This is another road trip love song. And it sure was a task putting this together. But it's finally presentable. I deleted more tracks than I've ever done in the process. I finally found the right tracks to make this happen. Some of the track info got lost when I deleted tracks (*). I hope you enjoy this. Feel free to comment. So here's the important stuff: BB tracks Guitars: 649, 4492, 1850, 1025 Bass: 995 Mando: * pretty low in the mix Drums: RD Nashville Pop B3: 686 Vocals: Solaria Lead and other misc clean guitars: Me & Spark40/Tele Get Lost Get Lost (With You) [Verse] City lights are fading fast Let's run loose forget the past Hand in hand we trace our way Through the night let's slip away [Verse 2] Mile by Mile we feel so free With you here it's all I need Whispers travel in the air Together we’ve got no cares [Chorus] I wanna get lost with you Find places we never knew Just me and you in the groove Get lost together with you. [Verse 3] Maps and plans we leave behind In this world just you and I Every step a new surprise In your eyes my love resides [Verse 4] Through the night till morning light Side by side we'll find the light No direction we don't care As long as I'm with you there [Chorus] I wanna get lost with you Find places we never knew Just me and you in the groove Get lost together with you. Oh Oh Oh Oh V4 Chorus

Herb,
Love this! The track has such a great contemporary sound. The mix is tremendous - big & full.
Solaria sounds strong singing this piece - great phrasing. You have an excellent touch with Synth V.
Really enjoyed this.
Bob

Herb,
So, what's not to like about this? I would say, "Not a thing." Every track contributes as I suspect you intended it to.
This has a contemporary sound that would probably do well on both the country and pop charts. Your music is always well worth the time to listen. This one put a smile on my face.
I've done a lot of traveling in my time (42 countries and all but 2 states) - i can empathize with the desire to go anywhere with some you care for - and to keep gpoing wherever.
Nicely done in all respects.

The treat in this one is your lead work.
Ace work on the synth vox. Nice progression under the chorus too.
Cheers

Herb, super song! Toe tapping fun and very hooky with killer lead guitar fills. The vocals sound great and the overall mix is sparkly. You're playing the music my ears want to hear. Love it!

Herb, this sounds fantastic
I thought that was a real singer until I reread your post - brilliant work
Loved your guitar tone and chops
Nice stops
Great mix

I'm almost satisfied with the guitars on this. There's always something I think I could have done better when I listen. I'm glad you like it.

Bob Thanks Bob. I've been working on getting more contemporary with the sound. And it really doesn't require a lot to get a full sound. People think it takes a bunch of tracks but it really doesn't. Anyway, thanks for listening and commenting.

Really well produced positive love song. Solaria works really well on the vocals.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Hi Herb,
Love the hook! That's something you don't hear that much these days, but really adds to the song.
Guitars overall sound great. Vocal sounds great too, very natural.
Good song!

WOW, this is a knock-me-off-my-seat-and-get-me-on-my-feet kinda song. I'd love to take a road trip with ya, Herb. This is such a good write. Not sure of the bandmates you fired, but the ones you finally hired are just perfect. Love the lyrics and the melody you made for them. You've really found the magic button on these synths. Guitars are perfect in their response. So well played.

Alan Thanks Alan. I've had the philosophy for a long time to add nothing to the music that isn't necessary. (see my signature below) Less is more in many cases. Thanks for listening.

Hi, Herb.
Nice pop - as the songs says, "Everything in the groove". Easy on the ears, bops right along.
Everything a pop song needs to be.
