Ray, the write, vocals, bass, your guitar, his guitar and that RD all sound superb. This is a classic example of a great mix and the
soundstage that it should present.

We ALWAYS like your vids and this is no exception.

This was indeed well worth the wait. And a heckuva return to vocals for Tony.

Great listen/watch!

Ray,
I think the clean vocal processing suits the pop side of this song... which has a good melody ( the vocalist delivers... and I would have liked to hear Misha sing, of course!)
A fine production in all respects.

I quite enjoyed the guitar sound here along with the bass line. Pleasant melody. I too would like the vocal brought forward just a smidge. Groovy song!

Hi Ray,Bob & Anthony,

all the good things have been said - I can only agree on everything: a terrific song, the vocalist did a good job, fine hob on the guitar. And the video is proof that it doesn't take the big toolbox to put a really interestimg and nice one together.

Good job, gentlemen!

All the best,

Stefan

Thanks Ezekeil's storm,
The vocal level was the singer's preference.

Janice & Bud,
yes, Tony was rather nervous about putting this song into a recorder...he'd embarked on a cover song per letter of the alphabet journey last year and had to put that on hold and this track was the first time he raised his voice in song for many months.
Any slight uncertainty he may have felt seems to have enhanced his interpretation of the words.
THANK YOU for you ever supportive commentary.


Cheers

Thanks Robert,
Tony's voice is excellent clean though I have scuzzed it a bit when the song needed it.

rayc,

Like this one a lot. Real nice vibe to it . . . an early R.E.M. feel to it musically. The vocal has a nice tone that sits well in the mix. Good tune right here—enjoyed it!

All my best,

Deej
