The song was written and produced by me about 20 years ago using an 8 Tascam midi studio, Roland U220,Dx7 and a Shure mic with various Boss equipment .. and a much younger me. The version here was copied to Cake from the Tascam, with the addition of some compression etc and then mastered using my Sound Cloud account. Have to say it seemed easier to write songs when sitting at the top of my stairs, I sometimes feel all the toys to hand just get in the way of songwriting ... But it's too late now LOL Many thanks for the comments and thankyou for listening. ATB Steve

And now it's remixed ... do I get a tick or cross t ....

Clever Dick LOL

Of course it is ...all me, a lot younger admittedly, but all me ...now I'm older I mainly do ballads ... Thanks for the comment Steve

WOW ! My kind of listener ... I am, and have been for many years, more of a lyrics guy, When writing my stuff I feel the words are more important first, and then I try producing a colour ( musically ) to suit. All of my stuff has an understated message, sometimes easy and sometimes not. I haven't heard your work here yet so I'm not sure where your curiosity lays. Anyway the storey is a rich and intelligent girl and a down town, but worldly guy. He is smitten by her dependency on love for him given her looks and upbringing ... but she is a bit of a bitch, and although she won't admit it she puts all the blaim for everything in her life that's gone wrong on her, also, very rich parents, they give her everything but the one thing she wants ... love ...He sees, and he gives her all that in spades! thinking it will resolve her, and ultimately their relationship, there is an ambiguity which remains unsaid and they are secrets she shared in unguarded moment ...the upshot is stop *****ing around and face the truth love is love forget all else 'cause it lasts as long as it lasts. Thanks for the comment .... Steve

Check out the mastered track, The vocal has been brought forward ( up front ) Thanks for the comment M8 Steve

https://soundcloud.com/user-936763372-896820317/your-to-blaim?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing I have left the original to see if this worked... it's a good bit of time this saves but I wondered about the comments ... given the feed back from the original

Thanks checkout the remix ... for fun

Lotto fun ... and it's a no to the hole Steve

Cheques in the post T ......

Thanks for the compliment Steve

I think that's a great idea ... I'll try that out and see if it makes a big change in the dynamics of the song. I sang this one with emotion as I thought it suited the feel ... I now feel I might have over cooked it. Thanks for the compliment m8 ATB Steve

Thanks for taking the time to comment and I didn't notice the lyric was a little lost until you mentioned it, most probably because I wrote it a know the words .. so well spotted and thanks I'll have a go at bringing them forward as you suggested ... ( A good cry ain't bad for you even though we're blokes LOL ) ATB Steve

Dope ..... Really love this ..and great work everyone !!

Gonna buy me some ezkeys ...wow that piano playing is dope ... good stuff John Steve

Nice interaction between the bass synth and the orchestral pads ... and ends with a musical question .. if you get my meaning ..always find your compositions interesting ..I liked this one David. ATB Steve

Disturbing image but this one is up there with Picasso ... great mix ..

Harmony vox too high... guitar has nice sound V2

Shame 'cause it's really the kind of vibe I like ... could be a great track and sounds more like a 60s production made on tape ..

Thanks M8 ...if not for you and after all these years of frustration listing to 4/4 I would be held under for EVER ... cleared my mind .... and breath 😤 Steve

Great Video .. vocal a bit flat in my opinion

Hi Rex, been listening to you work for some time now and this is a break away from your usual format ..and it's bloody good, you have enough advice drum wise and as a vocalist first myself, I would ask you to up your game on the chorus line ... apart from the ending vocal which is a great message to the loved one. looking forward to you finished upload Steve

Just to add my bit and having spent soo much dosh on open back and closed .. For me Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 Ohm Over-Ear Studio Headphones are the most comfortable .. but make my ears hot when mixing down or doing several takes over a day of work ... I have a set of AudioTechnica AT45s which I like but it's all down to preference ..it really is the hardest thing/tool to buy .. honestly go into your shop of choice and don't get bullied into the expensive stuff and try different cans out with the input here as a guide ... I have 12 sets of cans and they're all good but have drawbacks of one thing or another ... my DT770's failed on the left capsule twice and they are expensive ! ....just saying is all Happy shopping SupaReels
