Of course, I love this song --even when it was an instrumental called Floydian Storm. But the coolest thing about it for me is seeing how Chris & Dave work so well together. It's almost like one of those time-lapse videos of a flower blooming. It starts with planting the seed when Dave asks Chris, "DO you want to do something with this?" After an enthusiastic reply, it starts to grow through the dirt, then rises to the sky and finally opens to a breathtaking flower. That kind of magic is enthralling to be a part of.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks for the listen and kind words, Dan!

Thanks very much, B.D.!

Working with Chris and Marty is a blast, we have lots of fun working on these songs together.

Mr Bassman - well it was his sound that set up the image in my scone of the trio playing on stage.
3.24 and that guitar is knocking on doors again.
Christine's floating vocals over the final solo are AMAZING.
Methinks I like it.


Wow, thanks Ray! Made my day when I read that.

Ha....

Cool....I guess you're an old fossil too if you remember The Doors. smile

Back to it....


I'm definitely a child of the 60's which makes me old, and possibly also fossilized eek

I remember seeing the Beatles on the Sullivan show back in '64 like it was yesterday, what a game changer that was! And also remember seeing the Doors on that show doing Light my Fire, probably '67 or so I guess. I've got every album they ever did on vinyl. Love their moody tunes especially, Riders on the Storm of course is a classic.

Cool riff in the intro Dave. Love how you mixed it. Super vocal from Chris. Martys lays down a cool groove to the song. The drums were very cool as well. Excellent solo and love the bite in the tone. Well done...

Guitars are excellent, as are the vocals - especially the layered bit. Mix and arrangement sounds bit.

Moody and atmospheric - love it!

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

Hi Bass Thumper,

Thanks for your very kind words, very much appreciated!

As far as the mix goes, I always come back to the mix a week or two later after the initial release, I find after not hearing the song for a while I'll often hear things I missed the first time.

I haven't done that yet with this one, but I'll pay special attention to the bass when I do that, it's possible it could come up a db or two. Any more than that would affect the balance of the entire mix, and that's a rabbit hole I want to avoid wink

Thanks again, I see you have a new one up, I'll be over shortly to give it a spin.

Very beautiful mood, really enjoyed the melancholy guitar sound and the theme riff which took me to a dreamy place full of flowers (I'm glad there were wakening flowers in the video also). Marty's bassline is once again something to admire, like the tree of life in this musical paradise. Lovely harmony between all the instruments and vocals, all reaching for the same chi.

What does one say after Ray's comments? He mentioned all of the goodness!
So no need to parse this one out ... ALL of the vocal/instrumental performances are stellar. As is the mix (outstanding drum choice too).

Both the song and the video are simply captivating! As Chulaivet said, it is mesmerizing.

And the images in the video are a perfect fit to the audio and lyric.

Y’all really hit this one out of the park, Dave.

Enjoyed it!

If this is the result of noodling while your wife is watching coocking programs than she must be some coock to let you make this kind of songs.
In a way I am joking, but not on the song. Its just great!
Tell your wife to take a glas rode wijn, and you to and enjoy what you made.
It is a very good one, Dave!!!

Greetings to Chris and Marty,
Hans


Thanks very much, Hans! Oh, and we both had a couple of glasses of red wine last night BTW wink

I liked it, Tom


Hi Tom,

Well, Chris can write a complex set of lyrics as good as anyone and better than most. Her genius is that she knows when to keep it simple.

For my noodling guitar I use my tele. It's my best sounding electric when played unplugged, and I don't use it much for recording, just the odd rhythm track.

Thanks very much for checking out the song, happy you liked it!

A sort of early 70's feel, (sort of Savoy Brown).

Superb in many ways, lovely vocal, excellent bass, drums are very well done and some beautiful guitar.

Loved it.

Hi Janne,

Love the way you describe Marty's bass part: "like the tree of life in this musical paradise", that's great!

Thanks, very much appreciate the review smile

Dave / Chris,

You guys have such a defined sound. I would recognize your songs anywhere.

This one is another outstanding rock / blues classic. Love the production, guitar and vocal.

EXCELLENT!
