Sheesh that's sweet.

Real purdy. I like how music of Ireland and Scotland can also sound kind of cowboy . . . git along Afton you little dogie. Cheers, Tom

Nice job Tim. Time to party like it's 1729. It's a great original piece that JS would dig. Straight Outta Brandenburg. ? cheers, -Tom

From a headphone listen, I'd say the bass is fine. Punchy. Maybe I heard it after you boosted things? Maybe also on monitors it becomes lightweight. I totally doubt it. ymmv. Nice mixing ear candy, very well done! -Tom

I listened on headphones. I liked it inside of the first second turned it on. Cool groove, cool progression, cool as hell! So I imagine you are still playing with eq and such? What's great about this groove is also what could be trouble - it's pretty dense with all the parts. As I listen to the bass guitar, I get (again, on headphones, HD380 pro, they have decent bass response) I'm hearing the wonderful "plucky" bass highs. But also, some really deep and kind of gushy sub-bass. I think you also have some kind of boomwhacker in there? I'd maybe tame that sub-bass region just a bit, it fills and fills the basement. Might be worth moving that hpf up just a tad? It's most noticeable around 1:30, whatever chorus or section you have there. Maybe a bit more variation in the drum fills? OK, again, great song, vocals totally work a treat, I could hear plenty of the lyrics. Wouldn't this be fun to play live? The room would go crazy. cheers, -Tom

Nice one. Welcome to the forum! Very tasteful all the way through. Mix-wise, maybe bass up a tad. I listened on headphones but could still have used more root. Your tune has a cool laidback triplet swing feel. Goes down easy! cheers, -Tom

Happy bday gents!

You could substitute some wheat grass, kale, chia seeds, flax oil, and kelp . . . for the chocolate ice cream. Then go out for dessert at Baskin Robbins.

I think it fits that drawing very well! Something was going on in the wide panning, some creepy atonal blender. Nice . . . certainly sets its own limits. The windchimes perhaps a bit much? Are windchimes the musical cliche that a cowbell has become? Perhaps I just had a traumatic windchime experience as a child. Off to therapy now. Still a fun listen! cheers, -Tom

Andy Kaufman?

Nothing wrong with being patriotic! And loving the flag. The melody of your song has some very tasty intervals - nice leaps that land in some sweet places. I think also your cadence of lyrics is more measured here, which is great. No spots where a lot of words rush out of the old pipes in a short amount of time. Excellent phrasing! Cheers, -Tom

I believe, in full respect, we should say "A" Flock of Seagulls. Unless you are referring to a totally different band. Or flock.

Where's bapu? This Fred's too big without him.

Where will the kids not go when they don't want to buy our mp3's?

Nope. Good luck tho.

The sting is, I tried to summer the courage to not respond, but alas, the temptation was more than I could copeland with.

Maybe 1x is just a bit cleaner, clearer. To be honest they sound pretty close to me. I think the effectery towards the end of 1x might be improved, and the vocals in 1x seem just a bit clearer? Hard to tell. I like the pulse and the gobs of psychedelia. Cheers, -Tom

Maybe this one did a u-turn and headed back into the womb. ?

Vocals are amazing! Maybe a few more fills in the drum programming? Cheers, -Tom

You are bringin' it with those guitar lines. Just great tone and chops. I did not expect that portomento synth in the middle part. That was nice! My only mix thought might be on those wide panned acoustic guitars, sometimes it feels their strums are coming in just a hair early. You might slide those tracks back just a few nudges as an experiment, does it groove a little easier? I could be all wet on this. Kudos for your song and best of health to you and yours! -Tom

Clang your gear points forcefully against your jam credits!

That llama is so hot, . . . it's molten.

Well good on ya for trying something new. Best of luck in the journey. This song does have an 80's feel to it, at least for me. Strong vocals as usual! Mix was clean as well. Personal reactions to the themes or subjects chosen aren't worth much, but honestly this one didn't really connect with me, sorry. Maybe I'm just remembering the strengths of your more country material. Who cares? One has to grow, or die. Nice job! -Tom

Too bad it wasn't longer. Really good work on this. -Tom

Boy that guy lays back a beat on the vocal . it's a style thing. Nice voice. Cool guitar from Mark no999, welcome back! Super clean mix on my headphones. Cheers. -Tom
