It could be, hopefully not the worst song ever. BiaB helping out on the orchestration played by my Integra 7 and bass, drums, dreamy guitar from the Pballads.sty. Fitted quite well I think. All other guitars and Vox by myself and recorded as usual here at home. https://soundcloud.com/los-cajones/da-da-da-da

Hi Paul,
I really enjoyed this.
Excellent production and vocals with great harmonies. Reminded me a bit of Simon and Garfunkel in places (e.g. Only Living Boy in NY). Love the harmony guitar solo too. Great job all round.
Cheers

P.S. Have you tried the BIAB song name generator? I sometimes use it for ideas.

Thanks mate I appreciate the compliments, Simon and Garfunkel? I'll take that  The name...Ha ha, yeah I will come up with a better one. I am waiting on a new mic and will be redoing the vocals when it arrives, then I will name it. As it is a work in progress I kept the working title for the moment.

I am waiting on a new mic and will be redoing the vocals when it arrives Redoing the vocals? Wow I thought they were great already. Anyway, just curious which mic you have now and which one you are getting as I am just about to replace the one I have and I am pretty much sold on the Audio Technica AT2020. Cheers Rec

One I am using here is the Rhode NTK, on order is the Slate VMS. If it lives up to it's growing reputation it should be amazing, giving a whole mic locker of vintage mics.

Fine production all through. I'll throw in with Tom on the production and mix. Vocals sound very good to us as does the playing.
Nice soundstage on our monitors.
Kudos!

Awesome sounds on this. As I think you know and suggest, VERY Pink Floyd. For a name, Is Pigs on the Wing already taken? What about "Fly Like an Eggshell?" Seriously, great work man.

Paul,
Very good!
Fantastic full sound harkening back to the progressive Brit. bands.I found it original too and the lyrics are interesting ( nice to include them).I`m with Receder on the need for a vocal retake, but will look forward to comparing if you do.
My title suggestion? Storybook Lies

This is excellent! Great vocal (you don't need to redo them IMHO), great backing tracks and a super mix. The harmonies were super and I really liked your guitar chops.
This is a keeper.

Cool tune.
Yeah I wouldn't worry about redoing the vox. A new mic really won't change the song's vox in a way that anyone could pick up on by listening. The vocal in this is too effected and too far back for the subtleties of a new/different mic to show through.
Totally enjoyed the song.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Many thanks for your kind comments folks, seems like you all like the Vox as is...Old story I only hear what is wrong, I'm sure you all know that one. I am never happy and will redo just to see if I can get one step closer, but unless it is dramatic I will take heed and leave this one alone. Janice and Bud thank you for your comment on the sound field. Robertc..Ha ha Yes I was/am a prog rock fan, delighted you hear that but still find it to be original, very much what I was going for.

Thanks Scott...Well as everyone is happy with the vocals I decided to name it after all. Took no more than a moment of thought, it had to be...Howling at the Moon.
