Can you clarify what you mean a bit?

it sounds like it stutters at the 1:32 mark. it happens at the same spot on both Master and V3.

I like the song, your vocal is very cool but there is way too much saturtion on the the mix, but that being said this is a killer idea.

the next song The Gentle Hours Of Evening is really good..

Very Cool.

A few years ago I was looking through some CakeWalk vids" on youtube and ran across this..

the  language is kind of rough, but it's a belly laugh this guy goes off.

at 1:32 sounds like it went off the rails a little, other then that it's an awesome stereo mix.

really nice, all of the above...

This song should be playing 24 hours a day on a jukebox in a smoky bar somewhere on the bayou. this is a dark, emotional ballad.

whats not to like? I hope you post more songs here...

Yeah, my first thought when I started listening to this was Beatles-esque all the way.

Enjoyed this one a lot, guys. Great song, really nice vibe, clear mix. Lyrics are quite entertaining.

It has a merseybeat kind of quality to it, I have the laptop on the good speakers today. I really like the sound of the piano in the breaks. and the saturated snare snap sounds very cool.

good lyrics, happy groove. good one.

could I please ask for a few more replies on this song?  With total page views over 100 I know more than 5 people listened to this.

It reminds me of the Six Pistols it sounds good, has a movie soundtrack feel to it.

the thing about page views is, some people are just blowing through this forum while they're waiting for a reply somewhere else.

Sound like something Dylan would've done years ago.  Great sound.

😀John B

since you went there  it's sounds like something right off of Highway 61,  when he was jamming with Paul Butterfield.

kick *****, is that you friend doing those back ground vocals as well? rock & roll.

Good job Gary! I love it. This was one of my favorite songs when growing up.

 

Me too, I was eight years old when this song came out. I always thought it was strange that Mac "baby don't get hooked on me" Davis wrote this song.

but then again 1969 was a very strange year. thanks for the flashbacks

Great vocal ... rich as chocolate sauce 

I think I like your vocal just a little better then the original ( Josh's voice is too deep, I know it's classic country and people love it ) kind of sounds like you moved up a fret or two as well. Good Job.

Sounds good, I'm listening through my good speakers and it's a nice wide mix, the Elvis thing aside it's obvious you have a great voice.

I like it, it's kind of folk rock.  I also listend to Sweet Anne. good mix, your stuff is unusual in a good way.

thanks for being cool about it.

It's been pointed out to me that comparing your songs with other bands might come off as a bit insincere and maybe not helpful to the over all point of this forum.

so i'll knock it off

and keep my comments on the over all mix and minor random babbling...

once again, all apologies.

Amen Brother.. Now get the hell off my lawn

cool vid" great song. I know this is gonna sound stupid but I hear a little bit of early Supertramp back when they were more of a jam band.

Nicely done, i like the fat kick and the wide ride sounds good. all and all a nice sentimental song...

Cool song, it reminds of a modern folkish Pete Seeger or The Kingston Trio tune. I like the art work too.

No, please don't call me Merry!😮  There are two Joe Jacksons that are in the public light.  One is Michael's father and the other is a British singer/songwriter who's had hits like "Steppin Out" and "You Can't Get What You Want Till You Know What You Want".

😀JB

One throws a mean hook, the other writes a mean hook.

Awesome.

i'm a big fan, makes me think of Laurie Anderson's Home Of The Brave.  How did you teach that cat to play like that?

So nice of you to say all of this, and yes, you can call me John.😀

You're so right that the music is something that when it's in you, it won't be silenced.  I was talking to somebody else about this yesterday.  Music is like an internal drive that, just like sleeping and eating, can't be easily suppressed.  Sadly, a time will come in all of us when we'll have to give it up just due to getting too old.  But I think of old Gordon Lightfoot.  He had such a great and strong voice in his prime.  He's 80 years old now and still singing.  He struggles, but you can tell he still loves it, and his fans still love him.

😀

So eat, drink, and be merry, Do you mind if I call you Merry?

I generally don't like melodies that come too easy, especially in this day and age when everybody is becoming lawsuit happy, at least in the music industry.  If you have to work at developing the melody to the point of having to chart it out with a piano at least you know it's yours. 🙂

Regarding my voice (again).  In addition to the above mentioned Bob Dylan, Lou Reed and Leonard Cohen, one of my favorite songwriters is Joe Jackson. 

 

Love Joe Jackson, wasn't he one of the guys in that band the Jackson Six? The music industry can't sue you as long as you put it out for free.

And besides right now sister disco is running the show.
