Lynn Wilson

There's much wisdom in your words!  But how to get people to listen?  Writing catchy songs like this is one answer.  Your words are poetic, your music is addictive.  This is another in a long list of hits, Fred!

a song with tons of power

Thank you for your comments, which are greatly appreciated!  I've been enjoying your smooth, jazzy songs for a while, so your words are meaningful to me.

Nice  

Thank you so much, kind sir!

I had trouble with this upgrade, too.  Usually, CW is easy as pie to update, but this wasn't advertised, and there was no information on how to activate it.  I had to dig for a while until I figured it out.  This wasn't the best rollout of all time for CW, and they could have made it a lot easier and quicker had they put information in the early access page.  One shouldn't have to be mocked for being confused over this issue!

Well done    Lynn .. But you did  have me at the last beat  ....

Excellent lyrics, but you godda listen to get them cause they are well  deep.  This one is almost progressive but you still have a Beatles vibe / break, in you stuff ... I may have to take you up on Keg offer 😉.  Love to do that chorus with you with pint on the amp stack  LOL

Stay Loose

( BTW just invested in EZKeys on your recommendation Woooa!! )

Thank you very much, Steve!  I'd love to do some pints with you and talk about lyrics.  Yours have always intrigued me, and I'm just trying to keep up   I hope you enjoy EZKeys as much as I do.

Nice, Terry, very nice!  Your mix is clean and balanced, and your vocal is moving.  Sorry for your loss - this is a good tribute to your friend.  Keep it up!

Good job, Paul!  You got your message across very well.  Keep up the good work!

I second what everyone else said.  This is brilliant stuff!  Long live Cakewalk!

This is one of my favorite tunes of yours, Jack.  It's progressive and quirky, but it carries a lot of weight in its message.  This is the kind of song that becomes addictive after a few listens!  Keep up the good work!!

Thanks for the lift, my friend!  I can hear it modulating up a minor third for 8 bars and then back down, but it doesn't need that, really.  This stands on its own, and kudos to you!

You've long since mastered the art of the mix, so I'll just say what a cool song this is.  Having listened to Steely Dan and Jeff Beck so many times, this is right up my alley.  One of your great strengths is your versatility!  I never know what to expect from you, and I'm never disappointed.

I think you've done a good job of mixing this interesting song.  Until I heard the alternate version, I was going to suggest turning up the vocals.  Your mix is clean and punchy, and I think you did a fine job with the drums.  The other version has a wider mix, but your panning is well done regardless.  This is much better than my first attempts at mixing.  I'll give this a B+, and you're only gonna get better!

Terrific song and production!  Music like this deserves a huge audience.  Keep cranking them out!

You just can't beat a good pedal!  Good song and a good demo that went by very quickly.  I'm gonna play this a few more times.

This is a haunting vibe, all in all.  Though I've never been on a battlefield, it causes a visceral reaction in me.  The production is very good and one to be proud of!  Keep it up.

What a powerhouse of a song.  Yes the guitar work is great - as i s the bass.  The arrangement and timing used in the song was creative and doggone good!  Your vocals and harmonies were equally as good.  The lyrics were excellent and very poignant for today.  I always enjoy the "additions" that you include in your songs.

Excellent work  and well done pal!

Fred, you've always been very supportive of my music, and I'm always grateful!  Comments like these make it all worthwhile.

Great stuff!  I like this mix. Very dense, and yet I can easily isolate everything in every direction. Solid guitar work & lyric combined with an interesting sentiment.

Believe me, I know the work that went into this.  Much appreciated. - Daniel

I appreciate you, Daniel!  I did let this one simmer for quite a while, but I'm starting to see the endzone, at last.

great guitar tone.drums seem a tad loose.bring up kick and snare.jack c

Hi Jack, thanks for your suggestion.   The drums are preset grooves from Superior Drummer 3, so if anything is loose, it's probably the guitars or bass.  I'll listen for that.

Hi Treesha, I'm successfully using the latest CW with the same version of Melodyne that you're using.  Have you tried changing algorithms?  I typically use the melodic algorithm, but if it flatlines, I change it to polyphonic sustained and get the proper notes showing.  Or, it may be a different algorithm for you, so try a few.  Good luck!

Brilliant mate. Love it. The chorus is amazing and I wish I wrote it

Lynn, I always listen to your songs several times to appreciate the accompanying bits you do so well (and maybe steal them 😁)  No exception here and I agree with Daryl about the chorus which is still playing in my head hours later.  Great job.
-Bjorn

Bjorn, I'm sorry about the earworm, but whatever it takes   You encourage me, as well!  Thanks a million!

This being an election year inspired me to put some of my thoughts to music, and this song is the result.  I've been playing with the mix for several months until I hit on this version.  I'm now ready for comments to see if I'm heading in the right direction.  As always, I'm thankful for your contributions and ideas.

If I ever go over the pond ...begs you buy the first pint LOL

I'll buy the first keg!

Thank you for putting this out, Steve!  I've been waiting for something like this for a long time.  I look forward to playing these songs over the next few days, even though I've heard most of these songs several times.  I have a few friends that I want to share this with to impress them with the quality of music that this forum has to offer.  "Are We Lovers" still blows me away since the first time I heard it.  A masterpiece!

Or, lasso it with right button.

Good song, Rex!  I like the way you keep experimenting with styles.  You just keep getting better!

This is on its way to becoming one of my favorite songs by you!  Congrats!!
