Thanks for listening and commenting Rob. I am a product of the 60's/70's era musically. I certainly find a comparison to John Lennon very flattering. Thanks! I'm really enjoying the diversity of songs you're posting. Your vocals are uniformly excellent! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg,

I've listened to this song quite a few times now. It just keeps getting better and better. As everyone has said, either explicitly or implicitly, this is OUTSTANDING! It's an incredibly inventive way of using AABA form and modifying it to do the job it needs to.

I especially like the back end of each A-section (from the 5th line of lyrics onwards). Melodically, harmonically, rhythmically and lyrically these sub-sections cascade with musicality and creativity and weave some wonderful musical magic. To my ears, it's like the first four lines of lyrics in the A-sections set the stage and, from line 5 on, the main act takes over and dazzles with brilliance. I really admire how you've achieved this lyrical and musical contrast through structure. Incredible!

Ok... it's time for another listen!

All the best,
Noel

P.S. When it comes to mixing, floyd is one of the forum's best. Every time I listen to one of his songs, I'm left with the feeling that there's so much I still need to learn when it comes to mixing. In my opinion, you'll never go wrong listening to floyd's advice.

Can't knock this one or at least not much, the lyrics are superb and well written regardless of the writing formulae, the fit and that's what matters. The music and the harmony of the backing singers is great and just loved the sax instrumental, the only minor criticism is that I thought the out throw was a tad too long, so I agree with the drum at the end suggested, and shortened down a little. and no in my sound system the drums weren't too loud or heavy, just right for the song and the feel of it.

Hi Greg. I am late to this party so it has all already been said. But I must tell you how much I enjoyed the vocal (I guess I am a vocal kind of person). Great write. Well done Greg.

PS.Is that you singing the background vocals as well?

Thanks Jeff. Very much appreciate your nice comments. Have to give a lot of credit for the mix to Floyd Jane. It was quite a mess when I first sent him an MP3 but he ID'd the problems for me which made a huge difference. Take care. Greg

Thanks for that wonderful review Floyd. It is humbling to receive such high praise from the most seasoned writer on the forum. AND thanks so much for your help with the mix which was incredible. You do have the golden ears, along with the golden pen! Take care. Greg

nice song, harmony and vocal.
More I listen and more I like it.
I would have liked a guitar solo at the end but it's also good
with the sax

Loving it here. Beautiful song and arrangement. Someone else mentioned the laid back CA vibe and I agree. Lots of depth in the mix and a spot on ending imho. Love those harmonies.

Terrific Greg.

Where's the "like" button?

There's really nothing left to add, other than to say that I liked it a lot!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

The part of this that grabbed me was the lyric writing in the choruses. Word smithery at it's finest.


Very much appreciate that feedback Herb. I know you are one of the most active listeners on the forum, and a compliment like that from you is huge in my book! Take care. Greg
