Hi Lawrence,
This is our favorite from you. Great sound - production, vocal, backing tracks and arrangement. There's a n expressiveness in your vocal that brings out the brilliance of this song. And that reverb guitar, with a touch of tremolo, is perfect fore the piece. Totally loved it!
Alan & Di
Al & Di, thank you so much!
Lawrence
A real stand out - really nice in every way. Love the vocal and well played guitar solo.
Top class.
Peter
Thank you for your kind words Peter.
First, a very creative use of the Brent dreamy realtrack.
And then the chorus which comes in so nice and rhythmically with again a very nice choice of RTs.
And then the vocals... we won't say anything about that, because everyone here on the forum knows they are among the best
Rob and Anne-Marie
So very kind of you. You two rock! (And it seems that there is almost nothing you can't do with that Dreamy guitar)
Super job, Lawrence! I like everything about this one. Great arrangement, great production, very well written. Your vocals really do the job on this one. Really enjoyed the guitar solo. Going back for another listen!
Steve
Steve, thank you for your kind remarks.
less dense is a good description,
I love the spaces in between
makes the song breathe, very nice feel
this is a killer song, so good
I never do a perfect vocal and usually keep
about the second pass and don't like to do punch ins
guitar solo sounds great
nice write
Kenny
Kenny, thank you. Sounds like we take a similar approach. Striving for that feel.
Lawrence,
A real pleasure to listen to.
The opening is really nice - made me look back to see what the guitars, bass and drums were. The mix is excellent - crisp without being too sharp. Tasty fills all over, without ever getting in the way, supportive and interesting. The choice of guitar RTs is a sweet combination.
Nice write. The cadence of the lyric is superb. Makes for a great listen. "..editing ...especially the lazy words like “and”, “but” and the worst offender “just”." That's a lesson that a lot of writers should take to heart. There are no "bumps' in this - falls on the ear perfectly.
Stellar vocal. There were a few spots that I thought it needed to come up very slightly (the rhythm electric pulled my attention).
Great listen.

Floyd, thank you. Some words stand out to me as placeholders and I feel that with a little more thought a stronger, tighter lyric can be had. So when I do leave a "just" in the lyric it's thought out. On the vocal I am experimenting with the dynamic eq that comes with Ozone 7 (which I bought last week) to try and resolve some of the focus issues. Thank you for honing my awareness.
Back for another listen. We just wanted to double-down on what we said the first time.
Just one more thing -
Although they are much different groups, we can hear this dine by either The Eagles or Dire Straits. We think the tight harmony of The Eagles would be the next best - after your version. The backing trax are more Dire Straits but the vocal said Don Henley to us. Still, you take to a better tplace than either of them might have. Our opinion, of course, be we're pretty danged confident with it.
Alan & Di
Thank you again! It's funny you mention those two bands. I definitely hear the Don Henley in the vibe and vocal and I tried some Dire Strait guitars before I settled on this mix.
