Hi Floyd,
Excellent song and also good piano playing and vocals.
I must admit I was waiting for the bass and drums to come in but that's just me.
Also I would have liked the guitar solo at double the volume and half the reverb to match the vocals volume.
Excellent - would love to hear a remix.
Best Regards
Nigel
Nigel - thanks for listening and for the mention of the song and piano.
I cannot imagine listening to a production like this and having my thoughts be "waiting for bass and drums".
I chose to had a very subtle bass that simply played root notes. Under the piano and so subtle that you might have to Listen to hear it. I stand by that choice as a producer. The piano handles the bass just fine. The piano also handles the percussive side. If you were going to add drums to this, I'd be curious and interested in what you think that might be and what that might add.
Double the volume on the solo? That would make it so loud you couldn't hear anything else.
As far as I am concerned, the guitar solo is at the perfect level (the same level as the vocal).
Perhaps some weirdness in your listening environment causes the solo to seem low to you.
And the tone is perfect. Rich, emotional, crying. Just what I wanted it to be.
I've been steadily producing songs for over a decade (and actually started 40 years ago). In all that time and all the songs that I have produced, I am more satisfied with this production than any I've ever done.
There will not be a re-mix.
