This is a really good song. I also could hear The Doors doing this one.

Your vocals were strong and the backing tracks were super. I wasn't thrilled about the redundancy in the lyrics but that is just me and the didn't distract from the song.

Great job on this one.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Wow - what a tune! This is the sort of thing I'd imagine playing on an alternative radio station. I love how much character and charisma it has. Not to mention - you perfectly utilized the loops on this.

You outdid yourself on this one - thanks so much for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

Very cool, Bob.


You continue to find innovative ways to put BIAB tracks together.

The drums sound terrific and the Metal guitar really compliment them and you vocal.

The Brent Rock solo slowed down to meet the tempo of this song made for some really interesting guitar lines - so cool...

Enjoyed that!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Indeed. We are all star dust.

This would be a PERFECT song for Lucinda Williams. Really. We are huge fans. Get it to her! It would’ve fit perfectly on her Down Where The Spirit Meets The Ben album.

You are a master of putting together seemingly disparate RTs to create great bands.

Ain’t gonna parse it out. We much enjoyed it!

J&B

PS Can we borrow this band some time? smile

What an original band you`ve created from the RT`s here! Hard to pin down the influences... but who cares, it works and adds another trippy niche to your songbook. Love that slowed down Brent lead guitar! Nice background vocals too.

I’m glad I took the ride. Spacey, Trippy wildly listenable. When I read the lyrics I wondered what you could possibly come up with to make it work. You succeeded beyond my expectations. You have a talent for making the band work along with your paint a picture lyrics. Cool, Tom

Hello, Bob

It is a mysterious song that makes me feel Mick Jagger somewhere and a little psychedelic, even though it is a blues chord progression,.
The combination of instruments is very creative.
Your vocal fits it very well.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Great rock vibe....hear some Hendrix in this!! As Dr. Seuss did, you were able to use very few words to make something that really captures the ear. Love the sound you captured on the drums and guitar. What kind of plugins did you use in the mix? Very cool stuff!! Take care. Greg

Thanks - very much appreciated.

For the instrument tracks I used various GarageBand effects, and for or the overall mix I used an Ozone rock preset - really brought out the drum sounds.

Thanks again!
