Thanks for sharing!

Very cool acoustic guitar and keyboard together, totally pro production... you guys are the real deal.

Hi Robert,

Well, at the end of the day it’s all about having fun as far as I’m concerned. If we can produce a decent sounding track as part of that, it’s a bonus wink

Thanks for the support, always appreciated!

Loaded with muted power that bursts through on the title line. Chris' voice and EP carry the song well with the BIAB tracks pulling it all together. I'm not sure I've ever heard you play acoustic lead. This was just great here. Proof you are a player who well uses, but does not rely on, electric tone to deliver the emotion. Very much enjoyed.

Thanks, Scott!

I’ve been wanting to get an acoustic lead in one of our songs for a while now, this one just seemed right. I used CLA Unplugged on it BTW, great plugin.

Hi Dave and Chris,

A very nice song with a strong build up to the choruses in the final part.
Chris did -of course- an outstanding job on the vocals and you on all the other instruments!

But given the drama in the song, I expected a more 'howling' electric solo guitar. One that cries out the misery. I hope I made myself clear on this. But that's a matter of taste of course, and no criticism whatsoever. That is not possible with such a good song.

Bye,
Hans

I also got a strong Stevie Nicks feel listening to the vocal.

Really nice work all around.

The final drum fill fooled me - I expected one more round of the chorus after that. It really gave the ending a powerful ending.

Loved it all - superb work all around. laugh


The ToonTrack bass is coming out soon? Dang, this is the last day the Modo bass is on sale for $99. Now you've given me something else to think about spending my money on. frown

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

The tone on your guitar is always so perfect for the song it complements. And Chris has such a wonderful voice. You two never disappoint ... ever! On this particular song, I felt a bit of a Stevie Nix element in Chris' vocal. That is a good thing, in my opinion.

Kudos!!!!

I very much appreciate that, Alan, thanks!

That was really good. Totally enjoyed it...and the video is well done.

Personally, I had a hard time making out the lyrics. If it wasn't for the written words, I would have missed a bunch of the meaning. I'm not sure if it was just my ears or the EQ on the vox, or the cheap speakers I'm listening on. I noticed this on an earlier song with Chris singing also.

Chris: Your singing is magical. The angst in your voice plus your ability to carry the listener along created an extraordinary listening effect for me. Very nice piano work too. All I could think of at the end was, "More please!"

Dave: Your instrumental work and your productions are outstandingly good. You've picked up lots of producing abilities over the years and your productions now sound truly beyond wonderful. I'm very impressed with how you've tamed that Bass Realtracks (1036). As I listened, a ton of thoughts of admiration for your skills filled my mind.

Magnificent listening.... from absolutely every direction!

Regards,
Noel


Well, that is one of the nicest reviews we have ever received! Thanks, Noel smile

As far as the production side of things go, it has been a fun journey over the last few years learning new things and seeing everyone else's skills improve too. Hanging out here has certainly helped!

Janice immediately commented on how powerful yet pure Chris's voice is.
And Bud adds, yep, but it also has that slight edge that gives it a
lot of soul.

This tune is a showcase for one of BlueAttitude's signature traits and that
is wonderful dynamics. Outstanding.

And the acoustic guitar and piano performances add just the right
amount of tasteful support.

Strong production in all aspects and a very nice video that added to
and distracted nothing from the song.

Y'all are so consistent in quality productions and us listeners are all
the better for it.

Hi Dave hiChris,

that's just another beautiful dish coming out of your musical kitchen. Very soulfully sung, Chris, and I DO LIKE those acoustic solo parts dave a lot (like I love all your guitar jobs anyway).

A beautiful video with terrific sights, Chris, perfectly fitting the song.

Really well done, guys, enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

All the best,

Stefan
