Douglas Kirby Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hi Everybody, This is a track from the "Westerly Sessions Volume III" that I just remixed and polished up - I also added a vocal harmony to it. As always, any comments and critiques are welcome, and thanks for listening.

Lynn Wilson Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Beautiful song, Douglas! This is polished, but not overly so, and has a certain vibe that draws me in. Should be heard by many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sprouse Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Liked the chord changes, the harmonic extensions rather than power chords. Also, liked the positive vibe in the lyrics. Hope the new year brings you lots of happiness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 This one caught me by surprise, Doug. More orchestral than your usual and it works very well. I like it! Well done. Hope you have a good new year. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark skinner Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Very nice clean mix. The repeating dissident chord change was cool. Great song .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Smith Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 If the Stones ever loose their lead singer I think they have a suitable replacement in you. The mix itself is perfect. Thanks for sharing. Nice work. -Tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I´m always jealous of these bloody clear sounding recordings mine in comparison are all muddy and muddled ..a bit like my brain ....good song 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Was that an oboe or something with a little lead line in the intro? Loved that. Very cool darker yet swinging vibe here. It's a very good mix, clear as hell. As an experiment you could automate the snare hits up .5db at least when you are not singing. The snare might drive it a little harder when it's just the instrumental. You might also draw that ending fade out a bit longer. Another earworm from Westerly Sessions. Hope there are many more volumes. cheers, -Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another 👍's worthy tune Doug, and as mentioned above, just a bit different; cool! t I'm way behind so did miss I Without a Care as well? Another 👍 worthy tune as well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
