That's strong.

Great to hear, especially from you.

BAND is nice. Good mix.

It's good to hear it works. I think I mentioned elsewhere that I tend to overdo my arrangements. This part of the songwriting business is especially a work in progress for me.

For my money, the shining star is the melody. Excellent.

I really appreciate that. I'd been working on a song off and on for a couple months, and started it again. The melody was pretty, but not compelling. So I finally dumped it and started this one from scratch, and tried to come up with something more melodically interesting.

The duet aspect is a nice touch, too...

That's one of the nice things about having multiple singers - different registers really show off counterpoint nicely, even if (as in this case) it's pretty minimal.

I got a bit silly with the stereo panning in the second verse, but no one's complained yet. Maybe they're just being polite.

The sound of this is stuck in my head long after listening...

Well, that's the gold standard for me for melody. That, and a positive floyd jane review! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
