Ray,

A very cool song, arrangement and performances from your talented collaborators.
I liked the mix too - sounds great on `phones.

Thanks Kenny.

Thanks Torrey,
The reason Trudy decided to sing it was due to the refrain, even from my poor guide vocal, stickin in her ear.
Seems I was lucky this time.

Personally I like the drums right where they are now but like all kinds of things music wise it is just a personal choice.

You all should be very proud of this.

Thanks Mario,
As I was born in the late 50s this is stuck in my impressionable music era I suppose. The vocal probably shoul've been trickier to sit because of the drenching the guitars and gtrFX have in reverb but I think it rides on top and a little in well enough. I agree re the drums - further forward would've been 80s and onward sound wise.

Robert,
Thank you.
The mix was done on monitors but I render it to a file several times so I could listen on a DAP with headphones because I 1st discovered headphones in about 72 or 73 and that was a reference point for the stereo image.

Hello, rayc

Very cool song!
Super vocal!
It reminds me of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody To Love" a little bit.
The unison of lead vocal and bass is very powerful.
The modulation and the melody of Chorus are really nice.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi, (hey I'm nervous about your name - do you follow the tradition of surname followed by given or the modern, more western, convention?)
Thanks for listening, for the reference to a wonderful song and for your concise analysis.
I've had the chorus progression in my head since 1977! I used it for a bridge in a song in the mid 80s but decided it was nice enough to use properly and more openly. Using sus7 & sus2 was fun when I was learning to play way back then and relatively easy with some minor chords so I just had fun.
Again, thanks.


Cheers

Thanks David,
Yeah, Trudy was much more focused - she didn't spend weeks and lots of energy worrying - just recorded herself singing and it works well for her.
It was super easy to fit into the mix as well. I like things to work smoothly sometimes.
I appreciate your feedback.


Cheers
