I found myself thinking of Tom Petty each time
I listened to this. So I get ready to respond,
read the thread, and see that floyd has already
mentioned it. So maybe I'm validated :-)
The mix is outstanding and you sing and play
the heck out of it so keep that engine
running...it ain't wore out.
Terrific.

Love the whole song Tom and think the drums are extra good.
I don't think the engine is quite worn out yet!
Cheers.
Richard, I have been spending more time lately getting the drum sound where I want it. Glad you noticed and glad you liked it. Tom Hi Tommy, This is a good one. Good write, mix, arrangement and production. It fits your vocal style nicely and the guitar playing is stellar.
Enjoyed my listen. Big +1 from me. Guenter Guenter, thanks for listening and commenting. Tom

Love it! Great melodic hooks with those guitar licks. Very catchy melody. The lyrics - love the even and leavin rhyme with the modern melodic phrasing - lots of cool rhymes in there with only one (drop down turnaround) that is a bit cliché but not a deal breaker. The drive straight into the chorus ramps up the energy. Indie rock with a great Costello vibe. Vocals are terrific too. Hooky hooky hooky - this is how it's done.
A+ my favorite of your rockers.
Josie Josie, I almost gave up on this one just because of that cliche. I just couldn't seem to come up with a replacement line, so I just went with it. Thanks for the great review! I am flattered. Tom Great song and guitar playing Tom! Peter, Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I sincerely appreciate it. Also a big thank you for creating and continuing to improve this amazing program that has touched so many lives. Tom

Another fine rocker Tom. I would like some more detail - Guitar (I'm thinking Strat)/ Amp / Effects / Signal path....
Regards,
Bob Bob, Thanks for the comments. I used Scuffham Amps S-Gear. The preset was Vintage Mod Delays. the guitar was an Epiphone Elitist Les Paul. For electric guitars I always record direct. For acoustic guitar I mike it. For steel guitar I mike it through a 69 Fender Deluxe. I stopped playing live a few years ago, but I always used a Voodoo Labs sparkle drive. It is like a dirty amp on one side and a clean boost on the other that you can dial in a great mix. Essentially like the old two amp method using one amp. I thought that may be of some interest to you. Thanks again. Tom I enjoyed the heck out of this tune.  Liked the guitar work, too. Thanks for the music, Dan Dan, Thanks for stopping by and giving a listen. Tom Tom,
You picked a great groove for the song. The guitar lines were great. I can imagine another guitar harmony line ( like you did on the vocals). Thoroughly enjoyed.
Patrick, That is a good idea about the two guitars. I may try to twin something in the future. Thanks, Tom

Tom, Drop down turnaround look where we’re at Have to disagree, in a small way, with Josie (Sundance) I like that phrase. Your voice sounds a bit different on this, still good tho' but different somehow, Your guitar, as always, shines  [quote]Wanting more and never ever having quite enough sounds like me and guitars  Great song, solid write. Alyn ps Herb (Guitarhacker) has a good ear doesn't he? Alyn, you're right the voice is processed completely different than my normal settings. I turned up the saturation. Just continuing to experiment. Thanks for your kind words and yes Herb has an amazing ear. Tom

Tom,
SUPER groove on this. The perfect combination of drums, bass and guitar - just the right amount of each. As the verse fell into the chorus I thought I was listening to the Heartbreakers...
One of the best snare sounds I've heard on the forum.
The TP feel continued throughout. Catchy in the same ways that a Petty song is - the combination of the words and music/rhythm and vocal added together and cannot be separated. The guitar under the chorus is nice. Excellent mix - almost forgot to say that - it has become a given...
An excellent rock write. A great listen. Can't get it out of my head...
floyd
floyd, Love me some Petty. Not consciously trying for his sound on this one though. The drums went through many different iterations of EQ until I got them there. Glad you noticed. I probably spent more time on the drums than I ever have before. Thanks for your continued support. Tom

Big sound on this song.
Excellent lyrics. Clever song writing. Jim, Thanks so much for your kind words. I appreciate hearing from you. Tom Hello Tom, we almost missed this  It sounds a bit like Huey Lewis and the news. Steady rock and very melodic! Rob & Anne-Marie Rob, Now that you mention it I also am hearing a little Huey Lewis in there. Thanks, Tom
