WOW! Josie & Bob, that's a great song and a very nice performance by the both of you! Nice mix too. (love your band too BTW!!)

What acoustic guitar RT is over on the right side? -- I'm going to have to use that one somewhere! Real nice mix and overall sound. The vocals sound very good together. OK, which RT for the lead break, too (ha, ha). Simple tune with a nice melody -- well done.

OK, list all the dang RT's -- they all sound great!!

Very nice. Excellent quality on the vocals and the backing vocals are great. It kept stopping on my internet connection which spoiled it a bit for me. We must have a lousy internet in South Africa!

Kevin,

Thanks. That particular RT is #2051, which was also used in the break. Josie did a lot of editing on that RT to get that sound and feel. For the break segment, I ran the RT through an amp simulator in GarageBand to get the lead sound we were looking for. The overall RT package was Eagles Style 136. I can get you the exact file name later when I get home if you would like it.

Great work, guys! Nicely understated, with a dark undercurrent which is left unspecified.

At first. I expected to hear the Jimmy Clanton song... remember that one?

Guenter,

Thanks. Yes, Josie is Sundance.

Hi Bob and Josie!

It's good to see you back in action as a team again I enjoyed the song. Nicely done all round.

It’s all been said, excellent mix and vocals as always.

What took this one over the top for me were the lyrics. They are fantastic!

You guys have become quiet the songwriting duo. Thanks for sharing another piece of fine work!

Hi,
Only recently joined the forum so a first chance to hear your stuff. I really liked the feel of this song. The two voices work well together.

Some excellent lyric lines too.

I liked the sound you got on your voice. Willing to share what plug-ins/settings you use on your voices?

Bob & Josie,

I am a huge fan of your work, I think you know. I always say, you inspire me to be a better writer. This one is no exception. You just keep getting better and better.

Steve

Phil,

Thanks so much. I typically try to keep the processing around the vocals very simple and sparse. On this song I used a GarageBand preset, "live performance" to frame all the vocals and then applied an Ozone preset to the entire song to add polish.

Bob and Josie,
Another great one for you. I really liked the drum track. Perfect sound for the song.
Ends on the V chord. Very effective.

Everything about this song is great. It's a meditative song with the right beat, rhythm and style to compliment just that. It relaxes you to meditate, listen and get into the thought.

Great Job!

Hey, I can't get the tune out of my head.

I thought I posted earlier today but it didn't take.

I love the mix and the effort you made to stay focused on simplicity and taste.

It's very tasty both in style and sound. Very creatively done.

Great work!
