Scott, Sorry to learn about your hearing and glad that most came back! Beautiful lyrics. Performance & production are very strong. Not sure why you are not happy with the mix, I found it well balanced, and vocals sit nicely. Some of your previous tunes were a bit on high frequency (to my ears)the vocals... This vocal mix listens very well on my studio K702 headphones, which are on the colder side. Enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
Thanks, Misha. Now that you've said that about the previous vocal EQ, I notice it on some of my older songs. I'll have to go back and readjust the EQ on them.

Nice job, I like the 12 string electric, very Byrdsish. Singing and song were both excellent. Glad your hearing is back, I am dealing with a strange version of tinnitus, it's very annoying for making music. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much, my neighbor to the north!

Really enjoyed this.
Sensational vocal delivery, and the entire backing kept just the right feel throughout.
The clever use of the guitar breaks added interest and dimension. Thanks for taking the time to give my little song a listen.

This is a fantastic write! Your lyrics are outstanding and is your vocal. The guitar leads were a perfect fit! Your backing tracks (super choice of RTs) fit the song like a glove and your mix was super.
This is your best to date IMHO.

I've been eager to hear a new one from you___ It's been over a month :)___ I hope you are feeling better & your hearing continues to improve.
You've written another interesting song__ I especially like the melodic/chordal change you created for the lyrics
"I always speak my heart I cannot pretend I won’t live in your world Where summer never ends"
Very pleasing to my ears. Get well & write! Good Morning ... Jim captured my feelings much better than I could have elaborated on then. I agree with all he said. Love the introspection in the lyric. really nice! Thanks for the listening pleasure ... Alan Alan, it's good to have you back. I enjoyed your latest posted song.

Scott, I enjoyed the unexpected lyric perspective and that chiming electric 12 string works well- the whole arrangement including the guitar solo sounds good to me. Vocals sit where they should to my hearing- the song showcases your excellent folky pipes!
Robert
Thanks, Robert. Lyrically, I was trying to avoid the usual pop song tropes (which is difficult to do).

Yep, that's that 12 string sound, all right.
Nicely done - as floyd jane said, and interesting angle on the lyric.
I liked the arrangement, especially the guitar solos pushing things along. And it was really effective when the drum and harmonies came in.
Thanks, David. I always appreciate your feedback!

Scott Sounds excellent to me. Very enjoyable vocal performance and a nice sounding band.
A really polished composition.

Thanks, Peter. I hope you are well and away from the smoke.

"The sunset kisses the lake You are standing on the shore Whitecaps glisten, you are mine to take But I can’t take it anymore" That certainly grabs you from the get go! Great write. Fine vocals and a band choice that really shows off BiaB's capabilities...in talented hands. The arrangement build was cool and that solo RT is a treat. Very nice! J&B PS Best to you re the hearing...I (Bud) have struggled for years with hearing issues. Certainly makes mixing even more of a challenge! Thanks, J&B. Yes, mixing was a bear with this one with only one and a half ears.

Ezekiel, Very nice. Balanced sounded good to me, hope you're recovering well.
I'm a sucker for lake/water songs, I lived aboard my boat six months out of the year for about 30 years . I've got many fond memories of the Michigan shore.
Thanks Moto
Thanks, Cappy! I grew up on Lake Michigan, across from Chicago in the town of NB, Michigan.

Thanks, Mario. That is high praise, indeed, coming from an accomplished composer as you.

A lovely song with strong lyrics and vocals. I like the jangly electric 12-string Rickenbacker-like guitar backing which is a positive and dominant feature of this song. It is reminiscent of The Byrds, as several people have commented. The guitar breaks and reverb/delay effects are good too.
I know how frustrating it must be for songwriters and musicians to suffer from hearing problems because I periodically suffer from eczema in my ears which can sometimes cause infections. I'm never more miserable than when I'm unable to properly hear the music that I'm trying to create. Glad that your hearing is getting back to normal.

Great sound on a bittersweet tune Scott! Vocals are really good and I thing the chords switching to minors are very effective! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Scott,
After reading all the true and nice words that's being said about your song, I don't know what to add on that! I can only agree that you made a very nice song with strong lyrics. And, maybe because of my ears, I didn't notice any unstable issues in it. It's a typical, very sensitive, Ezekiel's song and I like it.
Hans

Hi Scott,
This is really nice.
I love the groove that you've used and the instruments you have gathered for the arrangement. Your singing fits so very comfortably in amongst the 'band'. The mix is excellent and your vocals shine. I listened on speakers and there's nothing that I'd change.
Another terrific song to add to your already fine collection.
All the best, Noel

Pretty song!! I can hear the Echo influence (that 12 string folkrock thing/harmonies). Organ works well with the style too! Really nicely done in every way!! Take care. Greg

I got to get back to the UK and have one of those great ales at a free house pub (I think that's what they are called.) It's been a couple years.
