"Call Across The Leagues"

[Barry Seymour]

Got a new one. This is quite a departure for me, although this is the sort of thing I used to sing a lot when I was younger. Informed by both my time in the Navy in the 80s and by modern technology today. Let me know what you think!

Edit: It's released!

Nice - what a vocal you have - always a pleasure to listen to. I really liked the orchestral background in the song.

I enjoyed the lyrics as well - good job there.

Yeah Barry always a joy to hear your vocals , another good song , just lovely ..great production as always ..cheers

I always get a "twinge" of professional jealousy when I hear your tunes Barry (its a personal failing of mine, I'm workin' on it).
Well done, huge progress the last year on the production front. Performance and writing were always "there".

 That was Very well written and performed. I really like the deep crispness in your voice and loved the tone of the backing guitars.  Nearly a 6 min song it didn't seem long at all. Great job mark

Barry, you really set a high bar when it comes to songwriting and producing!  Great lyrics always makes a voice better, but you really don't need much help there.  You may have posted this before, but I'd like to know the recording chain of your vocal, as it works very well.

Thanks, Lynn!

Not sure what you mean by the 'recording chain,' but I'll do my best...

• Electro-Voice ND 457 mike - a holdover from the Eighties and my all time favorite
• Mackie ProFX6 v3 mixer
• TDR Kotelnikov VST for mastering
• BREVERB 2 VST for, well, reverb

I hope that tells you what you want to know.

I upped the bass, re-sung a few vocals and tinkered with the mix.

Sounds good Barry, very smooth song.
