The 1st phrase of the vocal is buried by the intro leads. Regarding the leads - they way I hear them in headphones is line left is above my left ear a bit towards my eyebrow and the right is below my right ear. I reckon the idea is great but I also think they ought to be tighter to be juxtaposed as they are. The lead licks on the left throughout are really tasty and sit well. It's a terrific song - really enjoyable and a good groove too.

I'm listening to speakers, not headphones. Bouncy and fun. I love the way the chorus builds at the end. I expected a fade at 2:50, but why cover up a perfectly good solo? _________________________ -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it.

Nicely catchy, especially on the hook. If the mix was a bit more concise I could see this being on the radio, no doubt. Thanks so much for sharing _________________________ Cheers, Deryk

Good guitar stuff throughout - the outro is especially nice. I agree that the vocal needs a bit more clarity. The vocal frequency and guitar frequencies seem to be about the same place, causing a conflict... An enjoyable tune. Glad to see y'all back in the swing of things. fj _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And The other list...

Also feel the vocal could come up a bit, particularly in parts. Great guitar outro!! Enjoyed!! Take care. Greg

I wasn't really smitten with the lyric at first, but the overall "feel" of the song tilted me toward hearing it as an old tale of holiday love lost with enough time passed to reminisce a bit more light-heartedly. Really liked the solo on the way out. Edited by Tangmo (06/01/19 12:12 AM) _________________________ BIAB 2020 Audiophile. Windows 10 64bit. Songwriter, lyricist, composer(?) loving all styles.
