A touch of "I fought the law".
The melody is very original.
Good stuff Will.
Rob.

Thank you Rob. I must say I'm delighted with the mix, the vocal, the harmonies and the song. I was just out listening in the car, and played it six times back to back. Thanks to your encouragement, my harmonies are starting to become an important part of the mix.

Will, This one can get in your blood really quickly. I like the overall sound and the chord progression brings back some memories. I thought the 30 sec intro was a tad long. I do think you are starting to get the hang of this BIAB thing. I think you could benefit from some pitch correcting software. The ahhs are hard to listen to. Please take that criticism the right way. I think you've got some good songs and if there is something out there that can help you to get more listens, then you should look into it. That said the song is very infectious. Tom

Will,
Sounds like you had fun putting this song together. Made me smile. The harmonies add something, don't they.

Hey Will, The metaphor "cloud of gloom" really stood out to me. It's a great expression. I found the energy of your song contagious. As Tom says, "This one can get in your blood really quickly." Because I'm not sure if you're seeking constructive criticisms, I'll hold back on any comments. You are definitely getting the hang of how to bring out the best in BIAB! Regards, Noel

Regards, Noel Noel, I am definitely seeking constructive criticism, I even changed a lyric in another song after a suggestion. I've been working on harmonies due to other suggestions, and just bought an autotuner after a suggestion from Tom. So not only can I handle criticism, I demand it. The only way these songs will reach perfection is with your input.

Fun vintage sound Will. Nice choice of RT's. And you are really getting into those harmonies.
Just in case you aren't aware, for oo's and ah's the built in harmonizer that comes with RB/BIAB is easier than singing them all when you're not doing anything fancy. Or for making a big sound by combining with your live ones. There's a thread on how to use it in the Tips and Tricks forum - you'll have to go back a few pages to find it.
Enjoyed.
Josie
