ABull

I like your mix and the arrangement -- your choice of instruments is interesting and make for some tasty ear candy -- I also like your vocal approach and tone.  ~~Allan

The mix on this is very good -- clear and spacious -- good stuff.  Also, you delivered the lyric is an emotional tone that's quite effective.  A very good listen mate~~Allan

Hey Doug, yeah, a cool 60s feel on this -- if you revisit the mix, perhaps take a listen to the eq -- some warmth could be added to the mix. ~~Allan

Hey there Freddy -- as I was listening to this two thoughts came to mind -- 1.  I'm digging this and a tad hypnotized by the delivery and 2.  your vocal reminds me of someone I like from the 60s -- the overall timbre and such -- NO, not McCartney! -- I can't think of who it is but I like it.  As to the recording, there are timing issues in places where the feel isn't quite right .  Also, I think that you could pan out some of the instruments to give the mix more space.  I like that bass.  I enjoyed this and wish you a Merry Christmas!~~Allan

The harmony parts are indeed very good. Liked the way you brought it in on the second line of the second verse. For me, and I don’t know why, The Association came to mind. Blast from the past, eh? Well developed story line, good piece of songwriting, nicely done overall.

Hey Tom, I'm pleased that the song resonated with you--thanks for your comments~~Allan

Cool song - the arrangement works well.  I thought the BGVs stood out as a good part of this song. I liked your lead vocal - Chris Isaac came to mind for me - not the same, but it made me think of him.

The mix overall sounded good to me - thanks for posting.

Hey Douglas, thanks for the kind comments mate -- I'm glad you like my demo.~~Allan

Hey Freddy -- on the opening drumbeat I thought it was Rainy Day Women -- it got even better after that.  Love that raunchy guitar tone.  Drums could be up in the mix a bit mate (maybe cut back some reverb).  As to be expected, I enjoyed this from you~~Allan.

Hey Bob, very very cool -- as usual~~

Hi Allan.  (going through a lot of songs now Im back on line as promised)
Are you influenced by the Beatles?
liked the arrangement and vocal harmonies.
I can hear that you don't use auto tune...  not meant in a bad way.

Its very retro and 60's sounding.

Mix wise  (again just my opinions)  its very middle based.
I would like to hear more tone and separation.

Your composition skills are amazing.

Gary, thanks for listening and commenting -- glad ya dig my little demo~~Allan

I liked your lead vocal on this one - especially the echo you put on it.  Cool tune - it hooked me in for the listen. I thought the bass could come up a bit more in the mix.

Overall, excellent job - thanks for posting.

Hey Douglas, thanks for listening and commenting -- I'll take a listen to dat bass level~~Allan

This has a nice retro feel I don't often hear. I feel like I'm back in 1973 11 years old and listening to a tune on the radio. I hope you understand that this is a high compliment from me on this because I really like that stuff!!!

Hey mate, thanks for that complimentary comment and thanks for listening~~Allan

Hello ABull . . . it's positively positive !  I really especially like the intro acoustic guitar, it sets up the tone of what is to come. The vocals are very upfront in the mix, and this works very well for my ears. My minor niggle would be in the middle section (which I really like) the "Happy to be Me" vocal kind of gets lost when the instruments come back in, and I think it's an important point in the song which should be heard more. Anyways, great stuff, and I also like the unpredictable way you end this.

Hey, thanks for listening -- I'll keep your comments re the mix in mind--glad ya like the song & the demo.

What a nice happy, cheerful song.  A great melody and lyrics carry it right along.  Your vocals are excellent as are the harmonies.  Mix sounds good to me.

Nice one!!!

Hey Freddy, thanks for listening and commenting me ol' mucker -- glad ya like the song esp. dem vox.

Well sung, excellent job on the harmonies, vocally and note selection. I might let the acoustic push a bit more, maybe spread it across the sound stage or bring up the verb on it on the right side? Just some things I would try if I was mixing it. Overall a big👍

Tom

Hey Tom, glad you like the song -- esp. the vocals.  Thanks for listening and commenting mate,.
