Hey Tangmo, I did acoustic leads a couple of times back in the AP days when I was doing those latin/rock instrumentals, but it is not something I do that often.

Thanks, happy you liked it!

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


Hi Hans,

Well, a screaming electric guitar solo would have been the obvious choice, I agree. But, we have done many songs using that particular formula. For this song I wanted to do something different.

Thanks for the listen and comment!

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


Hi David,

ezBass was supposed to be released Q4 of this year, but I read over on the Toontrack FB group the other day that they are going to hold off until 2020.

Thanks for the listen and comments smile

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.



I have no problem making out the lyrics, but of course I know what they are ;P

Thanks for stopping by, Herb.

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.

Thanks as always Janice and Bud!

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


I'm happy you liked this one, Stefan!

P.S. the video is pretty amateur compared to the amazing stuff you guys do! But, fun to do anyway.

The opening piano really hooked me in. And the minute the vocal came in, the song reeled me in completely. Once again, your guitar meshes in so nicely around the vocal.

Beautiful tune Dave and Chris! Everything sits just right in this one! The vocal phrasing and delivery are excellent! Chris always records top notch vocals on your tracks and this is no different! Guitar work is stellar once again Dave! Thanks, Torrey

Dave and Chris,

Love that opening—really pretty . . . and then that subtle introduction of the acoustic guitar—nicely done. Impressive vocal. And an expertly accomplished mix. Outstanding work!

My humble regards,

Deej
