I like that quirky beat! Good subject matter for the lyrics. Very unique which in this world is very necessary.

Thanks for listening Jack.

Thank you! I try hard on the vocals, but it isn't something that I was born to do - always nice to hear that they are at least OK 😄

Hi Nigel - thank you - yeah it probably is - I'm really losing the high frequencies in my hearing - I have to guess some now.

Wow - this is an older post, I think I missed it! Eleven albums, wow what a milestone. The song sounds great (you always do, your mix/master talents are really pro. And the video is also very professional. Great work.

I like it Andy - I don't think you need to change the singing - it works. Song matches the lyrics!

Nice relaxing song - the effect on that hi-hat (I think that is what it was) is cool, half verb a little delay maybe? It works.

Cool tune - I like the way the notes bend around, was that a tuning wheel (whatever they are called) - an interesting beat keeps it moving.

Great song - very nice vocal and mix.

HI Bjorn - The video really drives home the point! I like what you did with the end. I like the drum sound a lot. A friend of mine with very poor eyesight used to get a lot of screaming migraines. He was a really smart guy and read tons of books. The doctor finally helped him by changing his diet - I don't think he went for the drug route, but Excedrin used to help him. He doesn't really have the problem anymore - I wonder if age is a factor in the reduction.

Nice groove Kevin - vocal track sounds really good.

Sounds really good. Maybe boost the drums a little or do some EQ tweaking on them, but that is nit-picking. Steve

Hi Jerry - thank you for your comments. I did use an old Buster Keaton video for a Steely Dan cover I did. That was a lot of fun. https://baselines.com/?p=6373 Steve

Hi Kevin - thank you for your comments. I was really happy to come across those video clips. I thought that they worked well with the song. Steve

A day late, but I had to get it right. A video was added to the link below. https://baselines.com/?p=7156 Also on youtube direct link:

Thank you for listening!

Thanks Andy! Yeah It's done now. What's done is done and that will have to be how it stands. Steve

Absolutely. You know its a concern when you think 'what will my wife think of this? Has he got a 17 year old on the side?' Oh well. I think it sounds good and it's just going to have to stay like it is. Thank you for stopping by! Steve

Thanks for listening Nigel!

Thanks Jack!

Thanks Tom - and thanks also for taking the time to comment on Youtube. It's always nice to get notified that someone is out there! Steve

I love that comment about reverting! That's my sense of humor right there. Actually I thought about trying to do that at one time, but I kept thinking that sometimes (for me rarely) people have dreams in color, so it was like somebody going to sleep at that moment and switching into color. Plus it saved me some work not converting it. LOL Thanks for your input, I truly enjoy it.

I wrote some of this when I was but a young 20 year old, banging away on the piano. It laid dormant for years until I heard it on an old cassette a couple of years back. I started work on it, coming up with the acoustic guitar part that added a bunch of finger picking around the basic chords. I released it probably in 2016 time frame. After that, I kind of felt embarrassed a little bit, because I don’t write that kind of lyric very much, and it is the sentiment of a much younger man. I buried it, pulled it down off of Spotify and figured it would just languish on the garbage heap of my personal history. A few months ago, I thought about it again and figured that I liked the chord structure, so I should probably write a new lyric. I pulled it into Cakewalk Sonar and started reworking some of the tracks. I quite liked a lot of what was going on, and I made it better by redoing a few things. It got about time to rewrite the lyrics, and by that time I was thinking that I didn’t mind the current version that much and it was pretty cool as it was. So the Hell with it, I am going to release it again, and I am not going to be embarrassed by it, I think it is pretty cool for the genre that it is. And so what, I’m older now. So what! So WHAT! https://baselines.com/?p=7147

Hi Freddy - thank you for listening and for the great feedback! Steve

Thanks Mark - yes, that video from 1933 was really well done - I can't imagine how long it took to put together. Steve
