Thanks Eric,
I enjoy playing codreggae...Bob Marley would be horrified but I'm not up with his chops.

Super groove, those choppy chords in the verses were brilliant.
Super vocal and mix.
Outstanding guitar and bass chops.

Mario,
Television were hugely influential on thinks that happened after 78 but aren't well know. Classic story of a US band doing better in the USA - like Buddy Holly, Hendrix, Creedence and the Beach Boys.

Speaking of which, the best vocal I've heard from you yet!
Good work!

Thanks david,
I've addressed the vocal level and will post an update.
Hope you're doing well.

See what others think.
Sounding great so far!

Thanks Deej,
I was very shy of the prechorus runs - my playing so a good reason to be nervous. You've boosted my confidence no end.

Hey Ray ...

This has a really cool arrangement! The guitars are perfect. And your vocal is just fine - pretty dang good, in fact!
Sounded great to me.

Another example of how to make relatively simple sound full and interesting. Good work!@

Take care ...

Alan

"Read your way in
Speak your way out
You can't make the changes
If you're crippled with doubt.
Hide in your own skin
Mute your scream & shout
You can't talk to strangers
On the roundabout"

What an entry to a great write! Shout/roundabout ... too cool.
Janice read it first before we listened and was smiling.

What a cool vibe to the song. Everything is in its place and your instrumental/vocal performances are ace!

"I used David Bowie's verse vocal from Space Oddity as the reference track. " Now that was an excellent choice!

"David did the solo & I scratched about to managed the rest"
The solo was perfecto for the vibe, the scratching worked out well, excellent soundstage and the panning was a good choice.

Kudos!
