Definitely hear The “Money For Nothing” influence on the signature riff in this tune. Well done. Everything rocks! The playing, the vocal, mix - all tops. Really love it. Great work!

This stick in your head well after it is over. Nice. A good "pop rock" write.

Hey ROG,

I had the same thought Floyd did about just listening and not picking it apart - just kick back and enjoy the ride. Everything - everything - in this song is top shelf. It's a stunning listen. Gives me a desire to work harder on mjy productions. To be so talented! Best to you.

A HOME RUN!!! Bases are cleared and players are all sitting in the dugout by the time the ball re-enters the earth's atmosphere!!!

Excellent Rog!! Your guitars drive this song so nicely! Kind of a cross between ZZ Top and Dire Straights thing going on here. Your DAW sounds as good as any other to me! Thanks, Torrey

Remember the settings you used on this guitar solo for an upcoming song I will be sending.

Thanks for looking in, Eddie.
ELO? Yeah, I can live with that!
Got those settings bookmarked for when you're ready.

A pro piece from start to finish.

Peter

Hi Peter,
Yes, I was trying not to get too close to "Money For Nothing" on this one
Dire Straits has always been a favourite with me and so a big influence.
Many thanks,
ROG.

Ps- its not the DAW. It's the musician that makes the music and you are a musician's musician.

Hi Mario,
That's very kind of you.
You produce some great music yourself, and I always value your opinions.

Kenny

Hi Kenny,
Yes indeed, I was very conscious of not getting too close to that track!
Glad you enjoyed it and many thanks for the review.

Hi Janne,
Thanks for the listen and the nice comparisons - I've always been a fan of both Dire Straits and ELO.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
