Scott, Very creative piece of music. 3 spins, still sounds fresh  Super vocals. Bass is awesome. Drums sit nicely. They are modern, but not "in your face", which I like as it allows to focus on actual song and not get carried away by rhythm. "Modern Archaic" LOL, I know the feeling! Enjoyed my listen and thank you for sharing. Misha. P.S. I hope NI Electric Storm at least as good as Sunburst. It's on my list, but wait for a deep sale.

Hey Scott,
Love the bass! I really like your vocal in this one too. Very strong. Excellent BGVs too. Good song, one of your best I think. Dave, thanks for the positive review!

Hello Scott,
A lovely song in all aspects!
I like how you sing the chorusses. You need a deep breath doing that...
The music (instruments) are working fine together.
Like Dave, I enjoyed that bass! Very nice.
And of course the lyrics... they are so well written, I am here!
Hans Thanks, Hans. Yes, I had to concentrate a bit more on breath control for the chorus.

Very cool tune, Scott! Nicely written and arranged. GREAT vocals, harmonies and BGVs. Especially love it when you bust the "turn around" lyric. Nifty sonic thump with those E. Drums and bass. Well conceived bridge. Just a super song, delivered right on the money. I'm with you on trying to get a more "modern" sound. No matter what the RealStyle is called, I still sound like un-modern me. Nuthin' wrong with that, though! Thanks, Ron. I prefer the un-modern sounds of all of us coots on the forum.

I have named the genre of this song Modern Archaic. Modern Archaic - the latest thing from the Jurassic period. With some modern sounds (harpsichord) from the late Baroque  I like it, especially the chorus is really cool and catchy. Earworm quality! The vocals are also great. Enjoyed my listen. A lot!

Modern Archaic? I'm in!! A fine production and a good write, Scott. Man, there is so much goodness in there --especially in the vocal. I love the subtle little pieces of instrurments that come out at just the right time. Very engaging mix. Oh, almost forgot to mention those outstanding lyrics. Thanks, Marty. I appreciate your positivity!

Whatever the decade, it's just a brilliant song. The vocals are great...Bowie-esque. Love the lyrics. It has beauty and uplifts. Well done. Beth, Thanks so much for taking the time of listen and comment on my song.

Electric Storm is a whole different beast, as far as sound goes, than Sunburst. It's got a lot of hard/heavy riffs that I don't know if I will be using, but you never know.

Yes, modern archaic sounds great!
We enjoy mashups and this does sound like 80’s music of Steve Winwood’s - cool.
Your vocals are strong and the bgv’s add a lot to the vibe.
We enjoyed the lyric, especially that last verse.
Great band, nice arrangement and the mix sets up an excellent soundstage on the Kalis.
Well done all around!

Ezekiel,
Well, if you wanted it to sound contemporary, you need to use a lot more loops and a heavy dose of autotune . . . I kid . . . well, kinda!
The song is excellent. Really catchy chorus, outstanding vocal (and nice use of BGVs). All the production elements work perfectly to my ears. Very cool tune!!

Came back for another listen and comment. I can't claim to have heard every track you've posted on the forum, but I've heard quite a few, and this is clearly your best to my ears. It all came together with I Am Here. I'm really blown away.

Very cool song, Scott!
I enjoyed the lead and backing vocals, and the melodic jump when you sang "or turn around."
Also, unexpected chord changes kept it interesting throughout. Very nicely done!
