ROG, that is ROG, no specific genre, just ROG! nice solo I like the vocal effect very much, fits your voice so well What can I say except I like that a lot, every song you post is excellent mix-wise as I have come to expect! nice bass. rock on ROG  Alyn Hi Alyn. Many thanks for looking in and the kind words. Always value your opinion. Very, very cool ROG!!! Heard a little Petty, little Floyd, and a trumpet part I never would have thought of trying which worked perfectly. Love the trashy drum vibe you got. Really great all the way around!! Take care. Greg 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. Enjoyable listen. I always look forward to your posts. Interesting effects. Hi Charlie. Thanks for the listen and the kind words. hi rog great peace here all of it very creative enjoy your stuff thanks for sharing eric Hi Eric. Thanks for looking in and the positive review. ROG.

Rock. That covers a wide area musically.
Cool tune. The vocal FX works. Not in your face, just a touch.
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. Cute song, well done as always. Like the vocal effect. Thanks for the review, Jim. The vocal effect seems to have been a success. ROG,
That might be my favorite of yours!
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! ROG -
Ditto everything that's been said. Great mix, and I love the vocal effect.
Regards,
Bob Always value a review from you, Bob. Many thanks. ROG.

Sounds like something Ian Hunter might be singing from back in the Mott the Hoople days (ha, ha). Sounds like a good old gem that you mixed up just right. Are the girls still doing music?
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! ROG, You've done it again. This is a killer track. I never thought the trumpet would work but it does. Good thinking outside the box on that call. Great vocals both lead and bg. Super guitar playing. The mix is outstanding with the bass occupying a great spot sonically. Rock on Professor!!! Tom 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. Hi ROG,
Well, we really dig this vocal effect!
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. Enjoyed that. A bit different but nice and catchy.
Good trumpet and guitar parts. Hi Peter. Many thanks. I always strive to produce something a bit different, so it's good to hear you say that. ROG.

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!
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

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! Hi Rog,

Sergio Hi Sergio. Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. It's much appreciated and I'm pleased you liked it. ROG.

Wow! Tom Petty in your face!! (in a good way)
Really loving those effects and the guitar is
superb. Cool interlude with the trumpet RT.
Another one for our SC playlist.
Rock on!
J&B
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....

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. ROG
