Torrey, you nailed the R&B/Soul genre! Everything about this fits perfectly with that genre. Your vocal was great, your arrangement was great, your mix was great, and your lyrics were super. I am a big fan of your guitar chops!
PS, loved those horns also!
Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.

Outstanding! A lot of people try this genre but don't have the success you have here. Almost missed this, I discovered it as the followup tune on Soundcloud to a different tune from the showcase. Glad I caught it, you have a real winner here!!

Thanks Floyd for all the positive feedback! I really appreciate that you have taken the time to listen and comment! I have tried to address some of the eq issues you mentioned as I said in my reply to Robert. It's funny how an effects chain can sound different from song to song. Plus I also increased the tempo 3 bpm to give it a little more snap. T

Thanks Ghostgum! I appreciate the listen and comment! I don't think I'm quite done working with the horns in this one yet! I will probably be editing out a few places where they and the guitar are stepping on each others toes. T

Usually, I try to work through forum songs on a top-down basis. But when I saw there was a Torrey Bliss song, I cheated and skipped a few to get to it early. As usual, it doesn't disappoint! First of all, it's got that tone of a '70s classic. Then there's the catchy-as-hell chorus, and an excellent enthusiastic vocal driving it. Horns sit where they should, bass is fun... Everything just comes together and works. Most importantly, the song sticks with me after the song's done, and makes me want to play it again.

I really enjoyed the combination of instruments in this song, and I feel they worked really well together! Awesome job.

Thanks Ray for taking time to notice the small details! I had planned already to address some of that extraneous noise and knew (lol) you would catch it! I appreciate all your contributions to the forum! T

You have amazing ability to create catchy pop songs which sound strangely familiar but are still original in your own unique style. Well done with this one also, positive sound and story with perfect band, excellent vocals and very balanced mix.

Hi Torrey, Man, you are on a roll! (see what I did there?  ) Two great songs within weeks of each other. This is as good as it gets, just top notch and totally professional. Great vocal, and man, I love your jazzy guitar style. Mix sounds great to me. I think I hear what Ray mentioned, missed it the first time but went back and specifically listened after I read his comment. Around 1:40 I think. And might be coming from the vocal track? Loved this one, Torrey, hearing material like this makes me strive to do better with my own productions. Thanks Dave! I was wondering when a pun or two would arrive on this one! I still have work to do on this track with editing and re-recording a couple of flat places in the lead and background vocals as well as possibly re-record the guitar solo but it's getting closer! Thanks so much for your continual positivity and support! I appreciate it! T

Outstanding, Torrey! Nice BIAB backing tracks. Your vocals (the lead as well as the sweet backing vox) and guitar playing are superb. Nice tribute to the love of your life. Bravo!

Well, we certainly enjoyed rolling with it! Steely Dan came to Janice's mind...she paid more attention to them than Bud  Oh yeah, a little Doobie Bros also but ultimately it's Torrey goodness. 70's music was all over the map with multiple genres emerging and a few disappearing but this tune is a great example of the best of the period. Your guitar ALWAYS so well supports your melodies and arrangement. Just where it should be and never obtrusive. And what a tribute to your relationship with that positive and well done write. Right in our wheelhouse Vocals are outstanding. Extremely well performed and sitting perfectly in the mix. Great! J&B

Another great song Torrey!!! Has that 80's vibe that I dig....some Hall and Oates, Ambrosia, Kenny Loggins, etc... Really well done in every way.....a pleasure to listen to!! Take care. Greg

Outstanding, Torrey! I always enjoy your work. Great arrangement. I agree with Floyd. The vocal could use just a tad warmth to sit just a little better in the mix in my opinion. Great job on this one!
