To rework & remix...

Thanks David...
You are truly a gentleman & a scholar smile

I hope you enjoy watching & listening.



Dreams of You © J Hughes

When I close my eyes
And drift off in the night
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

When I go to bed
With old mem'ries in my head
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

Dreams of you
Help me through the night
When I'm lonely
And I'm feeling blue

When I close my eyes
With a heartache tonight
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

Middle 4

Dreams of you
Help me through the night
When I'm lonely
And I'm feeling blue

When I close my eyes
With a heartache tonight
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

Jim and David this is a great song and mix. Jim, your vocals were spot on and the lyrics are great. David's mix was perfect.

There's a lot to like about this song!
Jim & David,
A very smooth sound- that relaxed almost country crooner quality of Jim`s vocal is presented beautifully here.
I like the pure simplicity of the song and David has stayed true to the feeling in the mix.
Usually I can spot those Helicon harmonies but they blend well and maybe its the reverb gives the song that very smooth texture.
Good work- I Enjoyed!

Robert
Wow what a nice song. Super vocal and lyric. David did an awesome mix on this. Vocal sits so nice in the backtrack
I LOVE the sound of the BLOCKFISH compressor but I can't get it to run properly on my new computer.
This vocal is a perfect example of how well it can work.
Good song & performance Jim - clever mix David.
Jim @ David,
This came out very good! I liked original version, but David took this a Big step higher, not screwing up original vibe. Congrats to both of you and thank you for sharing!

Misha.
Jim & David,

Nice. Such a pleasant song...

A good re-do. Smooth. A good mix.

Wow, great job on the mix!

It was a good song before, but now it's at a whole other level, sounds fabulous.

Nice one Jim and David!
Wow this really sounds good.
I have the big speakers setup up in the garage and I turned it up pretty loud.
Amazing sound.
I was listening really close for the harmonies.
They sounded very natural and.

and a wonderful tune too!

Amazing! It is not a style of music that I usually listen to, but the quality of this song and the mix just shines. Very well done!

Will
Thanks for all the positive feedback!

And thanks especially to Jim for letting me play around with his lovely song. smile
This is such a lovely song. Sweet and simple and works to perfection.
And, as someone else said, the mix shines. I'm so jealous. smile

Going back for another listen now! smile smile
Well done...both of you.

A sincere write and vocal performance wrapped in an excellent production!

We are huge fans of open, airy mixes like this. Excellent soundstage.

Enjoyed it! Nice vid too.

Hi Jim, hi David,

waht a beautiful li'l love song. Jim, I always love the way you sing (whatever genre you surprise us with), and this kind of song is surely something that looks especially good on you.

Dave, what a flawless sound, really well-done.

Enjoyed the listen (and watch) a lot.

All the best,

Stefan

Steve
Very, very nice stuff!

I love the chord progression and the arrangement you've created.

Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jim and David,

You've both done a splendid job with this.

As I'm sitting here with my headphones on, listening, thoughts that are passing through my mind include: such a friendly and easy-on-the ears sound; I love Jim's way with words; David has created a wonderfully warm mix; Jim's singing always rings with honesty and sincerity; it's so easy to imagine this group just up in front of me; what a very relaxing groove; love what they've done.

In other words, you won me over.

Thank you both a really pleasant musical journey.
Noel
Loved it, Dave has skilz no doubt and Jim's voice is the most relaxing instrument I know.

Really pretty song!! It has such a sweet honesty and simplicity, like many of the old classics!! Really nice job guys!! Take care. Greg
Jim,

I really like this. I was singing along with you, and thinking to myself that I would like to cover this song sometime.

Great work!

Thanks so much for the kind comments you posted in my "Canvas" thread.

Scott
Jim,
Love it!
Great song
Beautiful! Deceptively, seemingly simple and simply beautiful. You've got one of those voices that actually COMMUNICATE the song you sing - and the song itself says it all without artifice and/or pretence. My kind of music! :-)
