I really think you underestimated yourself Absolutely!! Dang that is an excellent intro to this forum. All else has been said except my thoughts on the ending. Leave it as it is and just let the last notes/chords fade away a lot longer than now, under the words "Just like that". Alyn

Caaron,
As has already been said this is an excellent first post. Looking forward to more and also to having someone do their own drum part... I don't think anyone has done that.
Nice job.
Greg

Caaron, You parents are going to be smiling from ear to ear when they hear your song for them. Wow! Not what I expected for a first effort. Everyone agrees you are good at this song making stuff.

Hi Caraan. I am a little late to say welcome to the forum. Great first post and a wonderful tribute to 50 years. What an achievement. Most people cant stay together for 50 days! Great song. More please!

Thank you again everyone. It really means a lot to me to have these comments coming from songwriters! I'm sure you know what you mean. It seems family and friends are pretty quick to give compliments...or be WAY more critical than they would be of other songs they like. Ha! Go figure!
Anyway, I don't take lightly the comments you have all offered.
JosieC-You are so right. I keep saying it's not about the song. The song is about THEM. Thanks for your perspective with that!

Hi Caaron
Beautifully done on all fronts.
Particularly like some of the vocal rhythms and that voice of course.
Cheers.

Really nice and welcome aboard!
The vocal has a Don Henley feel to it
and I can't say I've ever said that
about a vocal before. The choice
of RT/RD works very well and
the arrangement is well thought out.
We enjoyed our listen -- a lot.

Hi, HTL !
This was simply wonderful
and a lot different than
jingles !!!(chuckle)
You have a nice voice
very suitable for this genré
and probably for many others
too !
The backing vocals were spot on !
Cheers
Dani

Thanks so much for the comments and compliments. I absolutely loved giving it to my parents. It meant a lot to them, so it meant a lot to me.
Incidentally, the final version (non biab) was posted on soundcloud as well if you there is any interest. The only reason I didn't finish in biab was I had JUST started using the program and was under a time constraint. I personally believe my parents would have liked the biab version better had I had more time to go that route.
Thanks again!

Ok, so I have some comments and am also curious about a few things. 1.) You have a GREAT rock and roll and singer songwriter voice. Just great. Radio great. I was reminded of Bob Seger a little bit--in a really good way. 2.) The simple style you have chosen works extremely well. I would not try and overcomplicate things moving forward. The hardest thing in the world to do is a simple arrangement that holds up with just a voice, a great lyric and minimal instrumentation. I think you should stick with that. That is what's golden. 3.) Your lyrics are heading in a great direction with the story telling vibe. I would keep going with that Bruce Springsteen thing and just write my butt off if I were you. I think you are on to something. Here is where I am curious. It says you are an "expert." Why have you not posted a song before. You are extremely talented. Why the long wait? Inquiring minds want to know. Post more man!!!

Hello,
Very nice song: I have heard in it something of Air Supply's style
Very pleasant listening.

David, thanks for the comments. They are always appreciated. I apologize I didn't respond sooner; but keep getting caught up listening to what others have done. I'm very much that way for some reason. This song was actually from a while back. It was specifically written for my parents anniversary. It's not a style I typically don't write in, but am not opposed to by any means. I like to write all different styles. There have been a number of reasons why I don't post more in the showcase. My favorite style of music to write in currently is pop-country. I don't hear much of that here; and didn't know the reception it would get based off of comments in other threads. It turns out, it's all fine and good  I will be posting some thing in the next few months. Probably a bigger part of me not posting is I write every working day for my job. I'm not burned out by it, but this usually would take a back seat for now. I really don't consider myself as much of a musician as a writer/producer. I have very methodical ways of writing and am always looking to improve on that. I primarily look for commercial appeal, but completely appreciate and delve into the artistic side as well. More to come, I promise. It will be different than what most here write; but maybe that will be a good thing. Thanks again for the comments and interest!
