Ooo, I knew you were gonna sing about the other half, too. Good write, Dewey, and well sung with just the right touch of harmony. Quite a vocal range you have, and everywhere within it there is consistent quality.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Dewey,

Good song and very well sung. I think the production is fine - sounds crisp and clean.

Dewey, your production technique is perfect.

Great vocal, harmonies in the right spots, and lyrics.

Fantastic arrangement.

I thoroughly enjoyed this song.

Nice song. smile

The only production comment is that I kept noticing the slapback reverb. It's a nice sound, but I kept on noticing it, distracting from the vocal. But that's probably just me.

Love everything else about it.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
