I really like this song.  It has a very pop and cheery sound with some very poignant lyrics (they match the times).  The vocal and BGV's were very good as was that lead guitar that came in toward the end.

Nice one indeed!!!

I'm glad you like the tune Freddy -- thanks for commenting.~~Allan.

oh yeah...a sad bump...

was written (music & lyrics) & performed (vocals, electric & acoustic guitars, bass guitar, keyboards, etc.) by me – home studio -- no autotune, melodyne and the like..                ©

I'll let the others draw lines and references.
I found this a bit different than your usual, and I really like it!

I really liked the song, the vocals sound great and I would describe the instrumentation as controlled chaos, particularly the piano! To my ears the mix sounds very good albeit not super 'polished' (deep full bass, ambient drums etc.) which I'm sure you aren't going for anyways.  Overall I think you did a great job!!

Hey, I'm glad you like my demo dude~~Allan.

definitely a bit of a Talking Heads vibe - good track - the only thing I would say I thought the drums sounded a little boxy, other than that all good

Thanks Nigel - I'm glad you liked that song demo (other than those box drums  )~~Allan.

Love it Allan.  The vocals were great as were the lyrics (a little biting with happy music -- cool)!  The mix sound good also .  Well done!!!

Hey Freddy, glad you like my tragi-comedy song and esp. the vox~~Allan.

That was a bit different from your usual stuff - as always I enjoyed your lead vocal. Mark mentioned David Byrne - yeah I could hear a bit of that in this one.

Cool song - well done.

Hey, Douglas, thanks for that -- glad you like those vox~~Allan.

Very good work Freddy -- a pleasure to listen to as always~~Allan.

Nice light fun sounding song. Kind of a David Byrne talking heads vibe. Loved it ...  No crits ..mark

Thank you Mark -- I'm pleased that you liked it.

"Tasty slide?" Are you DRUNK? ha ha. 

 

Why, yes I am.

Hang on a second, let me get this foot to stop tapping.  Okay.  Man, first thing I noticed was the beautiful nasty tone on that Peavey -- harp was very good (I thought of J. Geils Band) --really like the bridge chord changes -- that was a surprise -- vox was spot on as were the on-point lyrics -- in fact, the only thing I didn't like was that there was not enough of your tasty slide -- good stuff~~Allan.

Nice work Mark -- the mix is great and vox are right in the blues pocket as is the instrumentation -- like that bit at the end with the harp -- another good one from you~~Allan.

Terrific 80s sound on this (of course, that also makes it a 2020 sound) -- much like Michael Franks doing some new wavey stuff (but alas he never did) -- the mix is fantastic and everything sounds great -- good work~~Allan.

yeah I liked this one sounded a bit like that  singer Marc Almond  good harmonies not enough though

Thanks for that Paul -- and thanks for your intrepid commenting.

Very nicely done -- I particularly like the way it switched gears around 2:10 -- my only nit is the synth vox -- I think by now those synth choir voice things are archaic and should be retired -- my opinion of course, who knows?  Anyway, good work~~Allan.

A moody sound that's kinda different for you Freddy but you really put across the emotion of this~~and with your usual sweet guitar tones--another good one in the Freddy Cannon (!)~~Allan.

Hey, you've got that 80s thing down solid -- good demo of your song~~Allan.

Good mix, nice clear vocals, great little story and very well expressed. I had to smile listening to it!  

Good tune.

Hey thanks much -- glad ya like it.

Definitely a catchy tune you have here.  I enjoyed listening to your vocal on this one - you have a unique voice. I liked the lyrics as well.

I thought the mix was quite good - well done.

Hey Douglas, thank you.  I'm glad you like the tune and I appreciate your take on the vox and lyrics~~Allan.

Hey Paul, this is a terrific demo of your song -- mix is bright and clear and the vox are spot on -- only nit there is that the lead vocal could come down a tad but whatever -- also some unusual chord changes -- good one~~Allan.

Not my taste of music. Concerning the mix, this one could be a bit more airy, if you understand what I mean.
