Hi Guys, Here is a song from back in the day (wrote it about 30 years ago) thought i may resurrect it, did this one today mostly real tracks with a bit of guit mando and vox... think this is worth doing? thanks guys. Ade.. a bit beatle-ish.... https://soundcloud.com/jakeyh/there-goes-that-girlbw. dont pay any attention to the mix or vox, its just the idea, with made up rough lyrics.. (i cant remember that long ago for words, but they were something like this)

Yeah, definitely has potential. Your rough mix sounded pretty good. Go for it!

Yeah... it certainly has that 60's Brit Pop feel....
Nice tune and lyrics. Polished and tweaked, I could see this in a chick flick..... behind one of the scenes...
there's something really weird and off key going on in the solo around 1:50....
nice ending.... tighten it up and it's killer.

Sounds retro BUT then I'm a retro guy! Still think the old music was the best so I say "GO FOR IT". Pleasant tune! Take care. Greg

Definitely - go for it
I really like this genre!

Wow, if you could have had BIAB 2015 technology 30 years ago you would have been in the hit business for sure. This is a good song for your voice and would be a great fit in a movie based in that time.
Lyrically and stylistically, the song, lyrics and arrangement more closely follow Gary Lewis and the Playboys than what the Beatles would do. But that's a good thing. Gary had some nice hits of his own.
I think your song would be well received here on the forum once you get to your final mix. Not much work to do here to make this a fine recording.

Hi Pykeyh
Nothing really wrong with this at all. Certainly has that 60s feel to it and it flows along nicely.
Maybe sort out a better solo, bring the vocals up a bit and you've got a great song.

Nice song. Definitely the sound of 30 or more years ago.
Vocals are very good.

I have a friend here in the Worcester (Massachusetts, not UK) area who is in a band called the Brit Wits. They play note-perfect covers of all the 60's British Invasion bands, from the Hermits all the way to Cream. I love that stuff. This song makes me think of those great, simple, hooky songs from that era, which to me is a lovely thing. I love the bridge and the baritone guitar parts. Super start - please do share the finished product when you get there!
Cheers,
Bruce
