SUPAREELS

Sorry for the late response guys .. thankyou for the input as I was thinking of doing this again and it feels like it needs it ( Allan ), I have to do a lot of my mixes on cans ( DT 770 and DT 250s although I do finish a project on monitors ... nod to Bapu many thanks for the listen , the HD 600s are my dream cans, I have other open backs I use to reference, but when I've listened to stuff through them ( other peoples ) everything is so clear and loud ...Gosh I think I have cans envy .. LOL S

Nice one .. not my thing but this had an oriental vibe and movement .... I enjoyed it thanks S

Well that's a blast .. your stuff improves all the while. I have to echo Gary's comment 'cause it creative and I thought the countdown was a good touch. I think you found your niche mate ..well done. S

Another laugh thanks ... Wonder what this we sound like back in the day if John / Paul did it ..cause apart from the fade out that's a ringer ... We been locked for what seems a lifetime as the wife was in hospital for 6 months last year with AML and now it starts all over again (Not the AML thank God ... the lock-down) ... and just because your a F/G songwriter I thought you might like to know when she came into the studio, we both had one of them pensive laughs you have one someone has nailed it ! Thanks Daryl S

Why ? It's the way every song of yours works ... kinda soft and unassuming ... ? S

Have to agree with Tom here ...plus the snare sounds a bit on the high side. That's all I got. S

How about a nice bit'O' Hammond, just to carry to carry the M8 @ 2.48 -216 , just for a bluesy feel .. Great voice though .. so different and unique ? S

It's hard to offer adjustments to a piece of music written with a loved one in mind. For me when my Dad passed I dug a huge hole in the back garden and made a fish pond from it with a waterfall ... that was my way to ease the loss ... I have listened to this twice with that thought in mind to give a balanced opinion, and the only thing I would say, with respect, is that the drums need to inject a grater feeling of, say, a parade ground, so the listener feels that everlasting rhythm carrying through, while the cellos, oboes and strings along with the piano play their part of sadness ... There are some tech things with the mix like pinching notes but hey .. it's for your Dad so ..all good. S

Excellent lyrics .. yep kinda ZZ vibe ..there's a lot of work here, not wasted on my good self so well done .. others have given crits that are beyond my pay-grade ..I just liked it ?? S

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about, grown up instrumental ... Cans, my comfy leather chair, large scotch and a bit of H/S ... (Made me think of Christmas some how) thanks for the posting and journey, great stuff mate. S

I get the Enya draw but I don't agree, your voice cuts through the slow arpeggio which makes it all a little less like an Enya rip off. I like Enya a lot ( I have all her albums ) but this is your song ..so keep it that way .. One nig is that as a lyrics lover, I wish you had the words on SC . I enjoyed listening to this so thanks for the post S

I missed this .. until now ! So many instrumentals posted here with, IMO, very little thought other than the usual synth mash up ... so I always listen ( usually for a few bars) but never comment 'cause to me they usually leave me cold. This has thought and timings that give movement, it really is a lovely bit of work and I love it ! The build, mix and overall 'feel' makes it worth that 2nd and more listen ..So well done mate ... for what that's worth. S

Saucy bugger ... ?! I still listen to 'Hold me down' Ace track... Yes this mix is much better, Somehow that guitar sound and playing makes me think of the way the great John Lennon played .. so all good back here in Blighty Keep'em coming, S

How do you do it every time ...bloody good lyrics and funny, great mix ...one thing is I'm hanging garlic over the door till it's over ? ..Thanks for the heads up ! Nod to James ..? S

Apart from a very low vocal ( shame that ), I really like this and your stuff Kevin, your vocal work is haunting and original .. think I'm becoming a fan mate ... S

Well done guys, took me w a y back to Peter and Gorden. Sure the mix has a 2020 vibe ,but I can see them doing this song back in the day. Not too keen on the drum part, seems a little on the raw side, but it makes this track pretty cool. never the less. One of my favs from you .. I have ... and will n'joy this one again ! S

Thanks John, I really appreciate the time and advice (How did you know I really suck?). My reason for the uphill struggle is that for the most part I can get achieve a result that I want with my songwriting, but there are times I want a fill that just doesn't seem to be easy to find even using the myriad of VST's to hand. I couldn't justify $5000 dollars but your idea of mix and match makes sense as it's all about the dynamics and sound ... plus a competent skins man! Once again thankyou it's a great help and I'll try it out S

Have to say I was sold on the title, and this song , mix and masterful video didn't disappoint. This, for me, represents utter perfection is song production. I've followed your stuff for ages now and this is one of your best ...so thanks for the post S

Thanks

Can those in-the -know give me some advise / help via UT on playing basic drums and rhythms ... I will be moving to a detached house in the near future and I've never ventured into the field of drums .. well not real one's at the moment, as I found a deal on Ebay for an electronic yammy set . I'm gonna have to build another sound room/recording studio and that's gonna go in the garage. I think I have everything down on soundproofing ....and it'll cost a bomb ... Plus as I have a load of gear in my old studio, that gets smaller by the shopping for toy's, it's time for a fresh start. Anyway, as a songwriter, I would like to, eventually ,play my own beats and rhythms ... I've got most instruments that I play Ok'ish but this is a completely new field for me, I never thought my right foot wants the bass drum to keep a beat with my right hand ! Nightmare! and I can count to four and divide ... so that's good. Anyway this HAS to be the right place to ask.

AWSUM !

Ultravox ... re-born ...Excellent work! love the build, but then I am a fan ? S

Vocal is hot chocolate,warm an sweet ... supa cool, great work m8 ... just didn't like the end bit is all, did you do it live ? S

You play the piano, so just practice how ( say C ) ..sounds in E or G ... with a vocal done in C and still running ..hard to start but you have the voice for it .. there are other keys to suit ... play it on the ol' joanna and give it a try M8 S

Love the message and sung with passion ..Godda agree with the 3pt harmonies on the chorus. Good one m8 ? S
