One of your very best! Love it, and congratulations to Dave, too, for some superb guitar playing. Love the dark, lush minor key, and the lyrics ... it's hard (for me, at least) to pinpoint what the "secret sauce" is that makes this song so good, but it really is excellent. Well done, both!!!

These mixed signals clearly didn't confuse you!

Hans

Sorry, Hans. What exactly are you trying to say? Haha. Thanks, man.

Thank you, OM. I started using more double tracking thanks to you and Guitarhacker Herb.

You certainly came up with a good lyric and melody in a hurry.
What’s your secret, please? smile

Really well done and the vid emphasizes the "difference" indeed.

J&B

Thanks, J&B. Hmmm nobody ever asked me the secret before, so I figured I didn't have one. So I'll pretend like I do and spill the beans right here. To get the most out of creativity, just stay out of the way and believe. Of course it doesn't hurt to get more inspiration from folks like you on this forum.

What's not to like?

Thanks, Herb. Hey, I was just talking about you. All good, of course.


Enjoy whatever happens!

I got so mixed up by your song... My English left me frown
... and the fact that you chose Misha to sing along and not me... :))

Have a nice day overthere,

Great performance Marty. Your vocal is so assured - love the harmonies too.
Add in a very catchy hook and Dave Bell on guitar and you've got a winner.
Cheers,
Mike

My first thought was "That's can't be a Band in a Box lead guitar!"[/i]. David did a great job on this.

Love the vocals, and the backing is perfect. Sounds awesome through my speakers.

Thanks, David. My thought: that SHOULD be a BiaB lead guitar.

Terrific vocal, terrific narrative.
Bass is DEEEEEP and grooves.
Dave's playing - yes, a lead player who is there to hear and respond to the song make a lot of difference.
Solid mix and not nits at all.
The lyric does point out a significant difference between Murcan & Strine: your say different than & we say different to, (a short cutting of "when compared to").
Excellent.

Thanks, Ray. Your knowledge of various things always astounds me, man. I had to look up "Murcan & Strine", and guess what. Your comment here was 2nd on the list of answers. Dude, even Google knows the best sources for knowledge. You're absolutely right about bringing in the human element to make the song more alive.

Great job.


Thanks, AT! Yeah, I really like how so often the Biab players seem to know when to bring it out. That makes it so easy to mix.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thank you, James. It's the chemistry in loving what you do and doing it with someone who loves doing it as much. I can tell you love what you're doing too.

Thanks, Mike. Fortunately the harmony was in range, and more gratefully Dave Bell turned the song into something pleasing.

Great blues song. Dave's guitar, your bassline and the organ work really well together. The chording has nice minor feel painting the perplexity of the mixed signals.

The doubled vocals with increasing emotion at the end work really well.

Marty,

I would say this "fell" together quite nicely! It's kind of got a "Black Majic Woman" feel to it! I guess you can thank Dave's super guitar work for that assessment! Your vocals are so good here (harmony also)! I catch myself taking your excellent bass playing for granted sometimes forgetting it's you playing those parts because they are so solid every time! Great work!

Thanks, Torrey
