Lee,
Nice tune, I enjoyed your vocals, arrangement and the tasty BIAB lead guitar.
Excellent mix and chord changes, too! A11sus2? I didn't know such a thing existed, so thanks for expanding my musical horizons ;-)

Lee, as I drink a lot of coffee I can relate to this song
Super vocal
Great backing band with an outstanding lead guitarist
Great mix
I liked it
Tips on how to fall asleep in a living room chair:
1- Be old
2- Sit in a chair
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Thank you Bob.
Glad you enjoyed the song and the arrangement. To be honest, I didn't know there was an A11sus2 either. What I tend to do is play around with different fingerings of a root chord until I find a chord variation that I feel lends to the song tonality. I then look up the fingering in a chord database to find out what it's called...ohh, that's a A11sus2. This gets me out of the standard major and minor range, if I feel the song needs it.
Thank you for your kind comments and listen. Kind regards

Thank you Mario
Yes , it's a theme that a lot of people can espresso with. I was pleased too with the lead guitar, it was a lot better than my original take. My original was a darker brew.
Thank you for your kind comments, much appreciated. Kind regards

Hi, Lee.
Interesting to see how far you can keep one chord going. Not many singers in that range, either!
And definitely some interesting rhymes: prolapse/synapse/relapse.

Lee,
Very cool sounding song. I dig your vocals.
The melody and organ together haave a nice Pink Floydish quality.
Nice use of BIAB. Solo guitar is cool...
Mix sounds good.
Enjoyed the listen.

You've got a prog rock thing going on here. Cool bit of instrumentation. I never acquired a taste for coffee, but I get my caffeine from alternative sources.

Hi David,
Upon reflection perhaps I have milked the A chord variations to the nth degree, before relenting to a Fmaj. But as long as there’s enough tonal differences then why not? Certainly I was comfortable in that vocal range, there wasn’t any straining compared to some other songs.
Thank you for the nice feedback David. Kind regards.

Hi there Floyd
Generally i’m not a big fan of the organ, but I think it’s worked well in this mix and is pleasing to my ear. Thank you for your comment on my vocals, they’re not always my strength but this range seems easier for me. Overall I think this BIAB remix/arrangement is an improvement on my original recording.
Thank you for your review and listen, Kind regards.

Thank you Mr Storm!!
I’ve probably only dipped my toes into the Prog Rock genre with this, but I can see/hear what you’re saying. Fortunately for me, coffee is a basic food group. I’d have no other vices left without it!
Thank you for listening and your review ES. Kind regards.
