HI Scott,
Yeah ... love it! That bit of delay (sounds a lot like the old Echo-Plex - remember those?) is super! Your tone and and light touch are terrific. So danged pretty! I think you caught the mood of the changing seasons perfectly. Kudos ... excellent! I could listen to this all night - might do that!

You did a fantastic job on this, Scott! The guitar work on this is superb, and the tune is extremely calming and beautiful sounding. Easy to close your eyes to and drift away  Thanks so much for sharing!
Cheers,

As mentioned that delay works so well for the mood. We're 6 weeks away from the leaves turning and looking forward to cooler weather -- but not the kind of cooler weather you have!
That is an exceptionally beautiful melody.
Excellent work on that Strat!

Alan Thanks Alan for checking out the song. Yes I adjusted the settings to try and get the old analog tape feel to the delay. Glad you liked it..

Hello, Scott
Really beautiful melody with very nice tonal shifts.
It is one of my favorite that the modulation going down by whole note such as Bm7/E7-Amaj-Am7/D7-Gmaj.
The guitar tone is exactly Scott's tone.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

I have been thinking a lot about the shift in seasons too. Up where we have been the weather has been temperamental at best (orange and ash covered skies, orange moon, red sun ... hot one day, and cold the next!) thanks to the fires south of us, and while we are getting some unusually hot weather for this time of year, the fall transition has started in retail and restaurants that take advantage of the fall flavours and colours. However, I'll know fall is truly here once you can see your breath at night and need to wear two coats to keep warm.
O, Canada.
Now, on the actual topic of your song — easy listening is the perfect way to describe this particular one! It's smooth and enjoyable to listen to, and is definitely something I could have on in the background to keep me focused while working.
Great job!

Easy to close your eyes to and drift away Thanks so much for sharing! Thanks Derek for checking out the song. I really like the slow laid back songs. With the volume set right in the music room the sounds from the amps go right through you.

There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
