Hi, Ron. Quirky write set to a quirky arrangement. Vocal delivery excellent as usual. I loved the feeling of space in the song. You create excellent pop!

Hi Ron,
Super song, write and production. I see Mr Dee likes the doot-doot-doots, he’s a doot-doot-doot man from wayback! I love the whole vibe and the phrasing, pauses etc. This is going on my favs list and is worth several listens, just to get more out of the lyrics and arrangement.
Love it Ron, kind regards. THANK YOU, Lee! Repeat listens is much better than being "Deleted". Ha!

Hi Ron,
Well, that is me something! An almost deleted song. Only kept the intended deed as a title!
Don't get too carried away, Ron. You'll be tempted to do so with all the rave reviews! I think it's a great song too, so those reviews are definitely valid!!!
Very nice lyrics and very well sung. That bass really works well the way you use it!
Yes, I really enjoyed your song!
Hans

Ha! I'm with the bro-in-law cuz I thought the song was deleted so I skipped this beauty when first seen. Man, I'm glad I checked again (cuz it's still here after being deleted --haha). Outstanding lyrics as only R.W. Davis can pen. I'm very glad you do the music, Ron; it makes for a terific partnership. Anotherr gem, and I hope you never delete it.

Ron, This is BRILLIANT! Love everything about it, great groove, great vocal, and those BGVs are too cool for school! Love the write too and the mix is as good as it gets. My new favorite from you, and yes, I know I've said that before  THANKS, Dave! Hi DC. Nice clean mix. Imaginative and entertaining.
Vic Hey, Vic. THANKS for the listen and positive feedback! Hi Ron. Your brother has written some really inventive lyrics, and you have set them against a fantastic melody. This is a super-creative arrangement with a brilliant overall sound. Right from the start I was captured and transported into the song. Your vocals (lead and background) shine. To me, it sound like quite a bit of effort went into shaping this creation into its final presentation. Kudos to you both. I loved everything about this --Noel Thank you, Noel. Like that it sounds like this took "quite a bit of effort" but I'm not sure it did. Getting backing track stems out of BiaB takes no time at all. Recording and editing the vocals takes the most time by far. I also listen to the final mix dozens of times in different environments, then remix and repeat. This last step is usually spread over several days. But it's my hobby, and I enjoy doing it. Besides, it's cheaper than golf.

A weird, different, unexpected song. That's why I like it The surreal lyrics are right up my alley, and your interpretation of them is perfect. Even without a proper chorus, it's incredibly catchy. Really, really well done, Ron ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) "Weird! Different! Unexpected!" Ha! I want to have t-shirts made with that on it. THANKS, B.D.! The choice of style is very good. The song is very pleasant to listen to; it's very airy and the vocals are excellent. It's very enjoyable.
Laurent Thank you, Laurent!

Hi Ron. Very neat lyrics! I like this! Great vox, great tracks overall. Nicely done! THANKS, Paul! Ron, I hope you never delete deleted!
This was hilarious, you have a way with words that is amazing
Great backing band and mix
Loved it
PS - Yes I do need help! Ha! Yeah, my brother can spin a lyric, can't he? And we ALL need help, RIGHT? THANK YOU for the listen, Mario! Cool song, liked the doot doots and the ending. Singing strong as usual, mix and master is nonpareil. I recently purchased some new audio gear and your song really sounds terrific through it. Timber and remember was my favorite rhyme. You're really on a streak of hits, way to go! Thanks, Rob! This is an example of a song where I wrote the ending first and designed the rest to lead the listener to it. Not a trick to deploy on every song for sure, but it has its place.

This is probably my fav from you so far!
Love the melody....very cool vibes!
The use of BIAB in this is masterful
No AI use encourages me. You certainly don't need it! Your vocal performance would not be improved upon by using it!
Great work! TB THANK YOU, Torrey. Most RealStyles offer a nice palette of sounds to draw from. Finding the right arrangement in a single RealStyle is a fun puzzle. Truthfully, I spend maybe 20 minutes in BiaB selecting the RealStyle, then it's off to the DAW for vocals. After lead vocals I'll create the final backing track arrangement and lay in the harmonies and BGVs. THANK YOU as well for the compliment on the vocals. Part of it is learning how to sing better, and at 68 I'm singing better than ever. Another part is taking the time to lay down a decent vocal. On days I can't sing well (allergies, air quality, etc), I just don't record. Like the weather, it will pass. Finally, and maybe most importantly, I've learned how to compose and edit my vocals more transparently. It's studio magic, but good magic the same. Glad you enjoyed the tune!

Once again an excellent song and great use of BiaB samples. The arrangement, mix and production are superb and those and your vocals create an unmistakeable style. THANKS, Chay! I know, I don't have MUCH style, but it's always unmistakable. Ha!

Fun "nerdy"/philosophical lyrics, lots of things included, so thoroughly pondered topic. "You try to find a trace of yourself online/But now you have been deleted" what a scary thought, but these Moltbook days this could be a story of an AI agent and for some reason, I'm now thinking the mystery of the deleted pair of socks in the washing machine Interesting arrangement which adds to the mystery. Great mix, nicely panned guitars. And the vocals and harmonies are guaranteed top quality. Janne

Yeah, funny how the song's title led me to another facet of what it means to be digitally deleted: The song was still there but looked like it wasn't. Had to laugh. Glad you enjoyed the tune!

“Like a flash in the pan or flash in the sky
To signal an upcoming storm
You circle your birthdate on the calendar
Even though you were never born”
We’ve long liked “connect your own dots” lyrics and this is a great one!
Excellent BiaB session folks.
The lush steel is one of our favs.
The mix and mastering are standout.
The tracks work well with each other.
And nobody is stepping on anybody setting up a fine soundstage.
Excellent vocal and Beach Boys tight harmony BGV’s.
The arrangement? Wow!
Great work and much enjoyed by us,
J&B
