Thanks, Ed!

Not sure I’m crazy about the guiro in the chorus I think if that’s what I’m hearing—I found it a little distracting, but that’s a subjective thing and it doesn’t seem to have struck anyone else similarly, so give it what little weight it may be due. Cool, imaginative, poetic lyrics . . . great stuff!

All the best,

Deej


Deej,
The intro follows Scott`s original instrumental... from there I wanted to make the song go in a very different direction.
Others have mentioned Chris Isaak similarities on my vocals before... I`LL have a listen to him again.
Guiro is a bit of strangeness I like... I appreciate your listen and feedback.

Nice job with every aspect of the production, as usual. What is the upside man and the downside man, are those nautical terms? They didn't google for me.


Those are both stocktrader terms- I just personified them.
Thanks for your comments.

Janne


Janne,
Yes, that`s a "crazy cuckoo clock"... apply the sound to a life and you`ll get the lyrics!
I appreciate the positive comments.

The blues shuffle is a perfect backdrop for some really poweful lyric imagery. Stunning.

What really captivated me was how a guiro sound in even eight notes sat so well with a backing in swing eight notes. Normally these two combinations of rhythm are antagonistic to one another. In the hands of your two, though, the effect is magical. To my ears it the guiro sound was a 'tic--tictoc tic--tictoc' sound that suited the concept of clocks and pendulums really well. Wonderful prosody!

All the best,
Noel


Noel,
When I had the idea of playing with that shuffle beat in an unusual way I figured someone would throw the rhythm rule book at the result! Thanks for being open to the strangeness and for your supportive comments.

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

Scott & Robert,

I also enjoyed minor chording and Scott's fine playing as Janne says.
The combination of Scott & Robert is always really good.
I think that it is an exquisite collaboration.
Each other pulls out each other's charm very well.
This song also uses a very strange complex rhythm.
I love it.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
