Hello Torrey
This is an absolutely brilliant song
You sing it so outstanding
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

Torrey, Either I did not hear original (which is unlikely), or it went through some serious changes as it sounds brand new to me  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.

Hi Torrey,
Very professional production, excellent vocals and tasty lead guitar.
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
Nigel Thanks Nigel for the awesome comments! T

Torrey, this is R&B at its best and it should be given radio air play.
This is pro all the way. Loved that chorus!
Super guitar, excellent vocal,great lyrics and the perfect backing band all sounding like it was mixed in a pro studio.
Loved it! Thanks Mario for the super comments! I appreciate it! T

I don't remember hearing the first version so it's all new to me. It is really smooth rocker. Hall Oates or some similar style. Good use of the band and wonderful guitar playing. Good one. I like it. Thanks jptjptjpt! I appreciate it! T

Very catchy rhythm and the melody in the chorus definitely creates the perfect earworm --something that continues long after the song ends. Excellent solo. So good all around, Torrey. Thanks Marty! I always appreciate your comments! T

Well done!
I like the way the vocals sit in this.
The main vocal is rather dry compared to the band and the backing vocals........works perfectly!
Moto Thanks Captain! Yes this one required a dryer. Tighter effect for the vocals. T

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.
