Nice modern take on 60s instrumentals.
That synth part is other worldly---quite a pleasing contrast to the preceding lower register guitar part (which I loved).

I enjoyed the voice-ish synth (not to be confused with a synth voice).

Scott...great way to start the new year...I'm just guessing at how much technical work you must have put into this and I'm amazed...very ethereal and very "theremin-esque" (I made that word up) with the synth voices...your guitar work is always stellar and worth the wait...so for 2022 "Away We Go" right?

Hi, Scott. Enjoyed the sounds. As firesong noted, bits of it were "theremin-esque". Mellow tune.

Hey Man, You're a talented guy. Listened to a couple of your songs and I'm impressed with your singing voice! I could only wish to have a voice like yours. The recordings were super clean too. We use the same DAW, Studio One 5. Pretty sold on Presonus and I love BIAB! Thanks, I enjoyed listening!

Yes "theremin-esque" is the perfect way to describe the synth part. Super chops on that axe! Excellent song.

The voice-like synth work reminds me of Vangelis soundtrack for Blade Runner (Seems like a lot of synth work reminds me of Blade Runner). Guitar had its own mystical coolness as well. Nice job!

Scott,
A really nice piece. Good use of the synth.
Nice tone, as usual. So "clean", so precise...
Good mix. Good listen. Beautiful.

Mellow tune. Thanks David It was your vox song that got me researching the midi key patches. Got me playing the keyboards again. Thanks for that. Glad you liked the song..

Hi Scott,
You told me you were busy making a song, so I didn't expect it was already done. You made a very nice song and I was surprised about those beautiful vocals halfway! Now I understand why you didn't ask me to do the singing in your song...
Hands down this is a very strong composition and guitar play, Scott. I enjoyed it!
Hans

Something nice and different from you even the guitar sound.
Impressive keyboard work and a nice overall vibe.
Hope 2022 is kind to us all.
