A great rocker, great lyrics and melody.

Agree about earlier comments on hard panning toms.
How do you mix your drum loops? Have you added some kind of compression to them? One or more tracks, bus-mixing?

And your vocals – outstanding! Really enjoying you taking out your american rocker potential!

Thanks for the ride :-)

Einar - Thanks for having a listen. The drums loops in this case are a stereo drum mix - just like RealDrums are - and just like them, I added the same Studio One preset that I always do - which includes an EQ and a multiband compressor. I just drop that one and then don't touch it...

Always impressed.

Steve - glad you stopped by (hope we will see more of you this year!). I'm actually surprised that this might be a favorite - it's kinda "the rough side of me"... smile

People have already mentioned many things...the lyrics, drums..all of that...fantastic.

Personally, there is so much working right, that I hate to limit it. I would like to say though, that I really like the hook extending into the piano at the end of the choruses. So cool. The organ coming into build into the next section...awesome! Tearing down and rebuilding that chorus towards the end, beautiful. You did SO MUCH to create interest in listening.

Loved it!

Strangely, as I'm writing this, Born in the USA is playing in the room I'm in. Hmmm....a sign?


Coincidence? I don't think so.
