SUPAREELS

This should be on national TV ! There's a lot of hard work in this vid, not wasted on me, so well done ... Steve

Thanks Garry for a great rendish ...loved it ! (even with the few timing/tune errors) ATB Steve

Many thanks for listening and commenting ..( just wondered how it sounds at 53 mph LOL ?) Best regards Steve

VERY much appreciated Barry, thankyou for listening and your comments. Steve

It's an old song David that you've heard before, but doesn't represent anything in particular in my life. I posted this some time ago as just a CW upload ( No video ) but as said I have this Power Director 365 software suit and never used it, so I thought I'd try using it in the control room with me singing this song. It's nothing like your stuff as I am not an established musician, just a words kinda guy with an empathy for life ... I guess that's where this comes from, in that, we have all suffered hurt at some point, fell in love, didn't work out and so forth ... I can assure you I have the same affinity with classical music, just that I'm not skilled in the art of writing it, although it brings a tear sometimes when I listen to how it makes one feel..... That's where your work comes in ...... Thanks for the comment my friend and for listening ! Stay well Steve

Thanks Jon good to hear from you and that you enjoyed the song . All the best Steve

As usual that burnt chocolate vocal holds you to the song ... makes you wanna open your presents early. Have to say though I don't get the musical bit of the song, do you arrange and play any instruments ? As David says in he's comments the arrangement is top notch .... and I have Mic envy LOL Stay well mate Steve

Thanks Tom, I don't think I can get anymore Db from the main vox with determent to the overall mix. Given what you commented on, my thinking would be perhaps I should give each track better placement and little more space which would allow a wider field and give the vocal a tad more clarity ... I wont post but I'll see if it works either by upping the vox or providing 'air' to the mix .. good one mate Stay well Steve

Thanks Freddi, I am so pleased you enjoyed the song (warts an all ) ! All the best Steve

Thanks for the excellent and intuitive feedback Barry. I have written stuff for other people over the years but most of the time, to me anyway, they lost the meaning of the work for the trade off betweer the beat or melody .. that's OK cause it sells .. I never made big bucks and never will ( I'm here with my songwriting palls .. so who cares ) .. but as long as I reach someone .. it's all good ..... very good ! Your comments are much appreciated ? Steve

Ok ... but what about the piano and arrangement and stuff ... Gotta tell ya it brought a tear and so I am interested ... / ?

You know that sometimes all a song needs is the message, warts an' all, I have always felt your vocal is burnt chocolate .. soothing with an edge ... who played piano, a little bright in the mix but effective, although sometimes a contrast in the melody can be a great help to reach the listener, in the work you achieved this before your chorus .. have to say overall this song reached my heart ... really .... and you don't need my comment mate to know you have talent ! Great songwriting thanks Stay well Steve

Many thanks Paul ...and for listening glad you liked it ? All the best Steve

Many thanks Andy, I take your crits and might go back and reprint but for the time being I'll bask in the kind comments LOL ?. I'm thankful for your listen. Steve

Your comment comes as a big surprise to me, so many thanks for listening .. I feel like the head master just gave me a house point ! ? Stay well Steve

Thanks for the comment mate and your time to listen. Steve

Aww Gary, your too kind now I can't get my head through the studio door ! ? Thankyou for the comment mate ? Steve

Thanks Tom, regarding the snare, it's not something I thought about when recording this, as I left the rhythm more as a click guide .. I wish I had paid more attention to now 'cause your right .. ? All the best and stay well Steve

I agree with 'noynekker' it's true that you have used those samples in sympathetic way and it works for me. I think, going to your back catalog, the improvement in your creativity is really evident ! I listened to this in the lounge with a brew looking out at a rainy cold morning ..this somehow fitted my mood, very calming. Steve

If this were brandy it would have XO written on it .. bloody great !!! S

Nothing more to add but just loved it .. have to agree with Tom though ... too short, could listen to this stuff all day ! S

Great song ! for me I didn't think of Springsteen a got sort of Dylan vibe .. in any event great mix and very up ...which we all need ? S

Thanks mate, as regards to the YouTube post, I have had the software ( Power director 365 ) for a while and never used it and I wondered how they make music vids so I give it a shot ... lip sync is a bitch though LOL. Take your point about the drowning, think I got carried away a bit doing the whole thing. Thanks for your comments and keep well my friend. Steve

Thanks, I have a bit of work to do but your comments are so encouraging, thanks for your ears S

Thanks for the comment Lynn you are very kind ? S
