kennywtelejazz 1,126 Posted October 27, 2019 Sure , As far as your song went Yeah I can dig where your coming from .... Intense feelings w out any sort of reason for the injustices of being left in the dark and having all the feelings of being dumped while having to sort out and make sense of her actions and thought processes ... It has been a real long time since I had a girl that I really cared about kick me out to the curb and do a little dance on my heart w her stiletto's .. Now they just shut me down way before I can even get a hug , a kiss or even their phone number ... Kenny 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegaltieribrothers 173 Posted October 28, 2019 Hi John, Thanks for your kind comments and listening, it's good to know someone else knows the place. Hi Kenny, Oh to be danced on with stilettos - them were the days 😉 Thank you both for listening and commenting, it is really appreciated. regards paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjornpdx 644 Posted October 28, 2019 Paul Wow. Best song I've heard from you. Kind of old school pop tune. After listening for a while I was thinking that right here would be a perfect spot for strings, and there they were. Love the melody - it's stuck in my head now, probably all day. (That's a good thing.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Douglas Kirby 550 Posted October 28, 2019 I really liked that acoustic guitar - and your lead vocal was really cool. There were some pleasant BGVs as well. Just one crit - I thought the drums were buried in the mix - the bass was fine. Nice job on the lyrics - I enjoyed the listen. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegaltieribrothers 173 Posted October 29, 2019 Hi Bjorn, Glad it stuck in your head and that you like the strings. Hi Douglas, Thanks for your kind comments and your suggestion regarding the drums. Thank you both for listening and for your comments, they are really appreciated. regards paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPAK 143 Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Hi guys, What a smashing lyric, I love that they fit together and paint a picture without the lyricist thinking, not so much about rhyme although this does indeed rhyme, but the intention ... Must have taken a good lot of hours working this one out to get it right, and I agree with Bjorn when he says this is one of your best. It think the mix may need a tweak here and there as I felt the reverb was a little to wet on the guitars and the vocal ( Did you use the same type for Vox and guitar ?) could be a lot dryer but with a longer delay so separating that lovely backing from your voice. Peter Asher ( Jane's brother ) of Peter and Gorden fame, had the same kind of vibe to his songs back in the 60s ....nice one ... thanks for the post I really enjoyed it ... I'll go have another listen now 👍 ATB Steve Edited October 29, 2019 by SPAK 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freddy j 404 Posted October 29, 2019 Hey Paul ---- this is a heartfelt and beautiful song. The lyrics really express strong introspective emotions and the melody certainly brings that message home. I really like the acoustic guitar work and the introduction of the other instrumentation as the song went on. Your vocals really complemented the message of the lyrics. I agree with SPAK above --- this does have a touch of the Peter and Gordon vibe. Nice one!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegaltieribrothers 173 Posted October 31, 2019 Hi Steve, Thank you for the kind comments, to put you in mind of Peter and Gordon is a great achievement indeed! Hi Freddy, I'm glad you connected so well with the emotion of my song + thanks for the vocals comment. Thank you both for listening and commenting, it is really appreciated. regards paul 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeeringAmps 884 Posted November 4, 2019 I'm going to disagree with Douglas on the drum levels, a ballad like this I think its fine (I'd actually pull the bass down a bit). Mixing is such a personal thing and is there really only one right mix on any tune? Definitely a 60's vibe, Peter and Gordon, sure why not. I like it!
