Check out the song by Jeff Bates called "Watching His Son Going Down"... Another sad song..
If you like Conway Twitty type vocals...check out the song "Somebody's Falling" Sung by Sarah Darling and Jeff Bates.

Both good tunes...

I don’t know about a remix but I must say this song I like. I think this is one song I would describe as bloody brilliant but I am an Aussie.

I like this a lot. Was that real fiddle? It sounds almost like a guitar with an ebow. A lot of emotion in the vocals as well.


I smashed the hell out of my car today. When the cops came I told him "Officer, that guy was BOTH texting and drinking a beer." The cop said "Sir, he has every right to do that. I mean, it's HIS living room..."

Eddie,

That is a guitar you are hearing. I ran it through an auto swell pedal that basically detects pick attacks and replaces them with a smooth volume swell. Makes it sound like a bowed instrument. Some guys can do it with a pinky on the volume knob, but I’m not that coordinated.

Re the vocal: She wrote the lyrics after losing a best friend to cancer, so yeah, she was feeling it when she did the recording.

Thanks for the listen and comment, I haven’t listened to yours yet but will do so soon.

I've listened to most of the songs in this thread. This one gets to me! I remember it from when you first posted it. Hard not to like a brilliant write with Janice on vocals!
