Very enjoyable, carefully crafted.

Hi Lynn,

Been waiting for you to update us as to what's new .. and.

The overall mix IMO is really good, I was distracted by the excellent vid work .. what the hell are you using? the sinc is perfect and I think if I lived in the 60s ( I did by the way ... and the 50s for that matter ) I would have wondered if the devil actually helped you ... 

This works sums up your talent in song writing and vid work ... for me it comes in at 10 !

Steve, what did you like better on the first mix?

I split the screen in the studio and played both versions side by side ( not at the same time LOL ) taking each section from one and then comparing it with the other

I think I prefer the 1st mix over the 2nd for quite a few reasons. The 'feel' is a little more 'in your face' as if your in the best chair in the night club.... this I my opinion is due to it having a bit more compression and the drums a little more, lets say crisp including the sax . the fills are a good addition and it's a strange thing as you say you fattened the bass a little in the 2nd V 🤔,   .. . It's just a personal thing though as in both versions the mix is excellent with, have to say, little difference, so it's not a criticism of the second variation .. just that I would have mixed it with the original take as done ... Still a bloody good bit of work !!

Well you knocked everyone into touch with this bit of work .. only a few people here can produce such talent  .... soo good  .. one of my favs now .. just for the record I liked the first mix better ..

Steve

I agree with Nigel.. really all of the comments .. a well thought out instro, but for me it lends itself to swimming with dolphins  ... ( maybe I should put some water with LOL ) 😉

Anyway great work !

Really nice Steve. Moving narrative. Lovely keys and guitar. If your looking for critique about the mix I would only mention the sibilance in the vocals. Everything else sounds real good on my end, Steve. Sweet tune! -Dean 

Very true Dean, and I let it go regarding EQ thinking I'd get away with it... but I wasn't counting on your ears 🤔 .. should I put this up for Spot I will correct it .. thankyou for the observation and comments it means a lot 👊

All the best

Steve

Thank you, Steve, I am utterly humbled and grateful for your kind works. I pushed the vocals up a bit and replaced the link with a soundcloud link, seems like the mp3 is pretty muddy to my ear, gotta fix that.

Much better ... sounds like Sting now LOL  Excellent mix Love it loads

Steve 👊🤝

I agree with the comments .. Wow what talent thanks for the post ,,,,, REALLY enjoyed this one !

Steve

Firstly IMO it's a really great song .. I think I could listen to your work all day long and still not have enough, you have a unique talent and although this is not your usual  vibe , I think you nailed it .. it's got a bit of Peter Gabriel in there and so to take that as a crit I feel the vocal should be a lot more prominent ... great stuff mate

Hi Bjorn

i tried to watch the video but it says it does not exist??

Nigel

 

 

....Me too ...

But I really feel these words, very brave of you but the sentiment is something we are all struggling with .. good work, just wish the vid hadn't been pulled

Steve

Probably one of the best songs lyrics wise .. production excellent ... wish it could reach the right ears mate ...

Steve

Bit late but /...... .just found this gem 👊

Fantastic vox and Dting but the vocal meter is f a r too slow for the feeling of this work,  ... it leaves one hanging too long the next line which in turn leaves the listener a bit frustrated ... not to take away your approach to a really lovely piece of work and the words , but for me I wish you had pushed it a bit ... so as to make the message more about what the listener needs to hear and not so much about the song ... 

JMO

Much love

Steve SRM

Gonna put this one next dinner date with my tribe  .... wish you posted the lyrics

SRM

Thanks mate .. praise indeed, I wrote the words with the two mothers in mind  ... and like all Mums they get overlooked through life ..but still keep giving. The two Mums are my own, now sadly not here, and my wife ... but I guess it could describe most good mothers ...

Thankyou for the comments Lynn, when considering your work, it means a lot

I had the original Sonar 4 ,5 up to Plat ...I knew everything about it but complained to this very forum ( bloody years ago ) that absolutely no-one or DAW mags seemed to take it seriously. Whenever you read about up new coming plugs you were given several DAW examples but SONAR PLATINUM was never one of them.

I absolutely thought ( and still do ) Sonar plat was one of the best out there ... I loved the old forum ( when Babu was only 16  Just joshing ) and it was a family of song writers and composers of all levels .... No company comes close to the feeling this place gives you ... good or bad.

When it was sold I reluctantly moved on to a very expensive CB (now12pro) and it never and still doesn't have that feel about it ... kind of cold, although an amazing DAW for film, music composition and production, I still use my old Sonar plat or Bandlab  DAW as first write ...like an old friend waiting to help with your song ...

My point is that there was always gonna be a move to the PRO 'buy this DAW' market eventually, so as to gain respect with the big boys ...  I think pricing will be favorable, so lets see if those of us that paid a LOT in the day for our Plat version get a good result ... I'm gonna bail out before the flames burn my arXse

Tallyhooo oooo

Great lyrics & groove ... me like ☺️

Steve

I think Mr Lennon would be pleased with your work .... you know I don't always get it ... but this is most probably your best ... is there an Indian theme running through this ..you know rhythm wise ..?

Steve

Love the take on a PP theme ...very relaxing and great guitar skills ...

Steve

THIS IS THE BEST from you IMO .. You got great vocal man and love the DT although they are bit off on the last few notes but hey ....

Not my kind of stuff but this I love 🤝 good job
