Well its all been said really ,I have a well untrained ear so I´ll not nitpick as i have`nt a clue, so from my laymans point of view it really hot the spot cheer´s nice one..Paul DB

The vocals were more than great, so well sung and recorded I wish i could do somethng so good as that. everythng so clear

Hi Larry, way out of my class, loved it, the violin sounded beautiful was the guitar virtual or live ? it was hard to make it out, really well played .

Thanks Bjorn and Dan for the encouraging comments , On the usual music web sites I hardly ever got any response at all good or bad ..so since installing bandlab and being a member on this forum things have really changed , once again thanks for taking the time to respond cheers Paul DB

been there many a time

Loved the whole thang , I kept waiting for a chord change that didnt come and I´m so pleased it didnt (just shows how I´m pre-progammed verse chorus verse etc )I loved the southern, modern country, dare I say Doobie feel , cow bell in the mix and shakers gave it a great groove ...guitars bloody great ....write some more of these please ..top man cheers

Great song love the intro snare sound , vocal was way upfront super guitare work Ooohh yeah well done

This is a movie score , all you now need is a movie , really nice

What i really like is the back beat its almost like a heartbeat that drives the whole thing meandering along evokes all sorts of moving visions ..really like it

Great stuff super production and I loved the Bass and guitars, those breaks really gave the whole thing a structure ..super

Well done , loved the tamblas ? and the whole feel...... didnt want it to stop , so that`s a good thing

Well Ive opened a can of worms there then.... I do have a small library of riff`s for the times when my creativity is wanening I pop back and give them another go sometimes something pops out mostly not , I have a riff thats over twenty years old and I still hit a brick wall and cant get further but I´m not man enough to delete it I´ll still have another go at in a couple of months y´never know ?????

O.k.thats fine then........I´m not alone , that makes me feel much better cheers paul Db

Hi guys, Do you ever suffer from ``motivation slump´´ after investing severl hour`s brain banging and head scratching, of trying this trying that on a song when what at first seemed to be a a corker of a hum-dinger ended up as a stinker and then put to one side for later in the ``try again later tray ´´ ..So day`s pass by a or week maybe and then one thinks `I dunno I´ll give that another try it wasnt that bad ´.....And its sill not hitting the spot after once again hours of trying this and that ....problem is , you have now invested even more time and enegy in this Turkey ..and it`s still not cooking . At what point do you give up ? ..I have such a song where is built up solely on stop and go recording weeks months have gone by but I still just cant give up on it although in my heart of heart I know it is still a half backed and bad basted turkey ..then the worst g happens when someone say`s `` what are you crazy ? that`s a great song ´´ the fact that it`s opinion of your half deaf eighty year old gandma who is an expert on nothing less Des O´Connor is neither here nor there , Once again and with a gusto we spring into action with a new found wave of high motivation and self belief stuffing in hand ready to fill out those empty cavities and so we start from the beginning once again .... I have such a song and will post it somewhere in the future not for praise or adulation No ! I just want confirmation that the bloody thing was a Turkey from the beginning ...pass the stuffing ...regards to all Paul DB

Well Well , now you come to mention it Traffic`s ``low spark ´´ Christopher Cross , Dire Straits , etc were all huge influences , not to mention Van morrison, Bonnie Raith, Robert Cray , Robben Ford , Joni Mitcell, Rickie Lee Jones, and so many others and at the end of the day they all influence ``my style´´ (if I have one ) thanks for all the really nice well informed comments ``low spark`´ have nt heard that album for many a year ..I´ll pop dwom stairs a give it a spin for old times sake .I really appeciate t all of your input .cheers Paul DB

Cheer`s Andrew , Its a simple song and It s really one of my personal favorites .. I dont have many of them , in fact its the only one all the influences are there to hear . wear it on my sleeve thanks for the comments paul DB

Hi , I wrote this one a while back and for some reason I really like it , it has a lot of space /depth by chance rather than design its not everyones cup of tea but there you have it cheers Paul DB

Thanks guys , to perfectly honest I´m not much of a Bassist, or come to that a good guitarist ,But what I `ve learned over the years, less is more and play within ones reach and play a melodic solo rather than a fast one , when I started out to write songs I´d play everything myself as I`m too empatient to wait for someone else to help me out , and yes it lacks ``funk´´ i think because I use EZ drums I´m slighty constrained to the patterns and I never seem find the perfect fills , and yes son a preacher thing definitely there I knew it and well....... ignored it .so much stuff sounds like so and so, so i take it in my stride otherwise i´d never finnish a song .. as a foot note all my songs were as `demos´intended and one day to be freshly recorded with proper musicans in a studio ( when I win the lottery) dont hold yer breath as the say. regards Paul DB

Yep Tom see what you mean with the kick ,Ive now listened to it again and now i´m not too happy with the whole thing , really needs tightening up , I think what is in my opinon basicaly a good song is sadly let down by the bad mix . regards Pau DB.......Ohhum back to the drawing board

``Yoodoo the Voodoo ´´ I met Ermin Wärnä from Sweden on a fb music group, he had the riff and I was inspired and did the rest, this is the first colaboration Ive ever been involved with ....... such a great riff , soo easy to write over the lyrics and melody were finnished in twenty minutes , the recording however took ages (too many knobs, switches and faders) this was my real first bandlab effort, I´m slowy getting my head around the workings of this fanatsic music tool , Overwhelmed at times I have a lot to learn but still lots of fun any tips would be welcome regards Paul DB

Yeah I liked this one , I think I would have added a vocal harmony somewhere after the second verse . even so still a good song .

Hi Dan, So much in there but never too much and over busy, everything so well ballanced, production perfect, so much depth , just really great cheers PB

Yeah I liked the song , with a super production and the video quality was super .

Hi Dan , Thanks for the encouraging comments , I try to keep things as basic as possible there`s always something that niggles after the mix down ( I´m useles at the mixdown stage), funny thing is one can never tell which song is the strongest, the one`s I like are usually the ones no-one else does .. cheers PB

Everything in there really good ,exciting , I wish In had hair . to go with the Prog rock hippy feel
