Really enjoyed this . you got talent mate and what a great voice to record ! As a comment I would have cut the bass quite a bit but that would have been a BIG mistake, having listened to this. I love the ambience of this mix and stereo separation. Kudos for the vocal work, you did a dam good job because that's a powerful voice and getting rid of the 'plosive' content would ruin the whole thing   .. (did I just go out for the evening ? 'cause it feels like it ).LOL

Wouldn't expect anything else from you .. great job ...getting gushy again tush 🙄

Stay well my friend

Steve

All good here ...like the song loads ... I have no intention of hijacking this post BUT did  our Mr Lynn Wilson give the FOO FIGHTERS A hand with the vocal work on Dave's 'waiting on war' Cause it sounds just like him ..... LOL

Sometimes songs are best left just the way they came out. This is one of them.

Anyway thanks for your comment .. hope it cleares it up @ I didn't  mean to offend through my ignorance .. 

Many thanks again

Very nice, but before I read the comments I was thinking that bass and drums could give it a major boost.

Thanks Keith, if you read through some suggestions ( which I always take on board ) , some of my pears have suggested exactly that, hence the laughter emogee, It didn't work for me when I tried putting a drum and bass track on, most probably due to my skill level or preference when listening to it ..   Anyway I hope you get the emogee thing, cause I wouldn't want to offend 😉 and many thanks for your input & comment.

Nice work - the vocal really shines. I'm in two minds about drums and further instrumentation, I think I've ruined many a half-decent ballad over the years by adding a drum track but then again maybe it would add something - all you can do is try some and see which you prefer. On balance, I like this as it is - very well written and performed - I enjoyed the listen. Andy

I have to agree with you Andy, after reading Kurt's comment, it made me feel that drums and bass could pull the melody out and it hadn't occurred to me while writing the song .. so I have tried laying complimentary bass with a drum track, just to get a feel .. maybe it's my skill level but it spoiled the 'message' and has not worked so I wont be returning to this song with a view to alter it.

Thankyou for listening and the helpful comments.👍

Sounds great. Your vocals are wonderful and the music really compliments the mood of the lyrics and the emotion in your voice. Nicely mixed too. 

Thankyou for the comment Treesha, it may be of interest to note that I recorded this song using platinum then mastered it on my Tascam 688 to get the analogue feel after which I used Power Director for the video plus the Tascam track ... bit nerdy but just putting it out there in case of any interest.😎

Steve

I can only echo the positive comments ... you are a gifted guy ..no doubt. Excellent work👍

Stay well

Steve

Graced my ears! So good, you tick the heart to say 'like' ... that ain't half the truth of what I got from this work ..blimey mate ..all I'd say is thankyou ..loved it  (Getting a bit gushy so I'll stop)😉

Staywell

OMG, this is so dope!  This is one of my favorite tunes of yours on first listen.  Your vocal just shines.  (Boy, I'd love to hear you sing "Baker Street")  Please, keep making videos.  I hope to make one or two this year, just need some inspiration on the graphic's side.

 ..... And I'd love to be able to play Baker street .. a bit beyond my pay grade mate LOL ... thanks for the comments Lynn, I'm made up

Stay well

Steve

Thanks mate means a lot coming from you 👍

Nice song, I was waiting for the drums and bass to come in though.

I never really thought of putting drums on this one Kurt ... Hmmm  ...if I was good enough at skins I'd have a go 'cause I bet that would add to the dynamics, thanks for the input,  I might see if I can though 😉👍

Steve, very nice. Somehow you can make a melancholy song put me in a good mood.
What's a D365?

Thanks for your comment Bjorn, your enquiry about D365, It was a typo and should have read PD 365, which is a video editing software package I'm getting into right now. I am experimenting with different codecs and recording methods both audio and video ... heavy stuff (a bit like going back to college ) but hey, it keeps me from going nuts in these covid ridden times.☢️

Stay well mate

Best regards

Steve

New vid ..trying out D365

No crits .. Just love your stuff keep 'em coming ..

Like Bjorn said, I always look forward to hearing your songs, and this is no exception.  Your lyrics, voice, melody, and sparse arrangement create a mood that I seem to crave.  Have a marvelous new year, and stay creative!

Steve,  I always look forward to hearing another song of yours and this one didn't disappoint.
Melodic 👍
Kind of sad in a good way. I think I mentioned wistful once.
Seems like drums struggling to fit in. Might be better without?
Timing off in a couple of spots,  no biggie
Abrupt ending.
Just minor nits. This is a very good song that puts me in a nice mellow mood.

Nice track, shame it cuts off so abruptly at the end, mix sound nice here on the Adam's

Thanks guys .. this is a bit of a bubble gum type song with the usual key suspects but I was trying out my expertise on playing drums to a track in real time .. I guess I miss the ball there Bjorn LOL .. Still I recovered my pride and have provided a serious remix ..no drums ... and a  l  o  n  g   ending  no snips 😎 ...Plus wishing EVERYONE on this site, some of which feel like real family.  all the best for your coming year ... stay well XX
