PhonoBrainer Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Maybe fade in the rain sounds a little more slowly in the very beginning? Love those vocals, the delay lines are very tasty indeed. Maybe make them a little louder relative to that very pristine guitar? When are the drums coming in? Maybe they are not! Bass note @ 1:52 comes in early? I dunno. Those different lead tones towards the end are a great add. Holy Hannah, those vocal blends are killer diller. Dig the ending, nice sustain chord choice. That was awesone. cheers, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPAK Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 See the thing is ... your vocal and guitar playing are so profesh ..... how can you not like this .. How? (But I agree that perhaps the rain should last longer ... as it does here in Devon ?️?) One of your best IMO ATB Supa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of your best IMO ATB Supa hey spak! i appreciate your comments. that was an actual rain storm, of all places, salt lake city!! and i simply stuck my AT4033 out the open door, cranked up the preamp gain, and let it run. that particular piece i used, seemed pretty dramatic, but would then go into a nice smooth rain. which is kind of the memory of the lyric. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrydf Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Yes, great sng and arrangement. I agree the vocals could be up front a bit more - it's a good voice - don't lose it! But the guitar work is also good, nice riffs. jdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Another great sample of your incredible work. Your voice and guitar playing are equally good, but can't overlook your talent for writing good lyrics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amicus717 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Boy, do I like this one. Just a great song all around -- really catchy, great playing and vocal work. Totally enjoyed it. To my ears, the refrain evoked the slightest hints of America (the band, of course), especially in the vocal work. I do agree that the storm fade-in at the beginning is rather abrupt. A more deliberate fade in might work quite nicely, here. But that's really a minor quibble. Really grade A stuff, IMHO. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob America, i really liked that band when i was growing up, listening to the radio, funny you mention them. they were never an influence as much as, say, CSN&Y were, but still, it's a very similar thing, to the eagles as well. nothing wrong with those bands!!

Sailor55 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Love it! Was waiting for drums... then figured it out. No drums, and that's fine. Thunder & wind chimes actually do suffice. Beautiful chords, great vocals and, how can I say it, spooky feel. Well no, spooky is not the right word, but this piece transports me to an exotic place and I quite like it there. Thanks. - Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Absoflippinlutely outstanding!!! Every bit of this song is brilliant (as is most of what you do) and I mean this from top to bottom (e.g., performance, skill, production, arrangement, great vox and harmony, lyrics, etc., etc.). I even like the brevity of the rain in the intro. IMHO everything about this is professional! Well done my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
