I'VE NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD I have always enjoyed the work that Dave Bell and Marty Straub present here in the forum and for this project they both graciously lent their talents to help me get this song together. Marty's bass playing is always so solid and Dave is one of the finest blues players that I know of. I developed this song over the last couple of weeks and really enjoyed putting it all together. It's kind of a throw-back Rhythm and Blues/Rock number. Thanks for giving it a listen and I hope you all enjoy it. BIAB - Piano 2303 Country Rock John Ev 120 Marty Straub - Bass Dave Bell - Lead Guitar (solo and fills) Me -Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Piano, Organ & Synths Drums - Drums On Demand I've Never Had It So Good Words and music by Torrey Bliss, Marty Straub and Dave Bell ©2022 Stand back and watch This magic carpet of love I will ride Pardon my joy But what I feel inside I can't hide I've heard a bolt from the blue Can change the plans of mice and men Your bolt pierced my heart I can't deny or try to pretend That there's something out there Better that's waiting for me To think that way I'd be a fool The truth is that I've long Been waiting for this day For someone like you I could say how I feel Describe the surreal I would be misunderstood A thousand years if I live I'd find nothing like this I've never had it so good I'm just walking on air With the sun shining down on me I've come out of the dark To where I've only been in my dreams I've never been much for dancing But you just make me want to move And I've got a lot of emotion Needing release in my shoes I could say how I feel Describe the surreal I would be misunderstood A thousand years if I live I'd find nothing like this I've never had it so good

Wow, this sounds like any number of 70's bands I loved: Little Feat, Orleans, Firefall, Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. Early Robert Palmer. Really great sound, like a Super Session of Showcase performers. Terrific work, guys!

Torrey Dave & Marty
That was superb!
Everything was great, your playing the melody and vocal, Dave's guitar and Marty's bass and the BIAB piano.
One of the best ones I've heard here in a long time.
It came together so well.
Loved it.

Torrey - a cracker of a song with an excellent melody & a seriously great vocal.
Dave - ace solo and fills that fit the bill.
Marty - in the pocket and on the money
BIAB piano is an excellent fit.
Torrey, which DOD set did you use? I like that one. Did the structure of the DOD track influence the structure of the song?
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Terrific song, playing, vocals and mixing.
Couldn't be faulted - I enjoyed it from start to finish.
Very professional.

Torrey,
Cool song! Good write!
I hear a bit of Leon Russel (mixed with the ever-present Rundgren) plus any number of great influences!!
Beyond the influences - you are a true original.
The use of stops is excellent. Marty's gorgeous bass accentuates them nicely (I thought the bass could be a bit louder). Dave's guitar work is killer. (ALL of your parts are good!)
Excellent vocals and BGVs.
Awesome music. A great listen. Terrific collaboration!!
(this forum is SO cool!!)
Loved it.

oh boy...will echo other comments.
very 70s. v nice thinking went into this.
it reminds me of a canadian band of the past...just cant put my finger on who.
superb lead vocs with oodles of character.
what i like also as well is the way the backing
supports the lead vocs sooo well.
this shows true professionalism.
superb effort.

Yep, I hear it too - 70s for sure - "Sneaking Sally Through the Alley," Et. al. Great collaboration. Good job to all involved. The production is well done. Cool song. Good rocker.

Cool!
One of the most successful collaborations I have heard here. People spent many months to achieve similar. Brilliant! From lyrics to artistry of playing to mix engineering, everything is album ready hit. Torrey, Dave, Marty, Congrats! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Yes as a child of the 60's and 70's it's hard to do any music without those groups influencing the sound! T

Such a wonderful song and so well-done, Torrey. Thanks so much for the invite, especially because you could have done the bass even better. Thanks to all who mentioned me in there, but to be clear, the creative part of the bass line was done by the master songwriter, Torrey Bliss. Love everything about this. No one has mentioned ELO. Torrey your songs remind me of all the things I like about that band without all the things I didn't. Brilliant.
