Hi All, Here's something short, simple and folky - this is called Ricochet. There’s an echo in my room Autumn on the mountain side Settle down boy She’s a ricochet The black shadow from your pen Paper words fade to grey Settle down boy She’s a ricochet The radio plays just for me Mind fixed on the songs refrain Settle down boy She’s a ricochet Blackbirds on a winter wire Somehow keep the cold at bay Settle down boy She’s a ricochet There’s an echo in my room Spring rain down the mountain side Settle down boy She’s a ricochet Settle down boy She’s a ricochet Settle down boy She’s a ricochet BIAB Tracks: 2914: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Folky16thsBrent 2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held, Ev 085 Chorus Loop: Chillout/Chillout_dimensions_145 RealDrums: PopPromiseEv16 Snare on 4 As always - thanks for listening!

Hi Bob,
This is a good song and well played.
Vocals - well sung and I like the "close mic" effect however I would take a bit of treble and compression off to expose more of your natural voice.
Well done.
Best Regards Nigel

Bob,
Great images, as always. You have a great "way with words".
I like it. It has "stuck with me". Always a good sign...
There is a good deal is sibliance to the vocal (not something I recall in any of your previous songs). It stole a bit of my attention as the song progressed.

Floyd,
Thank you. Yes, I was really up against the mic on this one. I also tried some new processing things, but not sure I like the result. I also think the vocal is a bit too hot.
Bob

It reads well. Really appropriate backing. yes, the close mic'd vocals seem to be triggering a few things but it's still sounds lovely.

Great lyrics, song and vox. Classic sound of your own. Can't beat that.

Lovely song, Bob, with your signature sound that I love. Only complaint, other than the sibilance which you already know about, is that it is too short

Ditto what Dave said. We want more. Again, not a bad thing to leave them wanting more. I won't beat you with the sibilance stick, Bob, although I probably just did. You know I'm a big fan of your vocals and this one is no exception. Still, the "simple and folky" worked really well, but the short didn't cut it. Great song!!

This is one cool song!
In addition to the fantastic lyric writing (love the concept), the melody and rhythm draw me in.
I enjoyed this.

Bob, Nice smooth ballad with great set of lyrics. Ace performance and mix! Listens well. I am not sure if you remixed it or not from initial posting, vocals did not sound hot to me. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
