In the comments, David describes the song as 'immersive'. I totally agree. A song to loose oneself in. Outstanding singing and playing as per usual. Very much enjoyed.
Regards,
Leon

It is different from a lot of your songs. Not a typical Blues. The 'heavy' sound of the piano in (some) contrast to the beautiful vocals gave it that intriguing sphere.
You never disappoint me with your songs!

Hi Hans,
Yes, it's definitely not blues. Not sure what genre it should fall under actually ;P
Thanks, happy we didn't disappoint!

Good choice of the band and the singer is faultless.
Congrats to all involved.

Excellent performances across the band.
Love the bvox.
The vocal level drops for a couple of words at "sunlight" 1.12 and around 1.29 a similar thing occurs.
It does add to the dynamics so I may be missing the point.
Lovely work - cool song.


Cheers

David's Pink Floyd reference was spot on.

We like the way Chris's piano and vocal sit on top of the mix
presenting a great blend for the haunting feel of the lyric.

Dave and Marty? Just spin the superlative wheel and pick one.

Looking forward to the video and much enjoyed the audio!

Loved this from the git-go. The mix is spot on. The vocal is outstanding as are the guitar parts. Marty's bass fits like a glove and oh so good.

This is definitely a winner and IMHO your best to date.


Not sure that it's our best, but happy you liked it wink Thanks!

I never seem to remember the actual lyrics of your songs, because I'm so caught up on the mood and sound.

It's as much an "experience" as a song. laugh


Thanks, David!

All my best,

I always recheck my mixes a few weeks after the fact with fresh ears to make sure I didn't miss anything, and I've made notes of your comments so I'll check that specifically when the time comes.

Thanks as always for your great feedback, Ray, I appreciate it!

I usually don't read the other messages but I did this time and one word keeps coming up: haunting. I think if you can embody a song with a strong feeling like that, you've accomplished a lot. Well done to all the members of Blue Attitude!

Better late than never 0r never better late. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLWEuccD8Ck Man, the songs are so much easier to do than the videos.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Dave. Chris and Marty,

What a pretty sounding song! Chris's vocals are always some of the best presented here! She has a really interesting style that just grabs the listeners attention! I often am reminded of Ann Wilson when I hear her. Dave you always seem to give the right touch to what is needed in a song with your guitar playing. What you put down here is excellent again! What a player you are! Marty is such a great addition to your ensemble! He again has provided a pro sounding contribution here with his parts! Super job! T

Good mix.

Nice.

Agree with all that!! You guys pretty much nail it every time!! When I heard Chris a few years ago for the first time, I thought she was a solid singer, but man she gets better and better, and is killing it these days!! Great job guys!! Take care. Greg

Sorry for being late for this one, but it deserves more praise. I really like the dark melancholy mood - because it fits with the winter darkness in the Northern Europe and the beautiful chord progression reminds me of musical style used here.

Nice delicate singing and the backing vocals work very well, I enjoyed the lyrical landscape also, kaleidoscoping - clever idea for a verb. Great band, the lead guitar plays very emotionally. Very touching song overall and gets better on each listening.
