Hidden Symmetry Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Enjoyed the tune, nice harmonies & 60's vibe. 1
Douglas Kirby Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Cool song Allen - I enjoyed your vocal as I always do - and I liked that instrument you brought in on the 2nd verse on the left - sounds like a synth. Solid mix - sounded good to me. 1
Bajan Blue Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Good song and great vocals - I like the reverb Cool Nigel 1
DeeringAmps Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 There are a number of members of the forum you know you can count on for well written, well performed submissions. Allan ranks among them... t 1
garybrun Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Very 60's sounding. Backing vocals.... well done. Everyone paints different pictures.. but it would bring the keys up a little (is there a Rhodes in there... some synthy sound too that seems to be in the back?) well done mate. 1
freddy j Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Great sounding 1960's pop-ish sound. Your vocals, harmonies and BGV,s sound very good indeed. To my fossilized ears the melody and vocals have a wee bit of a McCartney sound (a complement indeed!). Good work Allan! 1
Guest Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Great vibe on this Allan, really enjoyed the listen. Very well crafted as always. Andy
noynekker Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Allan . . . very well written song, and I always dig your vocals and harmonies. You have a characteristic "slide up" in the vocals of many of your songs that I like. I'm not hearing the 60's thing others have mentioned, for me, it needs more tambourine to sound 60's . . . or, more cowbell to sound 70's ? Lol. My mix preference here would be to have the vocals lower and the instruments slightly louder, drum balance is good. On headphones it sounds more balanced, but listening on smaller speakers, I hear the vocals standing out a lot, but alas, they sound great, so no real offense there. 1 1
Paul Bush Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Groovy tune, so clear , I can hear so many influences in there , nice one 1
Kevin Walsh Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Lots of stuff to like in this one. As always with your stuff, there are great vocals supporting a good melody over some truly interesting harmony. Sometimes I hear a strong Atlanta Rhythm Section vibe in there. Great playing everywhere you look. As for the mix, you always do a great job getting a "modern/vintage" vibe going with all the parts, nice and clear but smooth too. To my ears some additional work needs to be done to get all the parts to gel together better, but I'm not sure what that would be. Perhaps some light compression on the sub-mixes? Finally, that is one groovy bass line, bro! 1
