Hi Alyn.
Many thanks for looking in and the kind words. Always value your opinion.

Thanks, Greg.
Petty, Floyd? Yeah, I can live with that. It took a bit of processing on the RealDrums to get them to sound like that - glad you approved.

Loved the breakdown to the trumpet.

Nice guitar playing.

I couldn't help thinking of Annie Lennox as I listened.

Thanks, Herb.
With that effect, less is definitely more. Glad you liked the trumpet - the RTs are just great, aren't they.

Thanks for the review, Jim. The vocal effect seems to have been a success.

Good opening guitars. The vocal effect works really well! The girls BGVs are perfect.

Love that snare sound! The subtle synth stabs are nice! Cool trumpet...

Gorgeous guitar lead!

The mix is a real stand-out!

REALLY enjoyed this!!!

floyd

Hi Floyd.
What can I say except thanks very much. A lot of EQ and compression went into getting that snare right. Then I thought "Floyd will want this louder" so I pushed it a bit more!

Good one. Nice trumpet part and lead work!

Hi Kevin. Many thanks. The girls are not doing music at university, but they're still singing. I get to see them in the vacations, but the rest of the time I have to do my own BVs!

Thanks for the complements, Tommy. I didn't think the trumpet would work either until I dropped the track in. The RTs are just great, aren't they.

Backing vocals are great too.
The song has got a very nice drive to it.
We also like that subtle chorus guitar. The 494 RT is a good choice for the solo, especially followed by that great guitar solo!

Rob & Anne-Marie

Hi R & A-M. Thanks for the review and really pleased that you liked the track.

Hi Peter. Many thanks. I always strive to produce something a bit different, so it's good to hear you say that.

Hi ROG,

Just got home from hospital after major surgery. This is my first listen since coming home. When I saw your screen name, it caught my eye immediately. Power Rock Ballad is about as close as I could define this by genre. But it just ROG ...nuff said!

Nor feeling real good so didn't read any of the previous comments. Forgive me if something might be repetitive:

1. Cool vocal FX
2. Perfect vocal harmonies
3. Bass line really drives this one for me
4. Trumpet was an interesting but unexpected choice. Very cool!
5. FX stabs were the icing and a delicious cake.
6. As always, guitar work, arrangement, mixing and production were as close perfect as one could expect.

Loved it! Best to you,

Alan

Hey ROG,

Apologies... I've just noticed that I haven't commented on this song. I first listened to it a week or so ago and I thought I'd commented then.

This is brilliant. You've really raised the bar here. Everything about this first rate. At the end of the music journey, the first thought that popped into my head was "ROG really knows his stuff!"

A terrific listen!

All the best,
Noel

Rog, everything that I wanted to say already has been said!

When I started listening I said how in hell is a trumpet going to fit in this song? Well you did make it fit and you made it fit very well! Kind of like a smooth jazz lead to a rock song.

You have helped get the bar a little higher here!

Hi Mario.

Many thanks for the kind review. That break-down section was originally going to have a vocal in it, but I couldn't get it to work. I tried a few solo instruments which I wasn't happy with and generated the trumpet without really expecting it to work myself. Sometimes, you just get lucky!

Tom Petty came to mind for me as well. That opening guitar sets this song up perfectly. It's a very artistic production with a lot of interesting fx, dynamics and shifts. Love those background vocals.

Technical and musical, if that makes any sense:) Thoroughly enjoyed it. Going back for another listen....

Hi Olemon and many thanks for the review.

Technical and musical? Yeah, that makes sense and I regard it as a complement, thanks. Always been a Tom Petty fan, so that sits well, too.

Thanks again for the listen.
