I'll have more to say about this is a separate response - maybe right after this - because I think it might be helpful to some...

This is the most reverb I can remember hearing in any of your songs, and I like it. It can be problematic when people use it to disguise a bad mix, but used to produce a mournful mood as you've done here I think it works quite well. But then I like reverb even when it's used too much.

The reverb on the trumpet was "copied" from the song that I used as "production template"... just trying to match that...

I loved your opening lines:
Quote:
he's hell-bent on finding
the ghost of garbo
with that golden key to his heart
that lady of ladies
that link to pure love
that line on a heavenly art

where do you come up with stuff like that?? That would never cross my mind in a million years!


It's always nice when someone specifically mentions lines that they like... I find it interesting because I (personally) would have picked out the lines that follow this...
"the prey is so easy
in this jukebox saloon
when he wins he's not sure that he cares"

I also liked the line
Quote:
now, who's to say
who turned out to be less than the other planned

Actually, I like every single line, but those two struck me in particular.

Thanks for picking that one out...

Quote:

The interaction between the piano and the trumpet is just phenomenal! The dynamics in the piano are particularly enviable.

I liked the way you allowed the trumpet to end in its own time. It adds a wistfulness that would have been diminished if you went for the clean ending.

Again... this was all "suggested" by the song production that I "borrowed from"...

I have more to say, but I'll stop there and wait ti see what others have to say. Congratulations on maintaining your perfect batting record of nothing but home runs for years in a row!
