Hi Alyn,
This is incredibly different from the other songs of yours that I've heard. I love the sound of Reggae. It always manages to make me feel good. All you need now is a couple of steel drums hammering away to add to the backgound!
Thank you for posting. You had my toes a-tappin'.
All the best,
Noel

Alyn - this is just perfect!
And I never knew the Welsh had such a history of reggae.
I loved it as soon as it started, but once the chorus kicked in I was hooked and I've been back for four listens already. Everything about it is just wonderful - that chorus is inspired and the solo exactly right.
It reminded me of happy childhood holidays dancing to the reggae on the beach at Llandudno.
Thanks for sharing this one.
ROG.

A very fun song Alyn... I don't listen to a lot of Reggae, so I can't compare it to anything; but I like that its different than what I normally listen to.
I basically agree with the song's premise, so you and I must think alike.
Looking at the instruments /RT used in the song: did you use one of the named styles for the song, or did you go from scratch assembling instruments that fit? If you used a style, I'd like to know which one, and if not, I'd like to say "Good Job" scouting for compatible sounds!

Noel,
Thank you for your praise. It is one of the few songs in which I only use Real stuff. Mainly because I couldn't get a good feel when I played it myself!!
ROG,
Coming from you, your praise is praise indeed, thank you.
Not a lot of reggae in Wales, well in this part at least but the thought/sight of you, in the rain, on the beach in Llandudno with dreds, shorts and hitting a bowling hoop with a stick cheers me up no end.
The solo was one of those moments when you go "YEH". I was getting fed up as nothing seemed to gel and then *wham* there it was.
Thank you both for the positive comments,
Alyn

Pat,
The only Reggae I really like is some of Bob Marley's stuff.No woman no cry, I shot the sheriff (not Eric's version) and The Redemption Song, which I think is one of the greats.
I started with a real tracks reggae style and rejected it almost immediately and just played around with RT's until I found one that "hit the spot". The reggae track 1158 was the main stay and so first, the bossa drums came next and it developed from there over a period of months!! I think I tried almost every RT and paid little attention to the recommended tempos.
The mixture of swing and even tempos seemed to make the feel infectious.
The song's subject was the main reason I wrote it ie "the change is when we lay it down" so we do think alike.
Alyn

dani48,
Thanks for your comments. I like songs for what they give to me so my taste is, like yours, somewhat varied! Thank you.
Sundance,
Thanks, coming from the "earworm" specialist (you) I treasure your comment!!!
jo131,
Thank you. I do like to be different.
Alyn

We really like this as we've listened to reggae off and on over the years. I really like the bossa/reggae blend. I've done some BIAB reggae and wouldn't have thought of that. Forgive me if I borrow your ideas sometime! Really fun listen all the way around!!

Alyn,
This is really nice. I like the way you incorporated the resonator guitar with the Reggae style. Unusual, but it fits. I like your vocals on this one too.
Steve

Janice and Bud, Feel free to borrow my ideas! Thanks for the kind comments. Steve, Thanks Steve, I still have a long way to go to the "purity" of your vocals! The resonator part was the 1st pass and I went YEH when I heard it as I didn't expect it to really fit. Country, Bossa and Reggae don't usually appear in the same sentence  Alyn
