mark skinner 647 Posted October 25, 2021 Paul , It's been a while and you Sure came back Strong with this one. Sounds like dance music that I used to Love in the 80's and 90's. Kinda new wave'ish and it brought me back to my long gone Saturday nights. Great energy. mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wookiee 1,745 Posted October 27, 2021 Well Paul this one hits the road running, this has a certain vibe about which harks back a few years but it works, mix sound fine hear, perhaps a little more weight in the bass/bottom end to bring it to the modern sound. I liked it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjornpdx 1,005 Posted October 27, 2021 Paul You definitely have the 80s sound there. Love the lyrics! Kinda describes that giddy feeling at the beginning of a relationship that changes once you realize (s)he's not at all like you imagined. -Bjorn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freddy j 596 Posted October 28, 2021 Very nice indeed. Love the post-new wave feel to this song. The upbeat tempo and lyrics really make this song a winner. Oh ya, the instrumental fills and accents definitely add to the song. Well done!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhonoBrainer 1,817 Posted October 30, 2021 Love this tune, the poppy 80's, the vocals. Maybe the drums could do with just a bit less presence when you are singing? Maybe cut the reverb a bit on the drums when you are singing? You could cut the drums completely from 2:03 to 2:06, let that vocal transition pop out a bit more for impact? Just a thought. Quite good in a 1986 kind of way - thanks! cheers, -Tom 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STEVE POOLE 229 Posted November 2, 2021 Smashing lyrics ! You have loved and lost, that's for sure . Tom has great input when it comes to this song, so it's worth the time to see if he's comments work in the mix. My only crit is that the vocal, although good, seems a little rushed, to me it seems your trying to catch up with the beat, but as said I love the words you chose for the story and like the other guys here the 80's feel. Well done ATB Steve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you both for listening and commenting it means a lot. best wishes paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noynekker 375 Posted November 6, 2021 Great pop song brothers, liking the vocals and lyrics a lot, this was the music that even the clumsy (like me) could dance to back in the day I was thinking as I was listening how that smashing omnipresent long tailed snare sound ruled the 90's . . . and it made me wonder if you've ever tried a version of this with a tighter reverberant snare ? It's such a well crafted song idea, but seems very tied to the 90's by that snare sound. Don't get me wrong, if that's what you were going for, you nailed it ! . . . but still I wonder. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
