I've commented before about a bit of darkness in your lyrics, hope you're getting through it. "Maybe last for awhile", don't like the sound of that, hope all is well. Tom

Ramble on baby! Always a pleasure to start my day with a little Wookiee magic, that's for sure. Tom

Man I love me some good sax (whoops, almost used an e there). Loving the guitar work as well, nice touch, phrasing, note selection; its all there for sure! Is that a different sax after the guitar, maybe just the upper register, huh? I'm with Mark on that sudden start, needs a little something there. And thanks to the Wookiee for fixing the link. Lots of "thumbs up" A's and +'s from me. Tom

Hey Lynn, I'm gonna go with Steve on this one. I had a listen, but decided not to comment (no "brass" here I guess). I get the message and well done on that. Agree maybe a different approach would serve the lyrics better (think Pain of Love). BTW, your body of work is most impressive! Hung around to catch the top five... Silver Lining, two big thumbs up there for sure!! Love that guitar tone on Can't Wait! Tom

We'd have more shillings in our pockets, that's for sure mate! He said as he was off to d/l the demo Hey, at least I'm gonna demo first, its not really GAS; roight?

The IK White is also an LA2A clone. Pretty much either one in the fx bin is fine. Because the CA2A is part of the pro channel, that’s what makes it “first choice” for me. Of course in your case since you can’t buy it. White works well, and everyone makes a clone. You probably already have one, if so you’re not missing much. Tom

Just copy and paste or Sitting Duck I Still Don't Know Hope you don't mind jb.

Nice one! So a couple questions, if you don't mind. 1) Did you program SD3 or use the included midi or a hybred of the two? 2) Amp sim (which one) or amp? The modo bass sounds pretty dam good (I'm a Trilian user). Not a big fan of "falling apart" at the end, but your tune, your production; just me... re I Don't Know, another nice one. But I'm confused, Kolker is the singer and/or the guitar player? Tom

Lots of comments above so I'll just lightly touch on a few. Surely not too Rubato (had to look that one up meself). Agree the into violin should be more centered. It does just end abruptly, needs something there I think. My great grandmother Maire O'Conner would have loved it! Tom (a shanty Irishman twice removed)

I think I agree with Tom (emeraldsoul) above, I'd dig into that backing track and breathe a little "life" into it. Beautiful tone from that Tele for sure. Keep it up! Tom

Bhavesh, you've definitely raised the bar for yourself on this on. The drum track on this one is much "tighter" than past efforts. At 1:47 - 1:55 there's a distinct change in the vocal, a punch in?, or a deliberate vocal effect? As Tom (emeraldsoul) said above, you've sketched this out nicely, now you can fill it in and bring it back to us. You're definitely moving forward, I think we'll all enjoy watching you grow artistically and technically. Tom

As some mentioned on Always The Same, definitely a Kinks vibe on this one. As to the mastering, its definitely "hot" on my system. Intro is a bit long for me (take that with a grain of salt), but I'm a "three minute" man myself; that being said you held my interest right to the end. A+ at least on this one. Tom

I too would like to add my sincere thanks to all our Veterans! Thank You! T

Yep, and my “smart phone” would have “corrected” ritard to “*****” and we can’t have that! T

Ouch!

Yikes! That’s Rockus and Rollus, the gods of rock music; man am I sorry I sicced ‘em on ya.

So Larry critique Brian May will ya? I know I'm off topic...

Wow, how did I miss this? So tender, so intimate; I'm sure she knows... "and one day I hope I can play them" you're knocking it out of the park mate. Guitar tone on this is to die for; makes me think of James Wilsey, may he rest in peace, on Wicked Game. Truly beautiful, start to finish. Tom

You got it! Thanks Ed, luv ya man! (that don't mean I wants to take long hot showers with ya tho) T

Panda Express, I'm not going that far (but I am smiling). I've got a good attitude lift this morning catching up with what everyone is up to here in Songs. You've got me ending on a very upbeat note! Big A+ here. Tom

The only way to "fix" a fragile ego is to bruise it a bit, take your lumps and form a callus. Good start here, keep moving forward, post another tune and grow along with the rest of us. Nicely done ritardando there at the end. Goggle says I spelled it right, my spell check says not; oh well, must latin or sumpin huh? Tom

The intro reminded me of Seven Bridges Road (mixed with a little Jon Anderson), well done indeed. I'm going to get myself in a bit of trouble here but the "grid" is both our friend and our enemy. That persistent "one" keeps coming round and we feel it necessary to be right on the beat. Building tempo maps is a lot of work, but its one of the most important tools we have. For me its got to "breathe". I know that most modern music is laid down to a click track, but the A list studio cats are dancing around that click. What I'm trying to say is your tune is just a bit "stiff". If I'm producing, we've got to put a bit more "feel" into it, that takes it to the next level. Fine tune overall, maybe I'm criticizing my own work rather than yours, I don't know; just me... Tom

Certainly I want to hear the finished product, but I gotta tell ya I really enjoyed watching the session! When the Beatles anthology CD came out my sister handed it off to me instantly. She hated the takes that weren't perfect; I loved it! We constantly hold our works up to the bar that is finished commercial product, and certainly we should and must. But it is refreshing to know that "polished" works, take hard work, and not every take is "perfect". Angela has the chops for sure, the whole tune is excellent. Thanks for sharing, Tom

Wow, that pic "collage" as you call it is gorgeous, really enhances the piece! I missed most of the fall here in the PacNW, on the road on business. The leaves are gone and the rain returned late last nite, we're in for a gray and drippy few months. But you've brightened my day, thank you for that. Tom ps: what are you using for your strings?

Freddy, no back pages here! With your kind permission I think I'll send a copy to an old bandmate in SoCal. He gigs with a band, Lonnie and the Lugnuts; they do a lot of car shows, etc. This is right in their wheelhouse. Well done! Tom
