I had listened to the song on the computer
It sounded so good that I immediately listened to it in my living room over my stereo.
The sound is excellent
The guitar solos played really great
What I like about this song is that it is faded out
This always fits great with this kind of music
Great work Torrey
Many greetings
Andi ;-)


Thanks Andi! I always appreciate your comments! T

Excellent tune to start my day. Classic R&B sound. Composition and vocals are brilliant. Listens very well. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

P.S. There is a small brass section at about 0.58, which is interestingly shifts groove a little. I think it could be fun if it sort of repeated in different sections throughout the tune.


Thanks Misha! The brass is actually repeating all throughout the song but in a lot of places it is obscured by everything else going on with vocals and guitar fills. T

[quote=floyd jane]Torrey,

I remember this! Terrific catchy melody.

Drums sound GREAT. Punchy, melodic Bass. Nice guitar. The horn accents are well done.

Excellent vocals and BGVs.
There were times that I thought the vocal seemed in-a-different-space than the instrument mix. That feeling seem to come-and-go as I listened (several times - first on monitors, then with earbuds).

Good music - as always. Love listening to your stuff...

Thanks Floyd! I was trying out a new effects chain for the vocals ( I have since re-posted with a different one) and it was probably the reason things seemed a little "off", especially when the double tracked parts came in.

Several times I could have sworn I was listening to the Eagles with Don Henley singing and Don Felder on lead - which is a very good thing.

Best Regards

The main vocal is rather dry compared to the band and the backing vocals........works perfectly!

Hi Torrey,

I also remember this song. I was impressed then by the smooth melody you brought/bring so catchy to us/me.
In other words, I was a littlebit jealous and wanted to make something like your melodies too!
Well, nothing much has changed; the remake is also very good and catchy and it's a great swinging song.

Oh..., well one thing changed; I'm not jealous anymore, because I accepted I can't reach the hight you have in the vocals ;-)

We are R&B fans and also the Doobie Bros so this works for us!

Engaging is the word for us ... from the intro to the fade.

Vocals, lyric, melody, your instrumental performances and the mix are all ace.

Enjoyed it!

I agree with Firesong: This has a Doobie Bros feel. Soulfully sung. This would have been a top 40 staple back in the day. Love the guitar bits.
