Thanks to all who've said my bass was fine, and I'm surprised it is even noticed through all the goodies in this song. Just wanted to add that Dave also made a great video for this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWZS3p8zNng


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Dave, Kate, Chris and Marty,

A wonderful/sad song and a brilliant chorus. It's still resonating in my head!
Beautiful lyrics and sung so nice.
I listened to the song, then saw the video and it was so good!
I didn't know your wife was a writer, Dave. and a good one.

I think I need to have a serious talk with my wife
Possibly she 'takes up the glove' and write me a lyric too.
If not, maybe I then have enough inspiration for one myself...

But, beside the dull bass, the song is very, very pleasant to liten to.

Hans

Blue Attitude + Kathy,
Excellent teamwork! Very well rounded and powerful tune. Did not hear previous version, but this sounds great.
Super guitars with signature solo. Electric vocals by Chris. Marty A+ bass and BGV. Congrats!

Chris’s soulful vocal was perfect.

Speaking of soul, what a beautiful melody and exquisite guitar performance by you. Marty’s bass is as always attentive to and supportive of what's going on at the moment in the mix.

Yours and Marty’s harmonies really shine on this too.

Great soundstage ... so good thru our monitors (newish ones with an 8" sub).

Excellent!

Thanks guys, and thanks for the comment over on FB as well, very much appreciated!

Chris does her usual stellar job on vocals.

Marty's bass is gorgeous, as always.

The always-perfect Dave guitar work!

Drums sound really good. Mix is excellent.

Strong in all regards.

Thanks very much, floyd, for all your support over the years, it means a lot smile

Appreciate that, thanks!

Terrific lyrics too.


Thanks for stopping by, Ray!

I'm a big fan of your guitar work: it complements the song and doesn't overpower--just the right seasoning, so to speak. Chris's vocal is superb. BGV sound good too.

- Good mix.

Great work Dave - one of your best.

Best Regards
Nigel


Great feedback, Nigel, thanks!

I took your advice and bumped the guitar up 2 db and also set the reverb to be identical to the vocal.

it took a crowd to make this song, a nice collaboration and a nice video. I like the vocal and the guitar and the mix.

Hi Hans,

Well, she has written a grand total of two sets of lyrics so far. I'm hoping she will do more, because writing is something I'm pretty much hopeless at.

I'm happy you liked the song, and I know that you are making a joke about Marty's bass playing wink

The original mix was very similar, Misha, I just made a very slight tweak. Thanks for the listen and comments!

That's the ultimate compliment for a guitarist I think, thanks so much!
