Chris, Marty & Dave ...
Sounds like Sade and Knopfler happened to meet at a recording studio and had some time on their hands and this just happened - turning those minutes of "downtime" into "funtime".
I was gonna mention, individual things I enjoyed about the song. But I then realized would simple have to link back to the song because everything is near=perfect. Kind of moody, like so many Dire Straits songs as Chris' vocal bring outs that mysterious and captivating vibe of Sade's fabulous vocals.
The drums and that Godin simply shine. And the bass lays the foundation for everything else and does it so well.
Great song and presentation. Excellent!!!
Alan Really appreciate that, Alan, thanks! We hear a most cool blues rock ballad with an island edge ... Janice received a lot of ocean vibes  Chris' vocal is sublime with such a light delicate feel. The scats are most cool. Nice harmony. The drums and whoever that bass guy is work together wonderfully. And perfecto guitar chops for the vibe. This is a great addition to a mighty fine catalog! Yeah ... we enjoyed it, J&B Yeah that bass guy is not too shabby!  Thanks, guys!

Fantastic song. Super drums and groove. Outstanding vocal and guitar chops.
This is a great song! Appreciate that, thanks, Mario! Hi Dave, Chris and Marty,
When the song started playing I had to think of Santana, Oye Como Va. Same vibe there.
Than you went on your way making that lovely laid back song.
The drums are the only ones 'noisemakers' with a smacking beat once in a while (if you understand what I'm saying here).
You never disappoint me with your songs and you know that.
I always enjoy Chris's vocals. They stay on the same high quality as years back! Admire that and love them. You can tell her!
Have a nice day,
Hans
Good to see you here, Hans, thanks for the listen and comments! Hi all great job perfect vocal love the guitar phrases bass is awesome great stuff guys and gals thanks for sharing Eric Cheers, Eric!

Cool tune, literally, with great vocals and guitar. Can't beat it! Thanks, TM! Oooo, I like that opening rhythm guitar. Nice sound.
Chris's vocal sounds really good.
I think somebody might have already said it, but this recording sounds pro all the way: the guitar, bass, vocal, and mix. Good songwriting too. Thanks for the listen and the comment on the mix! Hi Chris, Dave and Martym
just the right song after the coldest May for decades over here...
Nice tune, it rolls like the waves (ha).
Chris, your vocal is always great (nice BGV, too, Dave!). Good choice of RTs and BEAUTIFUL work on the guitar..
Marty, could a bass line be any more solid? NO !
Stay safe, y'all,
Stefan I wasn't sure about the BGV so thanks for mentioning that. Good to see you back here, Stefan! Hi All
IMO "Down by the Sea" has a Sultans of Swing vibe . Always great vocals . The guitar solos on all your tracks are a highlight for me.The "unplugged" sound of the guitar suits this song.Perfect bass. Snare is a wee bit loud for my ears but no biggie. Nice cheerful easy listening song .You guys and gal have a chemistry happening which creates an attractive unique sound .
. Kudos
Gary. Thanks, Gary!

You guys did well!
I'm hearing this as a beachy TV show theme song!
Everything sounds great, mix is like a well prepared meal, very tasty!
moto Appreciate that, thanks! Nice summer song. Great for cruisin'. Great playing and vocals. Well mixed. Another great collaboration. Good job folks. Thanks for stopping by, jpt*3! Hi, Dave, Marty and Chris,
This is fabulous.
It transitions from a pure Santana intro into the song song that Fleetwood Mac never wrote.
I've said before that Chris can sound very like Christine McVie (or Christine Perfect as we used to know her)
and this is a beautiful vocal performance.
A terrific backing track with excellent work by Marty, underpinning the whole thing.
Wonderful guitar from Dave, who never disappoints - cool sound from that Godin.
Loved it.
ROG. Great review, thanks ROG! BlueAttitude,
Man, do I love listening to your work! Always so clean and magnetic on the production. Terrific write, Chris’s usual stellar vocal, and music backing that so perfectly comes together to embolden the lyric. Like the backing vocals that kick in on the chorus, and that lead guitar is just excellent—had a Mark Knopfler feel to me. LIke this one a lot!
My regards to you all,
Deej A few people have mentioned the Knopfler thing. I listened to Dire Straits a lot back in the day, one of my favorite bands. Thanks, Deej!
