https://soundcloud.com/torrey-bliss/find-my-way-back-homeSometime back I did an instrumental I called "Sedona Sunrise". I took the melody from that song and added lyrics to produce this song about realizing we are headed the wrong direction and turning around. Hope someone likes it. Thanks for listening! Torrey

It's hard not to reply with a phrase that doesn't start with 'Wow!'
Great quality, professionalism, style, masterful songwriting and the list goes on and on.
The feel is just so stylish, the funky style complemented with smooth lyrical delivery expands the horizons throughout this song.
The subtle key change provides another dimension again.
Excellent and Quality are words that easily come to mind from the start to the end.
Beautiful and mellow bass-driven soul, perfect for my taste
Excellent vocals and mix, nice lyrics. Really enjoyable wakeup song for a Sunday morning.
Janne
Yeah! Such a great sound, pure class.
Loved your vocals and that melodic guitar solo.
Really good, Torrey, enjoyed the listen!
Torrey, great job on this well sung, and well constructed song. I love the little walk downs on the guitar solo and then the modulation. Handled extremely well. Some great guitar work too. Loved it all. Pro all the way, Tom
Loved this Torrey. Another super vocal and backtrack. Loved the bass runs in the song. Gave it such a neat feel. Guitar was absolutely excellent. Very cool indeed
Torrey,
This was classy as an instrumental - the addition of your soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics adds another layer. Did you record the guitar solo again? - its so fine here.
Very, very good!
Robert
Torrey,
This is great - love the song. The production, vocals and arrangement are all excellent. Track selection is very cool, especially the guitar.
Bob
Thanks VideoTrack for all those gracious kind words about the song! I certainly do appreciate it! T
Torrey
Very nice smooth jazz. Everything works perfectly together
SD
Cool man!
Another very Steely Dan composition! I love these!
Great vox and backing harmonies.
Hi Torrey. This is very smooth. Great production and most enjoyable. Rob

I could not say this any better! Excellent song, backing tracks and production. About that guitar of yours, all I can say is WOW. Great chops and tone!
If I heard this at a CD store I would have bought it on the spot.
This is a keeper.
Torrey
Smooth classy sound. Pretty melody lush production and a wonderful melodic guitar part.
Peter
Hi Torrey
Absolutely first class!
Very sophisticated sound and so easy to listen to.
Cheers.
Thanks for listening and commenting Janne! I appreciate it! T
Janice mentioned Steely Dan from the get go. Yeah!
Whether your choice or a style that is a GREAT choice of RTs. Your “bands” always sound so well honed for the groove.
Throw the fine write and guitar/vocal performances in and you have a pro sounding production -certainly not unusual for you! It sounds superb on our sound system.
Kudos

Thanks Dave! I always appreciate and highly value your comments! T
You absolutely nailed this, Torrey! It is captivating right from the first few beats, and just continues to impress from thereon out. I'm getting a strong 80's vibe with this one. It reminds me of some stuff by Phil Collins. Great beat, wonderfully catchy, and a strong vocal performance - not a thing I'd change here!
Great work, and thanks for sharing
Right out of the gate this song has such a lovely vibe to it. This song reminds me ever so slightly of Savage Garden a little bit, if they sang in a lower register. Great job on this one.
Torrey,
This is EXQUISITE!
A good Pop-Jazz write. The lyric falls on the ear so well. Beautiful melody.
The overall sound is SO cool. You do this style so well - showing "a different side" of BIAB. Nice added guitar work, too.
Excellent vocal. Nice mix!
Everything about this a delight.
floyd
Yep.... good stuff.
It's been a while since I worked on any jazz for myself.... might have to indulge the muse....
nice playing too.
Thanks Tom for listening and commenting! Your input is valuable to me! T
Thanks for taking the time to listen Scott! I appreciate it! T
Torrey,
This is my favorite work of yours, so far.
Keep them coming!
Thanks so much Robert! I had to slow this one down considerably to make the vocal/lyrics work, so I had to re-record all the guitar parts. The original was recorded with acoustic guitar as this one was with a hollow body electric! Thanks, T
Thanks for the kind words Bob! I appreciate it! T
Thanks SpaceDog! Appreciate the comments! T
Thanks for listening and commenting Rob! I appreciate it! T
That's an understatement - that was super!
Hello, Torrey
Jazz Funk Breezy Bass is very impressed and comfortable.
As Robert said, the addition of your soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics adds another layer.
Your lead guitar is really nice as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Torrey,
This is spectacular!
Your ability to take BIAB into places that few of us seem to think about is the stuff that envy is made from! This is such an impressive musical creation and realisation. I sat here mesmerised by the music, the arrangement, the production and your talent.
Such a really fine listen!
All the best,
Noel
Thanks Shigeki! I appreciate it! T
hi torrey great job on this top notch thanks for sharing eric
Thanks Josie! I really appreciate you taking time to listen and comment! T
Thanks for those kind words Dani! I don’t feel I deserve them but thanks anyway! T
It's a fabulous composition with a terrific set of vocal performances.
No nits to pick except that the vocal processing you've used has emphasised some sibilant sounds and a few breath/wet pops. It could be the compressor &/or reverb.
Your guitar playing is SPOT ON stylistically - it really does bring on the Skunk Baxter era Steely Dan thing.
Congratulations.
Thanks Noel for those very kind words! I appreciate it! T
Thanks for listening and commenting Eric! I appreciate it! T
Thanks Rayc for listening and commenting! I am still editing this song and I also was aware of the little artifacts here and there. Some what initially sounded like vocal effect pops were actually the effects used on the electric piano realtrack and my guitar. I have been slowly finding and editing these. I have corrected a lot of it now. Thanks, T
Love it Torrey!! Nobody can bring me back to my favorite era better than you. Some Steely, Some Ambrosia, some Jesse Colin Young....a delicious combo of sounds and lyrics. AWESOME!!! Take care. Greg
Thanks Greg! I always appreciate your comments! T
I really really enjoyed this. GREAT jazz rock funk fusion piece with great performance all around.
Great depth in the mix!
Love that bass and drum. Sweet melody and smooth guitar playing.
super job!
