Wow. What an awesome tune. Super vocal and harmonies Torrey. Marty and Dave were at their finest. Brought the song to life. Boy your harmonies sounded vary familiar in a good way but can't put my finger on it. Maybe a band called Streetheart. Very very cool..

Torrey - a cracker of a song with an excellent melody & a seriously great vocal.
Dave - ace solo and fills that fit the bill.
Marty - in the pocket and on the money
BIAB piano is an excellent fit.
Torrey, which DOD set did you use? I like that one. Did the structure of the DOD track influence the structure of the song? Thanks Ray! I used the Top 40 set. I have a few of their sets and I think that one sounds better than the others. It didn't really change the direction of the tune. I already had it mapped out in my mind ahead of time and was fortunate enough to have what I needed to make it happen. T

Hi Guys,
Terrific song, playing, vocals and mixing.
Couldn't be faulted - I enjoyed it from start to finish.
Very professional.

Torrey,
Cool song! Good write!
I hear a bit of Leon Russel (mixed with the ever-present Rundgren) plus any number of great influences!!
Beyond the influences - you are a true original.
The use of stops is excellent. Marty's gorgeous bass accentuates them nicely (I thought the bass could be a bit louder). Dave's guitar work is killer. (ALL of your parts are good!)
Excellent vocals and BGVs.
Awesome music. A great listen. Terrific collaboration!!
(this forum is SO cool!!)
Loved it.

Thanks Floyd for the positive feedback! I was on the bubble about raising Marty's bass volume, but it seemed to muddy up the track a bit with even a minimal boost! The effects chain in the stereo master track is probably the reason for that. At some point I may try a different preset and see if I might be able to get better results. T

oh boy...will echo other comments.
very 70s. v nice thinking went into this.
it reminds me of a canadian band of the past...just cant put my finger on who.
superb lead vocs with oodles of character.
what i like also as well is the way the backing
supports the lead vocs sooo well.
this shows true professionalism.
superb effort.
om Thanks om for the comments! I appreciate it! T

Cool!
One of the most successful collaborations I have heard here. People spent many months to achieve similar. Brilliant! From lyrics to artistry of playing to mix engineering, everything is album ready hit. Torrey, Dave, Marty, Congrats! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
Thanks Misha for all of that! I appreciate it! T

Very nice Beatles-type of rock song. Doesn't pale when compared to Paul McCartney songs. "so good" really shines all over in the positive lyrics, the super sharp rhythm section, Dave's playing, compelling vocals and in the crystal clear mix.

Such a wonderful song and so well-done, Torrey. Thanks so much for the invite, especially because you could have done the bass even better. Thanks to all who mentioned me in there, but to be clear, the creative part of the bass line was done by the master songwriter, Torrey Bliss. Love everything about this. No one has mentioned ELO. Torrey your songs remind me of all the things I like about that band without all the things I didn't. Brilliant. Thanks Marty! I appreciate your willingness to help on this so much! Yes, I did let you know kind of what I had in mind for some of the bass lines, but the fact remains that you played them and did it in excellent fashion! Your bass always sounds great and I was proud to have it on this tune! T
