Hans & Scott I agree with Nigel. IMHO the constant lead guitar, although excellent chops and tone, distracts from the vocal, i.e. more like you did toward the end of this.

Excellent song, strong vocal, outstanding guitar chops, and good lyrics make this a very good song.


Thanks Mario for checking out the song. Next song will have the guitar spaced out a little better

Your lyric writing is always top-notch, Hans --a brilliant thinker in my book. This song has a magically catchy feel, and an upbeat mood that begs for replay.


Thanks Marty for the kind words. I really enjoy working with Hans. Glad you liked the song.

Scott has developed an instantly recognizable style and sound which is an impressive thing in itself.

Well sung and composed.

"It is you, you are smiling
It is me, melting from the start
It is we, forever
That's going sky high straight to my heart"

Now that is a nice sentiment.

A signature voice and a signature guitar join forces for an enjoyable song!
Excellent guitar chops, lead/harmony vocal and a tight mix.

And the arrangement was very engaging. Cool changeup also.

Fine collab y'all!

Hi Janice and Bud, I do my very best on the lyrics since I can't sing like John nomore... That's why i am so glad to find Scott on my site. Not that he said a word about the lyrics, but that was enough for me. Otherwise he would have messed up with the solo too.
Have you danced on the second part of this song, Janice?
Wait till our new one comes out...

Hi Guitarhacker, although you said nothing about my performance, I'm still glad with your post. You liked the song and that's a good thing for me too. And yes, Scott had his solo almost at once, so the rest of the time was to mix the song in a proper way.
Thanks for listening.

Enjoyed your posts,
Hans
