Great!

Do more of these.

I have to tell you that a mentor of mine at a major industry group told me something that you should never, ever forget Scott. Ever.

"When you sit down to write a love song, or a pop song, or a country song, any hit song for that matter, don't forget the cheese."

No truer words have ever been spoken my friend.

ezekiel.
just an added idea ....tween 1.05 and 1.11 before the lead gtr comes in is a nice space. goodness i just have to say
i hear a soaring female soprano series of "oohs".
rather like this in the time space...1234...
"oooh" "oooh" "oooh" "oooh"
and possibly more soaring femme vocs at the 3min mark for a few seconds in the background before the ending.

you wrote a fabulous tune with this one.

Vocals and mix are very crisp. Listens well. Thank you for sharing.

P.S. I like your alternative title smile


Thanks for the three listens and comments, Misha!!!

Janice said she was sweetly hooked from the first verse.

And you delivered that lyric with a nice vocal, mix, and RT/RD choice.

And we most enjoyed the positivity of it all.

J&B, I always appreciate your comments. It's 34 years for us.

Ezekiel, it is very interesting to make a rocky lovesong. The lyrics are romantic, sweet and also a bit literary. Mixed with the strong guitar and rest of the 'wild' band gives it a attractive song. Maybe then hokey things slips in ones mind?

You did a very good job on this one!
I enjoyed it,
Hans



Hans, thank you for taking the time to listen to my hokey song!

Nice lyrics and super vocals. I enjoyed the listen...


Thanks, Bawb. Buddy Holly is one of my faves.

So nice for the lady to hear too! Can't go wrong with this one.

Maybe if you have time Scott... a few secrets on how you treat the RT's in your DAW?


Marty, Thanks! I don't do anything special. I just render the tracks in Real Band and then insert them in Reaper. I use Ozone 9 for mastering.

Ezekiel:

You have such a clear grasp of who you are as an artist. Your tunes have such a great hooky sound and this one is no exception. Production is clear and totally resonates, and a terrific vocal. What’s not to like here? Catchy chorus! And, my, that solo—spot on!


Hope all is well in your world,

Deej

This is an excellent showcase for the richness of your voice.
You've created a bed that supports that really well.

Scott,

A terrific Pop-y Rock-y sound/song. In the heyday of AM Top-10 radio, this would have been a hit!!

Catch as heck.

Good use of BIAB. Nice vocals. Good mix.

Well done.
