Great song, Torrey. Nice melody and good lyrics, too. Your arrangement is also well done. I wish I could play my guitar as well as you play just one of those instruments. (I know, practice, practice, practice . . . .) No one else mentioned this, but I was sure I heard some horns at the end of the first three lines in both verses. Did you create that sound with your guitars?

"Why do I do the things I don't want to do
Why do I hurt you when I say I love you
Why are the days I get it right so few
Tell me why oh why"
Love the tune and the chorus Torrey - can't wait to hear the finished version.

Dear Torrey,
haven't heard any song of yours that isn't superb. This, again, is a great composition.And I'm always impressed by the fact that you play all the instruments yourself so flawlessly.
Fantastic vocals (as always). Regarding the mix: Although the bass line is awesome I think you could take it a little bit back. But that's, of course, a matter of taste...
All the best,
Stefan

Thanks for listening and commenting Ray! I don't have any reverb on the lead vocal, just delay. I do have it doubled on the heavy side so that may be part of the reason it's not out front more in the mix
I will be playing around with effects and mix this weekend when I get back to my studio . Thanks again, T

Thanks Dave for the encouraging and supportive comments! It's always appreciated! I am running the bass directly into my interface and then through GR5. It has some bass amp configurations and I use the one called "precise bottom" which seems to sound good with my bass and the style of tunes I do. T

It has a quality that cannot be faked, obviously, because each and every one of us is different. I'm referring to the quality of expression, seldom discussed, that enables an impression on the part of the listener of the personality, for lack of a better term, of the vocalist. Maybe it is soul. Whatever, the voice can convey so much about the artist. (Whether true or not, that's another story.) It is key to the success of a record, that dimension.
It goes with out saying, if a vocalist forces it or tries to be something he's not, it will fail.

Very cool tune Torrey. It grabbed me right from the start. The bass lines were so cool in the background. I really liked the vocal and effects you used. I think the mix is excellent right now. Guitar was super. Very cool tone...

This sounds like a "professional" track. This probably would have been a hit back in the day (80s). I admire your musicianship. Great song. Great production.

As Floyd said, nobody does pop better than you!! I can hear the Joe Jackson thing, and also some Todd Rundgren (I'm a big fan of both of you). Wonderful guitar playing!! AWESOME!!! Take care. Greg

Thanks Rob for the listen and comment! I agree about the cymbals! It is one of things that I plan to address when continuing my mixing in a day or two! T
