Hello everyone,

Here's our new song in the so-called 'soft rock style'.
Any resemblance to the distinct sound of a very famous band of the 80s and 90s is sheer coincidence, haha.
Featuring two different Darin Favorite soloists.
No video for this one, just a nice picture.
Hope you like it.

All about you

The guitars reminded me of 'Sultans of Swing.' Sounds nice. Enjoyed the listen.

your production/engineering is always so well done! I don't know how you get each instrument so clear and present.

love your vocal affection of "you-know-who" especially the line just before the guitar solo- spot on!

Anne-Marie and Rob,

That guitar is so very distinctive...

Super vocals on this. An excellent mix - nice and airy.

Good song. Well done. Enjoyable listen.

Hi Rob and Ann-Marie
that "quacking" Strat had me reaching for the split pickup selection on mine and got me grooving along.
Great song and if it has some allegiance to DS and Mark's superb style then - clever you!!
Excellent.
cheers

Hi Guenter,
Thanks, Rob is a big Mark Knopfler fan and wanted to do a Dire Straits emulation, guess what.... every related track was available in the UltraPlusPack.

Hi Lawrence,
Thanks, each mix takes quite a long of time. We also listen to the mixes at both Rob's and my place. On top of that we also use headphones. But in spite of that, mixing is quite a hard job.

Hi Floyd,
That's right, thanks to Darin Favorite!
But we did some finetuning on the solo's.

Hi Ian,
Rob tried to play along with this soloist on his Squier Strat, and managed to get just one or two of the tones right, haha.

Hi RichMac,
Thanks, more to come....

Cheers, Anne-Marie

Good tune. I'm also a big fan of Dire Straits. This is an excellent mix all around. You guys are great performers and I always look forward to hearing you.

I like the Dire sound too and y'all used it well. I would like to see the lyrics since there was a word or two I didn't get.

Love your voices. A pleasure listening.

Hi Josie,

It's a good thing you're asking for the lyrics of the song, we will post them also from now on.

Here's the lyrics of All about You:

Love is the reason, I've been trying
to find out all about you
It's the same way, the world comes around

Between our eyes and our things
whether it's yours or it's mine

How could I leave you, loving you all that time
what ever reason could ever be good enough

Between our eyes and our things
whether it yours or it's mine
And in a while I'm falling again
You've got no choice in this,
you can't leave me


regards,
R & AM
