Here is a new recording called Typical Guy . I wrote it awhile back and just got around to laying down the tracks and putting it together over this past month. BIAB Style is _SZFLSH2.STY (BritInvaion,2ElGuit,bass (140RS)) RealTracks in style: ~1010:Bass, Electric, BritInvasion Ev 140 RealTracks in style: ~499:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm StoneZ Flash 1 Ev 140 RealTracks in style: ~505:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm StoneZ Flash 2 Ev 140 RealDrums in Song: RockClassicBritEv^3-a:Snare, Closed HiHat , b:Snare, Loose HiHat Comments and suggestions always welcome. I stand accused of being a typical guy If that's really how you feel, well I wish you would tell me a lie. I wish you'd say I'm special to you and that you feel the same way I do and that you'd love to give our love a try. Now, I confessed I love you in that red dress and I told you true you look so good in blue when you where the pink one, well I nearly come undone and that short black leather skirt it makes me hurt A typical guy would rather hear you tell him your sweet lies Doesn't wear your skirt, but it still hurts La la la la la la la la la la la Sometimes I wish the shoe was on the other foot While we're on the subject of those lovely feet There a treasure of you like everything above to and I lay my heart there every time we meet A typical guy seeking treasure sailing on this lonely sea lives to lay his world at your lovely feet La la la la la la la la la la la Well, you walk my way and this song begins to play I want to share what I'm feeling I've got to find the words that say what my heart is already singing La la la la la la la la (love you) Doo be doo be doo be (deed I do) There I've nearly said what's rolling round my head Every time I've got the chance to be with you A typical guy doesn't always say what's on his mind Doo be doo be doo be doo be deed I do La la la la la la la la I love you -Patrick

Patrick,
It takes right back to the 60s. It made me smile from the start to end. Nice work. Thanks.

Patrick,
Fun song! Kind of Elvis Costello/Cars/Bubblegum feel. And very catchy! The kind of tune that shot to the top of the charts when we were kids...
Good mix. What was the twirly, whistling synth in the opening?
It seems like you played that..(?)
Nice vocals. The harmonies are TIGHT! and really drive the sound of the song...Did you sing them - they sound "real"... nice! however they were done...
The Stones guitars work great for this without sounding derivative ("like a Stones song"). Because of the speed up I imagine... (giving it that EC sound)...
The ending was cool - almost transformed to The Kinks! - you covered a lot of ground in this!
I must have listened a dozen times... enjoyed it each time..

This reminds me of the mid 60's sound, i.e.,
post Beatles but before blues rock and
psychedelia began to dominate. floyd
described it well. It did take me back to
the Kinks.
But...irrespective of the flashbacks it sounds
refreshing and showcases your fine talent
in the write, the vocals and the entire
production.
A great listen. Thanks

Hi Patrick, Like all those before me, I, too, ended up back in the 60s as I listened. It's a great song you've composed, arranged and mixed. I found it entertaining and uplifting and it left a smile on my face after it had finished. What more could anyone ask for! All the best, Noel

floyd Floyd, Thanks for the kind words. The intro was done on an old Korg DW-8000 synth i picked up recently. I used "patch 38". And played it in ( repeatedly until i got it right). I did sing the harmony line in on a separate track after practicing singing along with the original over a few days of commuting. Towards the end of the tune i subbed the drum parts to push it along. I had a friend point out that Joey Kramer of Aerosmith would often drive a tune with a Cymbal pattern at certain points to give it a lift. i had to give that a go! Thanks for giving it a spin and your comments. I appreciate it.

Hi Patrick,
A little bit too much reverb/delay on the backing vocals.
But apart from that: A GREAT PRODUCTION!
It almost sounds like The Byrds.

I loved it - bright and bubbly, and as floyd mentioned, nods to all those fantastic songs.
The abrupt ending had me giggling. Fun listen!

Thanks Noel. I am very happy to hear that. Many of your tunes have a similar effect. -Patrick Patrick,
Full of life, and fun! Enjoyed it.
Steve
Thanks Steve. Music to my ears. -Patrick Hi Patrick,
A little bit too much reverb/delay on the backing vocals.
Rob Thanks for pointing that out. Reverb is still tricky for me. Sounds different in the headphones, car etc. I'll tweak my mix and see if i can gain a better grasp. Much appreciated, Patrick I loved it - bright and bubbly,
The abrupt ending had me giggling. Fun listen! Thanks David. I am glad it had a positive effect. Regards, Patrick

Patrick, Definitely the 60's vibe. Very melodic. At first I didn't like all the processing on the vocals, but it grew on me as the song progressed. Really nice arrangement. Nicely sung and mixed. Great job! Tom

Really nice arrangement. Nicely sung and mixed. Great job! Tom Thanks Tom. I think a desser i added late in the mixdown might have hurt more than helped. I have a bit of work to do in that area. Thank you for comments. I appreciate it.
