I had always performed this one as a mid-tempo "country pop ditty". Kind of on the "lighter" side. As I was looking for an electric guitar for the chorus, I began auditioning different tracks. I often try dozens, looking for the right thing. Often, listening to tracks whose name would indicate "no way" will that work... Something about the StoneZ Honky guitars caught my attention for this... ...which sent the song in a whole new direction. And gave it new life (for me)... So, let's rock a little...

I could just imagine listening to this whilst riding the Roller Coaster or Speedway. I swear I could smell the hot-dogs while listening to it. But Floyd, where was the guitar solo - the sort that makes your ears bleed? All the technical stuff was, of course, perfect. ROG. Free online guitar lessons. Cours de guitare gratuit en ligne.

The lyrics are great as usual. You are such a natural singer. It always sounds effortless and you can hear the fun in your voice. I listened earlier but did not have the time to comment. The first thing I was going to say was where is the solo? It is short enough so there is room time wise. I am very glad that the others also noticed this. Then i started thinking of a lot of great songs that don't have an instrumental break, so I guess it is just a preference. Now I will stick my nose in where it doesn't belong. The guitar on the right side in the beginning is too loud. It throws the balance off. When the piano comes in on the right and the guitar backs off it balances back out. Maybe the pan is too far right,it doesn't sound like the left guitar is panned all the way left. Could be my blown out sense of hearing also. I hope my comments don't take away from a great effort. I can't imagine this tune in any other style. Another Great Floyd Jane Production! Rock on, Tom

I was trying to get it as "rockin'" as possible... As I mentioned this had always been a "pop ditty" kind of thing and didn't lend itself to a lead really. And that is how I set it up when I put the chords into BIAB. It started out with easy drums and acoustic guitars. It wasn't until I hit the StoneZ guitar that Mr. Hyde appeared. I then found a style that used that guitar which brought in different drums and piano.. And I just went on from there. If it had started as the rocker it turned into, I would have probably added a lead section.... Now that I think about it, I should have gotten hold of Tommy and see if he'd do like he did on "Bad Enough"... Ian - thanks! (see response to ROG regarding missing lead ) Josie - I do seem to be rockin' out a bit more these days... was never able to do that before (myself) - "the band" has a lot of things up their sleeves!!! Thanks for the listen! 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I re-mixed - brought the guitar down a touch (not much - it's rock-n-roll!) and slide it over some...

As far as the vocal, production and arrangement goes I could just cut and paste my comments from ALL of your previous posts. They are consistently superior.

I think can imagine the song this way, strumming on an acoustic guitar. I especially like how you drop out instruments in the last verse, and also the "power" reverb brick wall outro
