Another tale of lost love featuring _REMEX+ multistyle. Lots and LOTS of guitars and a lot of fun to use the multistyles to build the arrangement. Let me know what you think!

Ron,
Hard to believe no one has commented on this.
VERY nicely done!
A good BAND - punchy guitars and drums. Simple - and all that is needed - quite Full.
Good Song! Excellent Pop elements. Catchy.
Solid Mix.
Very nice vocals. Crisp, clear, easy-to-understand. Engaging. (I thought they could use a bit more reverb - they are so clear, they would easily handle that)
And Really nice BGVs.
I like it!
Let's hear some More!!!

Hi Ron,
I think this is a well written and mixed pop/rock song with really good vocals.
Could you share with us the RealTracks you used?
Especially the drums with those great fills!

DC,
This is well done, as Floyd said.
To his question, I believe I commented on DC songs a few times in the past but never got a comment back on one of mine as forum etiquette might have it.
But I will try again in case I am mistaken.
Good job.

David, THANK YOU for the listen! You're right, I was guilty of not commenting on reviewers' songs when I was last posting. Busy time then, different time now. But I do remember listening to many of your songs, so I know you have a sense of humor about things. I'll do better!!

B.D., THANKS for the comments! All the real tracks including drums came from the _REMEX+ multistyle, substyles a,b, e and f. [img] https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tkqnj9kscdq9bz3nii7oq/Shower-instruments.JPG?rlkey=tkja1gesnjv2oalgp0x9apz63&dl=0[/img] (I must not be loading images correctly since I can't see this) You'll see the guitar tracks in _REMEX+ are nearly consecutive, so I'm certain the cohesiveness of the guitar sound is not accidental.

fj, THANK YOU for the detailed input. The vocals are as you note pretty dry with just a bit delay and reverb. I fiddle with this part of mixing the most, and if I re-mix, it's to make the vocals clearer. But I may have to go the other way in this case. No doubt I'll dial it up in the next mix. Never, ever done...
Ha!

Hello DC Ron,
This is really high quality pop music.
Vocals, chorus, guitar, drums, etc. all play their proper roles.
It feels so good to listen to it.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best Regards.

Ron, what a great song!
Your vocal is perfect for this song.
Great lyrics.
The backing band is spot on for this pop song.
I also liked the chord progression.
Everything is mixed to perfection.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Everything is mixed to perfection. Thanks for the listen, Mario! Like a lot of BiaB users, I write on one instrument (guitar), move the chords to BiaB and start auditioning styles until I find one I like. Then sometimes I'll bounce back and forth between a couple, or combine elements from different styles. But this was the rare song where I got to this style and just stopped cold. It was all there. When it works, it just works.

Very engaging melody and lyrics. Thank you, Marty. I'll have to credit PGMusic with the lovely _REMEX+ MultiStyle, as there are no other instruments on this track. My job was just to conduct the band in support of the song. Glad you enjoyed it!

This has a great Jackson Browne vibe to it.
Excellent write and vocals wrapped in a nice dynamic open mix.
As others mentioned the drums really punch through well.
One of the better by far use of BiaB drums we've heard - they are all we use.
This is one of those tunes for which we had simply rather listen to again than parse it all out.
It's a terrific production.
Enjoyed it!
