Sometime 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 smile Excellent vocals and mix, nice lyrics. Really enjoyable wakeup song for a Sunday morning.

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
Posted By: Robertkc Re: FIND MY WAY BACK HOME - 03/18/18 02:24 PM
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!

Cool man!

Another very Steely Dan composition! I love these!

Great vox and backing harmonies.

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.

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

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 smile
Posted By: Ember - PG Music Re: FIND MY WAY BACK HOME - 03/20/18 12:31 PM
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.

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.

Torrey,

This is my favorite work of yours, so far.

Keep them coming!
Posted By: Torrey Bliss Re: FIND MY WAY BACK HOME - 03/21/18 09:30 PM
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

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

Posted By: rayc Re: FIND MY WAY BACK HOME - 03/31/18 08:19 AM
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 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
Posted By: Greg Johnson Re: FIND MY WAY BACK HOME - 04/02/18 08:17 PM
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
