In a moment of forum confusion we reviewed this version before the earlier post. So we’ll get to V1 albeit a backwards journey. Update: We listened. Regarding the chaos or mellow vibe. Hmmmm ... reckon it depends on the mood of the listener.  We enjoyed them both. ---------- Your vocals are very good! This has a Wilco vibe to it in lyric and sound - a good thing in our book. So many good lines, for example: “I gotta live my life in colors other than blood red.” AND “But like a fragile sweater, I’m just pullin’ at the thread.” Since DS made such a small contribution we won’t mention it. Well maybe Cool collab! Sing more! J&B Thanks, J&B! Any reminder of Wilco is really flattering so I'm e-blushing for sure. All credit for V2 goes to David and his mind melting vision of what might be. I still scratch my head and wonder how he heard THAT when listening to V1...

Psychedelic! Excellent job! Loved it. I'm not going to analyse this further, because I just sat back and enjoyed, let it all wash over me. Trippy Great job, both of you.

Interesting changes.
I though things were awry with the progression when it was running through before the vocal...hen the vocal came in and I realized that David's timing was & had been in synch with the vocal phrasing - like a glove.
Sounds British jangleland to me & the vocals being "within" the band works well, - cooool. Thanks, Ray! Yeah, David's doing some advanced timing and layering things I can't do with or without BiaB. A real eye opener for me.

Ron and David,
Well, simply put, this one speaks to me. And I like what it's saying.
There's something about a 12-string that, when used properly, can add a whole new dynamic to a song. That's what I'm hearing here. It's a great song with great production. And I agree with David - your vocals are pretty danged good! I like the slightly mysterious sound of this one - very interesting. Another great listen from a talented source!
Alan Thank you, Alan! I agree with you on the quality of the 12-string and the overall production. Not buying the comment on the vocals though. Ha!

Ron (and David):
This is outstanding. I mean, like professionally first rate. Terrific write, excellent production. lI didn't hear the first version . . . but can't imagine it getting any better than this. KILLER!!!

Nice song, Ron!
I liked the vocal harmonies, jangly guitar and mellow vibe.

I'm rarely one to be on the fence about anything, but I like both versions and think they both have merits. I appreciated the clarity of the very good vocal in the first version, though some apparently feel it isn't sitting in the mix as well as it could be. The second version is a very nice production and feels more British-y to me. The vocal sits nicely but I wish it were louder. It may all be due to my aging ears. Good job on both, release a single, see where it lands on the charts. If it flops, try the other one. ; ) THANKS, Rob! Funny, but I most always love my demos. Probably because that's a snapshot from when the song was born, and I'm like a proud parent. But songs, like kids, grow up, often in brilliantly unexpected ways. And so we have version two. David killed it, IMHO. Can identify with aging ears...and everything else.  A single?! That would be cool, though also brilliantly unexpected. Appreciate the listen!

Fun re-take / collaboration . Definitely richer and more nuanced. However, I think vocals got a bit buried. In any case, it's a cool and special tune. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. THANKS, Misha! Will reflect on vocal levels with David. Yes, I think it's cool and special, too.

Well, ya know, I loved the 1st one and I'm still pretty partial to it, but this departure is also fun. Thanks, Beth! I think of the first version as a colorful caterpillar, and this one as a butterfly. I had a lot of fun doing this with David, so nice that the "fun" filters through to the listener.

That jingle jangle guitar had me hooked at the beginning. This is my kind of song! Kudos to Dave's guitar playing. Excellent, excellent vocal and BGVs.

Not being able to sit long at a computer lately, it's such a cool treat to see Dave Bell with Misha, and now you with David Snyder. GREAT choice. BETTER, but you're right not the same song. Man, I love what you did. David has a ton of talent, and combine that with yours has got to be better. THis song can't get any better now. THANKS, Marty! I agree with you on David's talent. He really pegged the meter on this one. Hi Ron, and David,
I liked that first version, but -like all others- this one too. It has it's own character, so almost became a new, lovely song!
It would also be nice if you both sing in another song. Maybe that's cool to, because of your vocal differences.
Enjoyed it a lot, Ron (and Dave),
Hans Thank you, Hans! Yes, it's a new song for sure. Would value the opportunity to work with David again on something again. Who knows?!
