Hi All, Here's something new... This is called Light It Up. Looking down our empty street I can see the rain’s still falling And was it yesterday Some real promises were broken I don’t know just what is real Cause I’m aware I’m falling This house is quiet tonight Except for the strangers calling So good So fine Light it up baby Just one more time Before you go Turn it up Burn it down Looking down memory lane I can see the shadows falling And was it in my mind Some final words were spoken I don’t accept what I feel Cause I know you’re falling This is my last appeal Except for the days I’m calling So good So fine Light it up baby Just one more time Before you go Turn it up Burn it down So good So fine Light it up baby Just one more time Before you go Turn it up Burn it down All BIAB Tracks: 2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 2505: Piano, Electric, HeldChords 085 1118: Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 365: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 832: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm, AltCountryMoody Ev 075 Loop: Chillout/Chillout_dimensions_145 RealDrums: PopPromiseEv16 a:Snare on 4, HiHat, b: Snare As always - thanks for listening!

Sounds cool.
the 1st guitar chord is alarmingly loud though.
Your vocal is just right for the setting though there're some levels, plosives and essing that could be treated with a fast attack compressor etc. to make it sit even better.
Good work.

Bob,
There`s a slow burn to this one I enjoyed - lots of emotion in your vocals especially the chorus.
Love that Americana rhythm guitar building through the song.
Very good!
Robert

Hi Robert,
You never disappoint. Every time I click onto one of your songs I know I'm in for a treat - and this was a delicious one! That slow burn Robert mentioned is spot on and works so nicely for this one. Your vocal sits right in it like an added touch of sugar in a hot chocolate. Totally enjoyed it! Best to you.

This sounded so good on the headphones. I really liked the intro. Your voice has always reminded me of Dylan. This is one of your best vocals Bob. Such a cool song. Perfect for a Saturday night.

I always enjoy hearing your music, such passion in those vocals! And great writing.
I liked that first guitar part, didn't seem too loud to me. Mix sounds good through both the studio headphones and monitors.
Another good song from you!

Bob, enjoyed my listen! I especially liked:
1) how you created a distinction between the verse music and the 'in-between' bars...using the elec 12-string strum to 'calm down' the backing to support your verse vocals.
2) the strong, but simple chorus melody/lyric: using 2- to 4- syllables per line...very efficient and good for the listening!
3) your vocal, just right for the genre...and produced so professionally! I'm envious!!
4) the overall song didn't try to do too much, you stuck to your message, lyrically and musically--I think that really shows excellent design!
Thanks for posting your outstanding work!

Bob, This is so cool man! I really enjoyed this! I can always count on you to give us a taste of the West Village, and those rainy, midnight, desolate, crime-ridden and forbidden streets with Lou Reed hunched over in the darkness smoking a cigarette on the corner standing in a pile of dirty New York City snow-- while everyone else is writing Christmas songs.  I love it!!

Bob, I really like this one. The highly compressed snare and the dry elec rhythm guitar were inspired choices. The build to the higher melody in the choruses just let’s them fly. Great work, Tom
