AndyB01 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 You had me at the opening riff - then a great vocal track and the guitar chops... - great stuff. Slight Dire Straits (and early 10cc) vibe for me. Great song - very nicely done. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Paul , for several reasons I like it too.. You've definitely got a Dire Straits guitar tone going on . I Really liked the piano at the start , it Immediately took me back to a 70s song by Traffic that I haven't thought of in years. "Low spark of high heeled boys" That was a great song with a great feel that took me back to a really good time. Thanks .. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Like Christopher Cross and Dire Straits got together? Way cool. I really like the space in the mix, and just one crit, check the levels on the vocal and the lead guit, sometimes they jump out really loud, just for a moment. For example, vocals at 1:30, guitar at 2:50. I like a cool story song, and the guitar and vocal performances are quite excellent. Cheers, -Tom, who happens to be currently working up an original tune "Empty Room" !!! Not as good as yours, sadly . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Kirby Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 That's a well constructed song - a very pleasant listen. Your vocal made me think of Christopher Cross a bit. I liked the mix - it sounds good to my ears. Also, the guitar playing was excellent - great tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Paul This song and your previous song Take it on the Chin have a nice nostalgic mood to them. Guitar playing is top notch as is the vocal. Big thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcumpian Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Excellent piece Paul! I think your vocals really push the song from "in the style of..." to uniquely your own. Yes, all of those influences are there, but this is still very much an original song. Mixwise, I like the arrangement a lot. Lots of room and everything is clearly audible. Great job on this!

Paul Bush Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
