Better late than never:

The RTs are:

Bass--1827
Gtr strum--676
Drums--Rock Brit vibe 8ths
Synth pad--1543
Gtr elec rhythm--680
Gtr high strung Ac--1765
Gtr solo--1168 (I LOVE BRENT)
Gtr dreamy--2448 (STILL LOVE BRENT!)

I used CLA guitars (Waves on the solo gtr), and Izotope on drums and most other tracks plus mastering.

Hope this helps. Take care. Greg

This is a masterpiece. I see other have mentioned the Beatles. I would narrow it down even further to John Lennon. Not just sounding like John Lennon. I mean channeling John Lennon. Spooky.

Drums are fantastic. Is that you playing the guitar?

Are you going to keep us guessing on the real tracks and production. I wanna know how you did this.

Awesome Greg.


Really appreciate such high praise David! You have been a creative storm of wonderful music lately! Take care. Greg

Your singing voice fully embraces and projects the guiding, hopeful light shining from your lyrics. "Dream Love" could be a "go-to" song for anyone attempting to "deny the darker voice".

"Dream Love" is memorable, inspiring, and touched with beauty of sound and substance, Mr. Johnson.

P.S. Now, I understand why you always close your "User's Forum" posts with the words, "take care"!


Thanks so much for those very kind words Loren. They mean a lot to me! Take care. Greg

Also very nice and pleasant vocal.
As Peter said, you really have channeled the Beatles here.
And as Rob said, what a great vocal range you show us here.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Very few of us here can post a performance as well crafted as this is. It does have a Beatlesque feel that pulls in the listener and doesn't let go. Just beautiful! Among your very best, Tom

Your tendency toward positivity is always welcome and this certainly does not disappoint with the perfect vocal and arrangement to carry the message.

Well done!

J&B, your support and kind words are always deeply appreciated!! Who wouldn't be flattered by those comparisons? Take care. Greg

Nice write too.

Everything about this is very good.


Thanks Herb! In my book, that's about the greatest compliment a person can get. Really loved your Xmas guitar instrumental! Take care. Greg

Thanks Torrey! You're right, it does have kind of the Dear Prudence vibe. Love what you've been posting! Take care. Greg

That was my immediate vibe too, 70's Harrison or Lennon are just swimming all over this one - Not a shabby company to be in cool


Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
