I especially liked how the male voices became more prominent toward the end--gave it a "feels the same for us guys, too" sense.

Mid-way, this song made me chuckle--it probably wasn't meant to be taken this way, but I couldn't help thinking of all the times during marriage when it seems like every little "great idea" turns out to be--well, you just have to keep trying!

Thanks for this excellent track!


Thanks very much, tano! We had lots of fun doing the BGV's on this, I think you will hear that treatment again when the song is right for it.

That bass...an even steady sound right up the fretboard. What sort of bass & treatment?
Loved the entire package.


No complaints about the kick drum? That has to be a first wink

Marty answered your question about his gear. For the processing I've experimented with a few different things since Marty came on board.

I've settled on using CLA bass, I think I took one of their existing presets and tweaked it slightly, and I feed the output of that to Neutron 3 for some additional polish and glue.

Thanks, Ray!

Hello BlueAttitude,

Nice composition where the choirs (especially the singer's voice) are impeccable and the lyric pleasant. I enjoyed the superb mixing. Well done.

Hi Chris, Dave and Marty
Another excellent song; great work by the three of you. Love the backing vocals. My one tiny quibble is that the call and response at the end between Chris and Dave's guitar didn't go on for just a little bit longer.
Regards,
Leon

This is good. I love the instrumentation (live and BnB). Soaring ballad. Vocals deliver the message superbly. My favorite kind of song. Nice work to all (and the Band).

Hi Dave, Chris and Marty

What a nice song. A bit a soft Blues, but I like the flow of this song.
The vocals were (as always) very good. Especially in the chorusses where that 'trying' gets more and more intense and with more vocals.
Man, I love that!

To my ears the lead guitar was a bit modest (soft) in volume. After that cried-out chorus I would have turned up that volume! But I fear your will answer that is why you always ask me to turn my lead guitars down a bit...

Very well done!
Hans

Even though he didn't tale a "solo", those lines and rhythm were an entertainment to themselves. Altogether lovely, and all, together, lovely.


Thanks, Tangmo!

I had to do a double take: we finally get to hear Dave & Marty sing for Blue Attitude... and the result is impressive.
The bar has been raised again:look forward to the video.

Robert


Yeah, it was fun, and we will do it again after getting a taste of how it sounds.

We have decided to do a performance video for this one, first ever, so might take a couple of weeks.

Thanks, Robert!

A wonderful ensemble piece beautifully played.

P.S. Listened outdoors on the phone through wireless over ear headphones and at home on K702 AKG headset. Sounds great on both!

Misha.


We will do the big BGV thing again in the future, it was lots of fun.

Thanks, Misha! wink

"I gave you the key to my back door,
the one I never opened up before
Falling in love can brave a heart"

There's but two of us but we have three hats to tip and the first goes to
Chris for what we consider to be one of her best lyrics along with the fine
vocal and piano.

The next two (all are equal tips smile ) go to those guys who played the stunningly
good instrumental performances! And what a surprise with the BGV's - a great idea
and well done.

Nobody dislikes cliches more than us but what the heck ... this is stadium epic.

Love it!

J&B

PS Our multiple listens were on RN.

The initial plan was to have an extended call and response between the vocal and guitar, but by that point the song was getting pretty long.

Thanks, Leon!
