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. best om ps todays radio stns dont know squat imho..lol

Scott, Nice! VERY well written tune. Nice spread of energy throughout, no dips. Three listens, I am convinced. Vocals and mix are very crisp. Listens well. Thank you for sharing. Misha. P.S. I like your alternative title Thanks for the three listens and comments, Misha!!! Very cool rocker. Loved the driving guitar. Super vocal and lyric. Well done Thanks a bunch, Scott! This is a good Rock song and it is inspiring me to try creating more rock songs. The guitar usage is great too and really shows off the power of BIAB .
Thanks, Bob. Rock on!

Hokey? Not for a 42 year happily married couple like us!
Janice said she was sweetly hooked from the first verse.
"We’re right where we belong" Indeed.
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
J&B, I always appreciate your comments. It's 34 years for us. I didn't read no hokey things in the lyrics...
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! Hi Scott,
This is a really good song. It's kind of like you've melded Buddy Holly and the talking heads together. Nice lyrics and super vocals. I enjoyed the listen... Thanks, Bawb. Buddy Holly is one of my faves. This mix is outstanding! I have on my good head phones. Wow I love this sound. Nice panning of the guitars off to the left and right. Great ending.
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

Very nice!
One of your best I think, Scott, great writing and vocal, also really like your mix and production.
Good from the start to that very cool ending, well done! Thanks, Dave. Glad you liked the ending. I'd thought I'd try something different than usual.
