I would like to thank everyone for your wonderful comments and thought it only fitting to reply to everyone personally as I see many of you already adopt this approach.
Being only my second song with BIAB/RB, it has received equally flattering and constructive comments and I find it both humbling and inspiring that these comments come from excellent singer songwriters and musicians. Thank you all.

I'm on my third straight listen as I write these comments... Different elements keep grabbing my attention. Everything seems to add to the aura of the song.

This is one of those songs I wish I'd written. Having fun listening and enjoying this song. Good job. Already looking forward to what's next from you.

Thanks Charlie, I'm pleased you enjoyed the lyrics and storyline,its surprising what you come up with by just opening a page of a book. Already started on my next song. Paul

I agree with Charlie... this is really well done. A very good pop write and nicely produced. The addition of the horns and organ work well.

This has the sound (and feel) of classic AM pop radio - late 60's maybe - cannot think of band names off the top of my head - but this would fit that perfectly. (Royal Guardsmen? Dave Clark Five?)

Excellent listen...

Thank you Floyd, 'I'm feeling glad all over' (Dave Clark Five) you think it has something of the 60's feel, it just shows my age. I'm pleased you liked the other 'bits and peices'. The brass and the organ. I wanted a rock organ sound originally but for some reason it wouldnt play a certain part of the midi??, so I ended up with the softer organ sound. Another story behind the song! Thanks again for your kind comments. Paul

Well written with vocal and backing tracks that well support the lyric.
The production sounds very nice on our monitors.
Kudos!
J&B

Thank you Janice and Bud. I only own a couple of old hi fi speakers ( which I found in a bin/trashcan some years ago) and so to hear that the final production sounds Ok is great news to me. Keep up the good work you guys are doing too. Paul

Floyd got it!! Really has that 60's vibe-the song and production. At first the voice sounded a bit distant and wet but it grew on me and does fit the vibe. Very well done!! Take care. Greg

Thanks Greg, I'm still 'wet' behind the ears. I'm pleased you enjoyed my efforts and for your wonderful comment. All the best. Paul

Very good song.

Yup, there's so many good things in this. I agree with Floyd. It has that late 60's pop feel. I get traces of the Turtles and The Zombies in there.
Nicely done.
Mix crits: the overall level is low and the vocals are a few dB too loud, however, the mix is still a good clean mix which is more than half the game. Just a few tweeks here and there.

Many Thanks Guitar Hacker for your invaluable comment. again I am in pretty good company especially with the 'Zombies' Thank you also for the comments on the mix, I am more than happy you have found it clean and other stuff I can still improve on. Appreciate your time GH. all the best, Paul.

Yorkshireknight, I have listened to many songs on this forum but I've got to say that this one is one of my favorites! I truly enjoyed it. You have a great voice and you did a great job putting this together. I thought the vocal harmony around the 2 minute mark really added to the song along with those horns a little later. Keep on rockin' Thanks, Torrey.

Bless you Torrey for your kind comments. I must admit I now have to be careful with the songs I write, my ole voice cant get the highs anymore. I wonder if we can invent Singer in a Box? Really pleased you liked my second efort with RB/BIAB. Onwards and Upwards! Paul

Thoroughly enjoyed this. The vocals and harmonies are really well done, the breaks located perfectly, the melody has great interest, an the overall framing of the song sits just perfectly.


Hi Video Track, Many thanks for taking the time to listen and comment to 'I Lost My Way' and pleased you enjoyed the overall composition. Paul
