Loved it.
Thanks very much, Mario. Yep, navigating the bumps and adapting to the flow. Nasty business.

The mix on this is truly outstanding. It sounds like it was cut in a pro studio.

LOVED everything about it!

Thanks, Bob. I guess that's my behind-the-wheel voice. There's a new character for each song. hehe

One thing I noticed - the rhythm guitar on the left sounded like it lost its timing in various sections, or at least wasn’t quite on the beat with the rest of the band - at least to my ear.

But overall, a really cool song, and I can still hear it playing in my head even now. Good video as well.

Thanks, Andrew. That yodeling is accieved by sticking my head out the window at 65kph. Good ear. I think that guitar on the left jazzes up the chorus, partly because of BiaB's pushes. I felt it was just another bump in the road. hehe

Thanks, Bob. Yep, I drive fast. Those tricks are likely just something accidental that comes out of this old mouth.


Enjoy whatever happens!
