Pleasant enough, but I think it's too repetitive. The recurring melodic background piece could be altered a little every measure or two for variety. -Bjorn

Great cover song and pretty close to the original sound, even to Ozzie's voice. Sounds like your elderly synth is still in working order! -Bjorn

Sounds good. So are those synthesized voices? I think you were dabbling in Synthesizer V a while ago. I like the innocent/elephants rhyme. -Bjorn

Noynekker: thanks I appreciate the comment Steve: Tubular bells, hadn't actually thought of that but yeah probably was an inspiration Jack, Leadfoot: thanks I appreciate the listen/comment Mark: hey thanks! Appreciate the comment on the mix, something I always have trouble with Wookie: Yep there's just something mystical about gamelan sounds imo. -Bjorn

Just another well produced and highly professional sound. Radio ready and maybe it's already out there? Have to say the falsetto bit at 3:00 didn't seem like it belonged in there, but just imo. -Bjorn

Great arrangement. Nice dreamy sound to it esp the vocalist. -Bjorn

Very well done Steve. I appreciate all the historical notes on the song too. I had no idea that George and John didn't perform on the song. -Bjorn

Wookie, the arps play off each other well. Really like the phaser effect too. -Bjorn

Brings up that giddy feeling at the beginning of a relationship. Very nicely done. -Bjorn

Mark, I love the leisurely pace, love the guitar and voc. This is one of those songs that transports me to happier times. IDK the pause at 0:52 took me out of it a bit, but just me. -Bjorn

Not Lost, Just Wandering Kind of spacy but melodic. One of the tracks is a revised bell instrument (Omnisphere Gossamer keyboard) that I've used in other songs. There's something about gamelan type bells and gongs that have a hypnotic effect when played in certain patterns. I was trying for something like that here but the song kept diverging to something else. Also, I kept falling asleep. ? Thanks for listening/commenting.

My favorite nylon guitar just got better. https://www.indiginus.com/renaxxance-ii-nylon-string-guitar-upgrade

I can't seem to come up with anything new so here's one I did five years ago. I thought it was pretty good. -Bjorn

This is really good Paul, very polished sound to it and your voice fits well with the genre. I like your stories about the marginalized people in society, in this song and some others of yours. Kind of reminds me of Freedy Johnston's music. -Bjorn

Jack, this is one of your best I think. -Bjorn

Radio ready for sure. I like the upbeat lyrics especially. -Bjorn

Never been a Grateful Dead fan so I was gong to skip this one but have to say I'm glad I tuned in. I love a song with a melody that stays with you and this one certainly does. Great job, Ross! -Bjorn

I always like your social commentary songs Freddy, because I always seem to agree with them. And I like how you always play a little blues in there, whatever the genre. -Bjorn

Nicely done classical piece Steve. Love the interplay of instruments and themes. The piano starting ~1:50 is outstanding. Thanks for posting the article. They have a long convoluted history of conflict which will likely never be resolved. -Bjorn

Kinda wondering how you connected all those synths. I see four Behringer ADA8200's but are the synths also MIDI'd up? That would be way too complicated for me! -Bjorn

I don't know how you do it, Nigel. Here's another great song and singer and story in a gorgeous video from you. Wishing you the best with your efforts. -Bjorn

This is really good. Great collaboration by two of my faves on the song forum. Wonderful opening guitar. Production is top notch as is Lynn's vocal. One thing I noticed is the gtr at 2:30. Seems like it should move up a bit, at least to my ears. Good job! -Bjorn

I haven't heard this song in a long time and it's so nice to hear it again. Really well done, Gary. I like the extra touches, like the drum beats in the wicked war part. I always wondered why the guy would leave a tropical island and go back to dreary England, especially during a war, but there it is. -Bjorn

I really like how the lyrics build up, how the guy is so perfect and he's every woman's dream. And you just know there's going to be something about him not so perfect, which is probably there at 2:45. I say probably because I couldn't make out the words right there which is likely due to my hearing loss issue. So can you provide the text because I really want to know what's up with this guy. ? -Bjorn
