As important as the vocal is, the best singer in the world can't turn a mediocre song into a good one with just a vocal. As Pat P. said when using one of his own songs as an example - and I'm paraphrasing in my own words - if more focus is on the singer's vocal performance instead of the song then something is wrong.

That's not the case here. Jason did a great job. He had a solid song to work with so it's a great marriage of singer and material.

Love it.

A+ from me.



We couldn't agree more with what taht said. She said it all. We loved everything about this one! Congrats on a terrific song!

Goodness me, Noel - I'm VERY late to the Party on this.
How could I have missed it?
A beautiful song and great lyrics.
Loved the mix and Jason has a good singing voice, just right for this song.
Maybe, just maybe, the infill guitars, whilst a super tone and restrained and thoroughly professional, are just a tad up in the mix. Just a tad. Only my opinion.
Thanks for that, Noel - it quite made my day.
cheers

Hey Bob,

Thank you for having a listen. There's nothing wrong if a song slips past you. I don't measure friendship by song comments, so all's well smile Things seem to move pretty quickly on the forum these days and I find it difficult to keep up with all the new songs myself.

I appreciate your positive comments. I'm gonna dream well tonight now, for sure!

All the best to you and Penny.
Noel

Hi Richard,

I also miss a lot of this forum. Despite all my good intentions to try and keep up with the pace of new songs, things slip past me.

Thank you for taking time to listen. I appreciate the positive comments.

All the best,
Noel

Dear Al and Di,

Thank you! Every once in a while, I seem to get lucky and things come together for me a working combination of music and lyrics. To be honest, I think Jason's singing boosted the listenability factor of this song immeasurably. He's a talented man.

All the best,
Noel.

P.S. I notice that there are a couple of your songs that I haven't yet listened to. I'd better get my act together and scoot on over smile

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the comments about the guitars. I've just had a listen (my first in months) and I see what you mean. I will definitely revisit mix and pull the volumes back a bit.

Because I'm not a guitar player, I don't have a feel for what sounds best.

Also, thank you for your positive comments. I appreciate them.

Hope all is travelling well for you!
Noel

Thanks for having a listen, Dan. You've given my day a boost with your uplifting comment. This is a pretty old post. I'm surprised the song doesn't have arthritis!

All the best,

Hi Jim,

Thanks for dropping in. Thanks for the comment on Soundcloud, too. I'm glad that the song appealed. I think luck was with me when this one came together. Jason is such a great vocalist. He makes it sound much better than I ever could.

All the best to you and yours,
Noel

Hey Noel. Penny reminded me of this song the other day, and I thought that it needed to be bumped. We haven't done it live yet, but I'm going to start working on it. Do you still have the .sgu? grin That arrangement is way above my pay scale! laugh

We're fine - just carrying on with the 2015 90 dB Dive Bar World Tour. So many dives....so little time! grin

I too missed this on it's first go round. So glad Bob bumped it back. Noel, this is brilliant. I would put it toe to toe with anything on radio today. Enjoyed every second of my listen and will be going back for more.

I also want to put in my support for Bob to not only cover this live, but would love to see him do a cover for us here on the BIAB forum. As good as Jason did, this song sounds to be a perfect fit for Bob's style. Jason's work contributed to what many have commented to be a song that is one of your best submissions. But, in reading all the comments, some felt his vocal performance somewhat overshadowed the song itself in some places. It's all subjective opinion and part of the fun in putting our songs here on the forum. We get respectful opinions and insight from people we both admire and respect their work, so all is good. The final take away has been that Jason did a more than admirable job on what is accepted as one of your best submissions.
It's my opinion that Jason gives us a somewhat modern country feel and somewhat more of a modern gospel feel with his vocal performance. Bob is a true country balladeer to me and would bring the more traditional country ballad to the song. A comparison to Jim Reeves or Randy Travis vibe. To me, this song fits Bob like a custom tailored suit.
I love what you have here, but am curious to what else it could be...

Charlie

Glad this came around again.. I'm one who missed it the first time!

Noel, in reference to our PM conversations recently, this song would be a good one for the Steve Austin Song Writing Contest!

Hi Charlie,

I apologise for taking a little while to thank you for having a listen. I really appreciate your comments. You added a huge smile to day when I read them.

By the way, I'm with you. I think Bob should definitely post a cover version of my song. I'd love to hear it!!! (I'd better find that MGU file and send it to him.)

Take care and thank you again.
Noel
