Bajan Blue Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Well, we are still in Lockdown here in Cape Town, and we have also had some awful weather, so the last video we were doing from our 2017 album has been delayed a bit. So I was just looking at some old stuff we had done and thought I would just post this video - one of our first videos from about 12 years ago - have to say I was really surprised at how bad the "technical" quality was - looks very grainy - things on this front have really improved - but anyway the music still sounds OK I think - hope you enjoy it Cheers Nigel PS - you might have to turn the volume on as this is hosted on our website and sometimes the volume is muted https://www.devinelie.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/honey_on_the_beach.mp4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Ooooh, there's music on the video too. ☺️ All the background sounds that accompanies the vocalist really sets a pleasant laid back mood. Didn't notice any obvious quality problems with the video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hi Bjorn Thanks for that - i think you can notice the grainy quality of the video when you watch it on a full screen. Anyway hope you liked it and thanks for taking the time to have a listen Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hi Nigel - like I've said before about your songs - they sound radio-ready. I enjoyed this one as well - did you sing the lead vocal on this? I enjoyed the video as well - Ursula Andress was a good looking lady back in the day.

DeeringAmps Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Think I mentioned sexy bikinis in another thread, oh the days back on Main Street in Seal Beach. A bit more "popy" than Devine Lie (not a crit, just an observation) to my ears. As always, top shelf in every way Nigel. ?'s t its the fifth of Sept and I'm just getting to Aug 29th? I gotta start pedaling faster, it is raining a bit this morning, maybe I'll have a bit of time today,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwnicholson78 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I couldn't concentrate on the music until I turned my monitor off. Once I did, I really enjoyed the song. Loved the chord changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, some of our older stuff with Dave singing did tend to be a bit more poppy, well that was until we went all sort of dark and mysterious, but that's another story!! keep well Nigel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABull Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Terrific 80s sound on this (of course, that also makes it a 2020 sound) -- much like Michael Franks doing some new wavey stuff (but alas he never did) -- the mix is fantastic and everything sounds great -- good work~~Allan.

freddy j Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I don't know what part of the initial beginning (including starting vocal harmonies) reminded me of Brazil 66 - but it did? Another home run Nigel! Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
