country band for about 50 years, my voice is more suited to pop, crooning and easy listening. Glad you enjoyed it! Alan & Di

Alan,
As others have mentioned... this is one of your "best ever" vocals - well sung and well recorded. (I thought it could be pulled back just a little).
Very nice arrangement. Really like the use of the sax here...
A very enjoyable listen.
Best to you both...
fj Thanks, Floyd. Vocals are always a challenge for me. Glad this one turned out halfway decent. I spent a little time on the arrangement, more than anything else. It's slightly different from the original but I like this version better. Best to you, Alan & Di

What a beautiful melancholy song, lovely singing and perfect backing track. Could be an excellent theme song for a movie. Reminds me somehow of Nat King Cole.
Janne Hi Janne, Thank you so much! I'm delighted you enjoyed the song. Movie theme? That would work! And a Nat King Cole reference - I like it! Thanks again! Alan & Di

Great write, Al
my goodness, seems like you're channeling Ray Price here
it has that great classic sound
very nice use of the backing tracks
good vocal, good melody
enjoyed it,
Kenny Hi Amigo! Love the Ray price suggestion. He's my all-time favorite singer in any genre. That's quite a nice thing for you to say. After having read your comment,m I went to YouTube and listened to about 12 or 13 of his songs. As far as style, I see some similarities to the stuff he did that Kris Kristoferson wrote ("For The Good Times" and "I Won't Mention It Again" in particular.) I'm flattered ... thank you! His "Danny Boy:" album had a lot if that type of music on it. My all-time favorite album of huis is "Night Life". I used to sit around and listen to it for hours - still know the lyric to almost every song on it! Thanks again. Alan

Hello, Alan
Very beautiful song!
Your vocal is perfectly fitted to this song.
I like that the song starts from Sub-dominant instead of Tonic.
And I also like the chord progression at "Thought everything was perfect".
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi HI Shigeki, Thank you very much for those very kind words! I appreciate that very much. The chord progression you mentioned at "Thought everything was perfect" is one of my favorites. I have to be careful I don't overuse it. The song is in the key of Bb. That progression is Adim to GM. Just that simple. But to me, it has a nice texture for the progression. Glad you liked it! Wishing you the very best. ALan & Di
