DeeringAmps Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Very good Steev! Straights I get that, but kind of a Springsteen vibe too, and I mean that in the best way. I's put a bigger verb on that snare, but hey its powerful as is. Maybe just a bit more level on the organ when it comes in at 4:02? And I'd use that same organ in the outro. Just me, but hey; your song, your production... thumbs up, fer sure from me! t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I have every minute nuance of the original committed eternally to memory. Kudos to take this on, it's such a great song. I like your vocal stylings. The music bed is very faithful. cheers, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now that you mentioned it, now I'm thinking I should have left it alone, hmmm. Also I didn't realize the Springsteen vibe at the time, but now that you mentioned it, I get now, LoL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And having previously suffered thru a similar tragic love story myself not very log before this was released, it took me years to even even be able listen to this piece thru to the end without breaking down. And then the other day after picking up my Alvarez Acoustic and simply finger picking away waiting for inspiration to strike the right chord, before I knew it, this is where my Muse lead me without even realizing it. 🤔 I have written countless songs, so many I've lost track of how many, but that's not entirely accurate because I've never sat down with the "intention" of writing a song, it's more like these songs are living observing expressions of life that write themselves... I feel it would be nothing short of being pretentious, or maybe even dishonest to believe that I could write an original song more heartfelt then this.

Steev Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) And one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE things I Love about Bandlab.com is when someone like Steve Botterbusch revises a song and records himself playing his drum set in his garage in New Bern, No. Carolina from his iPhone directly into the Bandlab Mix Editor. 😜 Romeo & Juliet Revision Edited March 24, 2020 by Steev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
