Let me take you away

Let me take you away

Sitting by the fire watching sparks drift away.
Your face half lite by the glow.
Every now and then I catch a glimpse of your eyes.
I'm fallen for you baby and you don't know.

Bridge

Let me take you away from your wild and wicked ways.
Please turn back my way and you'll see.

Fill

The flames turn to coals and the desert makes no sound.
The mist forms a carpet on the ground.
You slowly move away as you climb aboard the bus,
I'm fallen for you baby and you don't know.

Bridge

Let me take you away from your wild and wicked ways.
Please turn back my way and you'll see.
The words I try to find though I don't seem so inclined.
Don't go away stay with me.
Oh don't go away stay with me.

Really nice. This is a new favorite for me. Great vocals and harmonies and I love the chord progression. Enjoyed this from start to finish.

Thank you Charlie.
Glad you liked it.

Hi Rob,

I enjoyed it. What stood out to me most was how well put together the mix is. It has a great deal of clarity. My impression is that it must have taken a bit of time to get this coming together. It sounds like you're enjoying your new Sonar.

All the best,
Noel

Hi rob. Always love your productions and this is no exception. Like Noel says your mixes are always so clear. Good job.

Rob, I like the different structure in this one. That first chord in the bridge is completely unexpected but on repeat listens it works. Nice editing on the fiddle and steel break. Nicely done. Tom

Nice production and mix on that, Rob. One of your best - each instrument choice supporting your vocals.

A haunting story line in your lyric... intriguing.

A good listen.

Another new one, another nice one!! Structure is a bit unusual but it is very easy to listen to. Vocals are sweet. Nice track! Take care. Greg

We agree with Tom!

Thanks Noel.
Still getting the hang of Sonar.
Rob

Thank you Josie.
If you heard my music from the early eighties you would know why
I work so hard on the clarity. LOL
Rob

Thanks Tommy.You always pickup on the finest of details.
Rob

J&B

Thank you Floyd.

Rob,
Really nice production. The forum folks are right, the mix and the harmonies are excellent. Nice work.
SD

Many thanks for your comment Greg.
Rob

Thanks for listening you guys.

Rob

Your music sounds effortless, and the mixes are completely transparent.

That's quite a feat!

But... there's something about it that sounds like a BiaB backing track, and I'll be darned if I can put my finger on it. The more I listen, the more details I can hear that you've woven into the mix- vocal harmony, various instruments slipping in and out, volume and style changes on the drum, and so on.

Really, an excellent job.

I'm going to guess that it's the drums. Maybe it's the level in the mix, the compression, or just a lack of variety. But they're the only thing in the mix that doesn't convince that I'm listening to a real band.

I hope that made some kind of sense...

Anyway, nicely done.

Hello J&B.
Hope all is well with you two.
Thanks for your comment.
Rob.

Hey SD.
Thanks for listening.
Rob

Hello David.
I think the drums may have too much compression.
Ive just started using Sonar again after about eight years.
Still getting used to it.
Thanks for your in-depth comments.
Rob

+1 the clarity of mix etc. and i'll add nice use of vibrato in your vocals on the ends of various phrases throughout. -regards, Patrick

Hi Patrick.
Thank you for your interest and comments.
Rob.

Rob,

How do you keep turning out such wonderful, clear songs??

Good imagery in the words,
Enjoyed that.

Alyn

Hey Gibson.
Not near as good as fish and chips.
Thanks for your comments.
Rob

thank you but YOUR songs are consistently good LOL

Alyn

Your a good man Alyn

Rob,

I've enjoyed listening to all your songs. I think this one is the most traditional sounding country song you've done. One suggestion, don't suppress your Australian accent so much; I love when the accent is part of the feel of the song.

You noticed my lack of accent
Always appreciate your comments Jim.
Many thanks for your support.
Rob
