Paul Bush Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Well hi chaps , I always wanted to write this type of pop rock song so I came across this piano riff and the rest is how they say history cheers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Paul, this is a damn good song, with a clear, well-balanced mix, good arrangement, and very good vocals. I hear many influences here, and I never get tired of this style of music. The only crit I have is the bass guitar. I've read your post in the instruments forum and noted your concern with the bass, and while I like the part, it just seems to be missing the low end to balance out your bass drum. But, that's all; the rest of the song sounds "radio ready". All in all, I'm ready to listen again for the fun of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Paul, I made a note while listening via headphones and it's the same as what Lynn mentioned, namely the bass should be brought up more. Topnotch song in that kind of Steve Winwood 80s genre (IMO).I really like your music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 You definitely captured that genre of pop. Nothing to add to the above comments. It all sound good to me. Nice one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hi well thanks chaps , all your comments mean a great deal t to me as Ive been using Bandlab for just over a year and I feel with every recording I´m making slight improvemants .You`re not going to blieve this but I mastered from wave onto mp3 and boosted the bottom end so that i could to post onto soundcloud and on uplouding to SC all the cymballs developed a chorus effect and were distorted so I deleted and posted just the wave file I´m not sure why this happened ? cheers P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl1968 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 good stuff Paul - great vocal. My only criticism is that the intro is too long imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hi Daryl, you are speaking to the man of short intro`s and a man of dam short trousers , I hate long intro`s myself but in this case I just thought it worked with this type of ..dare I say it alan parsons type insipired song albeit with not so many electric keys etc although i take your point one could nod off before the song gets going ..haha cheers Pb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bush Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hi t, yeah well put that man , I didnt hold myself to a 3,30 deadline on this one, what with the intro being so long it felt just right do that way cheers Pb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Walsh Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Great tune! This reminds me of the great male vocal acts of the 60s like Neil Diamond and Gary Puckett. Nice to hear people making music like that still. My only real nit is the relatively unchanging nature of the rhythm section. I think more attention to building and releasing energy as the song progresses would take this song to another level, particularly around the guitar solo. Really good vocals with an engaging m elody!

Paul Bush Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hi Kevin thanks for your comments , to be honest I was a bit worried that the bass was going to be a bit boring after a while , I should have changed It during chorus, I was thinking of adding a bit more synth but the the song would have been even longer due to the intro being so long ( I liked it that way though) in hinsight I didnt have an overall concept and didnt map out the song , cheers Pb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you had a listen to my last song ``Joyriding,´´ also with quite good vocals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Have to agree the bass needs to be a little more present but other than that you pretty much nailed it, thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
