Thanks Greg,
I was hoping someone'd tell me to pull the vocals back for a change.


Cheers

Ray,

I just listened to the remix. I think you have it spot-on. I don't think I'd change a thing at this point. You always make interesting and delightful music.

I guess I missed that little vocal tag right at the very end - cool! Your music is always interesting and enjoyable.

Nails the target sound, which is great. Took a while for my ears to adjust to the volume of the vocals.

Less love for the flat notes on the chorus. wink

I've never heard "chroma key" used in lyrics. Spiff!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Ray,

Yeah, I like this a lot. Nice 80’s alt vibe. It all sounds pretty sweat to my ears. Love the “Ghost in the house” hook, and the deliberate rhyme scheme. Cool stuff!!

Cool tune Ray. Got a bit a late 60's Byrds vibe. Really well done

Cool! We definitely feel the 60’s vibe and maybe the Kinks as well as the Byrds.

Your lyrics are always thought provoking and we enjoy that.

Anthony’s vocals fit the lyric well. Pitch notwithstanding we felt they sat well with the gritty tracks.
Interestingly his phrasing reminded us of somebody else!

Your multiple track performance, Anthony's lead and the mix all sound excellent.

We enjoyed the cool video also. Happy Holidays Ray!

Hi Ray and Anthony,

When listening to the song I was amazed how different (and bright) Ray sang.
Then I noticed I overlooked the contribution of Anthony on this matter. He was the singer!
So, no wonders on the vocal part after all, but wonderful how nice the songs sounds!
A very good composition and performance.
I listened severall times to it, and now the ghost won't leave my head!

Great song, Ray. Really good!!!
(It could be that spirit that urges me to write this down...)

Hey Ray, you got a good one here.
I don't follow all the lyrics but that's OK.
I get a good 60's vibe . . . great collab and love those drums.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Ray & Anthony,
cool tune!
Anthony’s vocals was a very good fit. Nice contrast between heavier background. Nice bass playing and looks like you invested a lot of time on drums. Neat guitar solo.
Tweaked version sounds best to my ears. Fun video.
Thank you for sharing,
Misha.

Ray,

I enjoyed this up-tempo tune, especially the key changes on each chorus. They added a nice energy boost, as did the vocal harmonies.

Tasty guitar solo, too!

Cool song. I love the 60s and 80s sound and that sticky chorus. One of your best compositions.

"frames of we" ?

My preference would be to tune the vocal some. They are just enough off in spots to get under the skin. But that's just me.

Ray, this sounds great.
For sure a 60's vibe.
I wouldn't change a thing and that includes the vocals.


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.
