Very nice funky track, I like that bass, great rhythm section. I also like those minor chords, they give nice nostalgic feel. I would like to hear a little bit more reverb, the guitars sounds bit dry for the summer dance.

The mix sounds excellent on the monitors.

Kudos!!!

Thanks a lot for listening (and sorry for the late answer...real life issues).

As always I appreciate you taking time to listen... and your comments are so nice, that it makes me blush!

Thanks!

Yeah, that is one happy-making piece. Well put-together. I loved the trade-offs between guitar and piano. Jammy, but not noodly. Really, really nice.

What a tune! Love the upbeat nature, and that groove is fantastic. It really is summery, and easy on the ears - and a great showcase of Band-in-a-Box's versatility. The percussion was an interesting choice, and the guitar solos added a ton of character also.

Wouldn't change a thing - thanks for sharing smile

Thanks for listening, Greg and Janne. Very much appreciated!

I might upgrade my SoundCloud to "pro" in the near future (running out of minutes) and if I do that I will upload a new version with more reverb on the guitar, because I think you are both right about that!

Thanks again for listening!

Great vibe! Like Floyd said, the drums are cool. And yes, you can make a happy song in a minor key! Good job!

Hello Will,

I'm alwways amazed about your fabulous usage of BIAB. You always find exactly the style that expresses your intention best. Another very nice tune that really reflects the subject (although celebrating summertime is curently not on my mind: 40 degrees are more than an old middle-european guy can bear...)

All the best,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

So good to hear from you again! I hope everything is well with you and your family. I - and probably many other people - miss your innovative videos and music a lot! I hope you will soon have the energy to produce again (I know the hot weather in Germany doesn't really help ones energy levels..)

Thanks a lot for listening and your kind comments! Now, please make some music for us...

Dear Will,

those are really very kind and uplifting words - thank you so much for them.

Well, Maha is still very sick, but we are happy to at least see some light at the end of the tunnel (hoping it's not an oncoming train smile ).

But she is so brave and although she's still feeling very weak she insisted on trying to do some working on one of my new songs - ten minutes at a time, but that's such a great progress ! And as soon as she puts her hand on my music it immediately sounds twice as good as before!

Before she got ill I had started to work on several projects so there are some videos that only need her to take care of the song itself.

So I hope that I will be able to post a new video in the course of the next few weeks.

I really hope that you and yours are in good health and you can enjoy the summer. Today it's OK over here: about 24, 25 degrees - that's my idea of a lovely summer day.

All the best, dear Will, and thanks a lot again for your very nice message.

Take good care,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your answer! I really hope you understand that I was just joking (about you making more videos) - it is many times more important that you take care of Maha (and all my best wishes to her)... music is really just secondary to good health...

Thank you for wishing me a good summer but I don't mind if it will be rainy and stormy if that means some good energy can be transferred to Germany and Maha... I really, really pray for her to get better soon!

Take care!
Will

Hello Will,

oh no, please don't you worry !!!! I really appreciated your words so much and thought that they were VERY nice and uplifting. (And when in doubt, I try to take anything rather funny than serious anyway.)

Thanks so much for your very kind wishes and thoughts for Maha - she really was so delighted when I passed them to her.

Have a very nice evening and all the best

Stefan

Hi Will,

I'm very late getting to this one.

I have to say that I'm really glad that I didn't miss it altogether. This is an excellent listen. The overarching sound is highly professional from start to end.

You have a flair for taking BIAB into places I never ever dream of. I always learn something new from listening to your work!

Regards,
Noel

The chord progression is somewhat reminiscent of "Solenzara" (Enrico Macias) but more up-tempo and up-lifting. Works well. I like it.
