Cool rhymes, good narrative, excellent production, solid vocals, great mix. The switch from the sidestick provides a nice lift.

Everything is clear on my monitors, easy to hear. Just what I like in a mix.


Thanks!!

Love the alliteration, along with that phrasing.


Bill deserves credit for the alliteration. The phrasing is mine...

You've managed to mostly tame that Dire solo guitarist, but he's so busy I'd give him even less to play.


That Dire lead IS hard to use - because it always sounds like "an imitation of Mark K" (and is therefore, distracting - and often, just Wrong). I thought the fills actually worked in this context (without that sounds-like-Dire sense). Yes, the solo might have benefited from removing a few notes...

The major-7thy bridge was shorter than I expected - it's cool to break expectations.


In a me-being-clever moment, I decided to try to "match" the melody/cadence of the bridge to the lyric idea.
So that became...

don't let that dream get out of sight...Dreamy
catch it goin' by ...Snatch At It
and hold it tight ....Hold On....

Whether or not that worked is up for grabs. (of course, had I not "explained" it, it might never be "tested" - usually best to let such things run under the radar)

Bright, cheery and uplifting with a sax to close it out with jangly guitars - a fun listen that left me smiling. laugh


Couldn't ask for more.
