This song has always reminded me of The Byrds music for some reason. So I tried to emulate what I thought it would sound like in their style. Vocally it's my guys (Single Heart) me, Gene and Bob...not that we could match them vocally but it's our best shot...what do you think? Always, if you do...thanks for listening. Dan

Nicely done, very pleasant lead vocal & harmonies and a good Byrds vibe.

Enjoyed it.

Nice! Pleasant sound, nice harmonies, and era-appropriate sounds.

I was going to say the vocal might be a bit quiet, but I listened to some Byrds songs first.

And I've got to say, you mix is better than theirs!

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

Thanks so much David...it's very encouraging to know that I can mix better that the Byrd's sound engineer smile

Very, very nice song. I can identify with it personally. Listening to the blend of the vocals with those words provided great visuals for me. I listened to it 3 times in a row and it just got better each time. Back when Chris Hillman (former member of the Byrds) was singing with The Desert Rose Band, I spent some time with him in Tahoe. Chris was the major songwriter for that group. That band had some great musicianship, but I never identified with any of his songs like I did this one. Thanks for posting it. Great job.

Thanks so much Brad and bloc-head...you guys are very gracious with your comments...I loved singing with and writing for "Single Heart" all those years...we traveled a lot of roads and made some great memories together in music and otherwise.

Your vocals are outstanding, all three of you should be very proud

Great lyrics, backing tracks, and an outstanding mix

Loved it

Another really pro sounding offering. I'm not sure how these are being produced (i.e., are you putting old acapella recordings to current BIAB tracks or are these entirely new recordings)? Either way, they are very well written tunes and high grade production. Good work.

jtpjtpjtp...Almost all of the songs I am posting are old recordings that I am "ripping" off of older recordings (as the original tracks I do not have access to anymore for various reasons)....I use Steinberg SpectraLayers 8 software to extract the vocals from the old songs...I then build BiaB tracks to fit the vocals in key and style...it's probably the most fun I've ever had mixing music!
