Song: Two Contradictory Points of View

[Barry Seymour]

I am really proud of this one.

[Keith Wilby]

Rightly so, it's moody and magnificent. Perhaps a bit of verb on the vox?

As Keith said, Rightly So!
Another fine piece of storytelling Barry.
Lot of introspection in your tunes, but I guess that is really what
being a singer/songwriter is all about.
Really like the ambiance on the solo guitar, very nice.
(my way of asking: what verb and delay are you using?)

I'm know wearing this out; but it only takes a minute to jump over to SoundCloud, put a "like" and maybe drop a comment.
Just sayin'.........

Nice track - great job

At 3.28 on my system the bass sounded a bit off - but this could be   what I am listening on - pretty small monitors

There's just a touch in there. Too much and it would take away from the personal vibe I was striving for.

Just the Sonitus effects included with Cakewalk. Sonitus Reverb and Surround.

A "staple" for me at one time; still use Sonitus delay in every project.

Surround

Never used that, I'll check it out.

You were up late last night or early this morning?

I can't call my collaborator in CA before noon; he's still a "night owl"...

Actually, not an error. The Am goes to an AmMa7, I wanted to echo that with the bass. You can hear the same thing at 1:28.  Good ear, though!

Late last night. I have to work at the kitchen table, around my family's schedule.

Barry,  Beautiful song and well performed but most of all I admire the heartfelt honesty in the lyrics.  

I understand how cathartic it is to put your feelings down on paper, in words you can look at. It's even better to put those words in a song which you've done so well here.

[PhonoBrainer]

Beautiful vocal over cool chord changes. Guitar is liquid, supportive, alive.

One crit FWIW I'd drop a little more ambience on the sidestick and the hihats/cymbals, they're hecka dry compared to the guitars.

 

cheers,

-Tom

Cathartic, yes. A little bit terrifying too, to be honest. But it is what it is. I wrote it, I recorded it, now I gotta put it out there.

Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks. Stratocaster on the left, fingerpicked Takamine acoustic on the right. Solo was on my cheap Squier Tele, with Fender Vintage Pickups. A surprisingly good axe, after some upgrades and adjustments.
