Here Comes My Girl A little old pop song (that's been sitting on the Hard Drive for years) I was playing around adding a video to (youtube video only just over 2min). So essentially a video exercise but the song is a bit catchy (I think). Leon - Lyric and Vocal I added some guitar and keyboard. The Band - Lost in time but I think these midi tracks are included: Bass & Lead (88), Pad-Sweep (96),Echo Sweep (103). Other tracks Band in a Box except the guitar solos and the keyboard bit. Lyrics Pretty self explanatory (I don't have a copy to hand!).

Hi Peter and Leon,
Interesting concept. A different, modern, and catchy sound.
Looks like there's a little glitch around 0:04? Also, some of the drum brakes don't work out so well. You may want to keep the drums slightly more "static" here.
All in all well done. Excellent vocals, and as always cool lead guitar.
Rob

Very nice early 80's synth pop vibe, my favorite era, and positively reminds me of Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics. Strong rhythm and definitely catchy melody. Synths sound authentic and the guitar adds a modern touch. Lovely video supports the charming lyrics.

cool pop song. I like to browse my old work in progress folders from time to time but I haven't found any such gems yet. Good job.

Not sure if I completely get the song (I only understand parts of the lyrics), but that's a really catchy song, and the guitar is really cool.
I like it!
And I think the video works very well for this song.

Definitely has an early Eurythmics feels.
The guitar parts are ace.
My 1st impression was that Leon's voice should be heavily processed to give it an 80s feel.
Cool.
Cheers

Peter,
Love the music mix . . . really cool 80’s sounds—great beat and vibe. From a production standpoint, I’m not sure the vocal fits in the mix ideally, and early on in the song it felt rushed on a couple of lines. Maybe just a little EQ’ing and playing with the effects might get it to sit better . . . dunno. And then again, listen to what others have to say . . . lord knows, it may be just fine as is. Cool tune!
Best regards,
Deej

Peter and Leon,
The video that came up surprised me because I have never seen any video productions from you before, but you guys did a great job with both the video and audio! It is a catchy tune. Enjoyed it!
Thanks, Torrey

Peter & Leon, this is a fun beat that makes me move. You guys surround yourself with a great band and then cap it off with that WOW solo. I'vewatched the video 3 times so far. It's good, yeah, but that song is the real draw. You are correct: It is VERY catchy.
EDIT: Oh, wait. That was not meant to infer the video wasn't good. It was really good and had a lot of hooks to it too. Where did you find the clips?

Nice melody, very catchy as you said. It's a different style of music than I play, so this may have been intentional, but there seemed to be some hiccups with the drums here and there and the lyrics seemed a little rushed in places. I wasn't expecting the wah guitar and it was a nice surprise. I think it sounded really good, for what it's worth.

Leon and Peter this is fantastic.
Great 80's synth pop sound.
Super vocal, guitar licks, and keyboard all mixed to perfection.
Two thumbs up
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!
