Very nice pop song, reminded of bands like Barenaked Ladies and Lightning Seeds, so no wonder I enjoyed this so much. And when using 'stars' in the title, the lyrics cannot go wrong, nice wistful romantic scene, liked the use of the Rubicon  Very good production, really powerful drums. Great singing, those backing vocals sound excellent. Janne

I really like the simple band arrangement though that does allow the VERY clicky kick to stick forward like a metal track.
The cymbals get a little BIG at times.
Very cool harmonies.
A bit of sibilance that could be a result of the vocals being "Butch"ered, (sorry - bad pun and def not butchered).
Cheers

I resisted using the Butch Vig plugin for years because of the cartoonish interface. But once I tried it I found the layout allowed me to get to the sound I was looking for very quickly. Any sibilance is on me though and not the plugin. Sorry to be "Vig"orous in my defense of the plugin. Ha!

As others have said, great production, DC Ron! Consider changing the title to "The End of The Drive".

Hey, nice strat in your profile pic, love the colour. Lace Sensor pickups? Would like to hear it in action sometime. Thanks, Dave! The strat is a 30-ish year old Peavey Predator AX. The pickups are the original vintage wound single coils with no-hole covers. The look was almost certainly inspired by Lace Sensors, as they were quite popular back in the day. I like the four pickup layout and the neck is killer. Will certainly get it on a future track.

Dewey Thanks, Dewey! Your suggested title was my 2nd favorite for sure. A third was "Still Dreaming Here". They each put a different spin on it, don't they?
