Wow. What an awesome tune. Super vocal and harmonies Torrey. Marty and Dave were at their finest. Brought the song to life. Boy your harmonies sounded vary familiar in a good way but can't put my finger on it. Maybe a band called Streetheart. Very very cool..

Torrey, which DOD set did you use? I like that one. Did the structure of the DOD track influence the structure of the song?


Thanks Ray! I used the Top 40 set. I have a few of their sets and I think that one sounds better than the others. It didn't really change the direction of the tune. I already had it mapped out in my mind ahead of time and was fortunate enough to have what I needed to make it happen. T

Beyond the influences - you are a true original.

The use of stops is excellent. Marty's gorgeous bass accentuates them nicely (I thought the bass could be a bit louder). Dave's guitar work is killer. (ALL of your parts are good!)

Excellent vocals and BGVs.

Awesome music. A great listen. Terrific collaboration!!

(this forum is SO cool!!)

Loved it.

Thanks Floyd for the positive feedback! I was on the bubble about raising Marty's bass volume, but it seemed to muddy up the track a bit with even a minimal boost! The effects chain in the stereo master track is probably the reason for that. At some point I may try a different preset and see if I might be able to get better results. T

Very nice Beatles-type of rock song. Doesn't pale when compared to Paul McCartney songs. "so good" really shines all over in the positive lyrics, the super sharp rhythm section, Dave's playing, compelling vocals and in the crystal clear mix.

Torrey your songs remind me of all the things I like about that band without all the things I didn't. Brilliant.


Thanks Marty! I appreciate your willingness to help on this so much! Yes, I did let you know kind of what I had in mind for some of the bass lines, but the fact remains that you played them and did it in excellent fashion! Your bass always sounds great and I was proud to have it on this tune! T
