This was one of favorite songs...
The intro is not right on this yet... need to shorten it and change the piano...
Hi Paul,
I'm listening as I'm typing. Wow! You've totally hooked me with the really big sound you've managed to produce. When I close my eyes, I can see you singing in my mind. You are a terrific performer. On every level I can think of, this song is A+++ from me.
Regards,
Noel
Paul,
just about everything on this works
- the octave apart piano parts in the intro
- the chug chug chug rthm gtr
- the little piano hook
etc
The lyrics are terrific and you put them across with great conviction and energy.
And a proper big ending this time too!
The only things I would have some reservations about are:
- the gtr solo: the sound and level are great, but to my ears anyway, parts of the solo (particularly the opening bars) are not a good fit for the song.
- I’m not sure that the key change is really required – this is such a strong piece anyway it doesn’t really need it.
Also, you’re coming in a tiny bit long for a pop song, at 4:40.
My suggestion would be to go round only once in the intro.
But Paul, this is absolutely brilliant.
Well done,
Marc
