Nice.  I like the rather sparse piano accompaniment.

That was on purpose as it's a dark empty feel.

I was going for 1940s sound, not sure if I EQ correctly or not but this is what I came up with.

Had to check this out, my uncle used to play the original version on the accordion ha. Really enjoyed where you took this. As for the mix, to me the vocals got a bit lower when the full music came in. And overall the sounds are dark tones total opposite of the old version, which is interesting and expressive. Nice job.

Thank you for watching, I am glad you like it...

Pristine carving work here. Everything is nice in the mix. Video fits the feel you were looking for.

Thank you...

Excellent. Really, really nice reimagining. Understated yet powerful. Great vox. Great arrangements/playing by all the instruments, lots of interesting rhythm section turns. I would love to hear this on the radio🎶🎶🎶🎶

Thanks I am glad you liked it....

This doesn't sound like the version I am familiar with.

 

 

a more modern take on this... 

yes on purpose, to create sonic spacing.  

what do you guys think?

Nice work. Your bass heavy production style works well with this heavily melodic piece. Only element I'd work a bit more on is the lead vocal: add some clarity by automating the reverb up/down to taste,  remove some of the low end and add some compression🎶🎶🎶🎶

I will try that...

This is my take on Rod Stewart’s Some Guys Have All the Luck song. what do you guys think?

I have not heard the original, but i like your version.

As Lee said, it has a sort of shoegaze quality.

The only thing i found a little off was the reverb / high end  - a bit hissy for me

Otherwise all good

Reverb tail got away from me I can hear that. but I am glad you liked my singing.

maybe some more highs on voice to bring out a tad.jack c

 I wish, I can sing it, with slightly higher pitch, you can hear it at 1:54 ... lol but correction was needed...

So, I've heard the name Harry Styles...but never really clicked on anything before. Two things to note...

1 - He looks like the guy John Wick wanted to kill in the first movie. (Or we can call him Reek)

2 - I think I like your version better than his. It has a shoegaze quality that speaks to me.

Thanks that is awesome! lol!

Grove lock  (groove lock?)
Just out of convention I really wanted to hear a guitar solo come in but I think it works if the video is the main focus.
-Bjorn

it's an EDM type of track, not sure what a guitar would sound like in this type of music mix...    

Thanks for listening guys , I realized the mix was very unbalanced this is the final balanced mix...

cool sounds.i like to hear a melody here and there.jack c

Thanks for listening, yeah not a bad idea.

Shouldn't the kick/ 808 be more prominent to drive the beat and groove?

Perhaps, I will look at it again. 

UPDATE!!! 
One below had too much bass and is unbalanced this one is balanced....

This is the 1st version... Just something I was working on.....

Something I was working on....

Thanks for listening guys, it's the D harmonic minor scale that sounds Arabic, I have no idea how to play Arabic music LOL!

experimenting with different time signatures  

subwoofer OR 8+ inch woofer monitors required to enjoy this music.

I like the track but I didn't like the drums -what did you use?

Apart from that, all good

All native instrument stuff , like massive, massive x, trillian for bass and a flute from Halion Sonic 3.
