Yes to the vocals, and I think they could be a smidge louder in the mix, unless my headphones are suppressing the midrange, in which case nevermind.

I got an Alan Parsons vibe which I quite liked! 

Video-wise I found myself wondering, how do these different people know each other??? :) I think less people helps us build our own narratives. Maybe?

cool tune!

cheers,

Hi Tom - thanks for this - i take your point re the video, but I made this video out of pre-recorded clips, so you are somewhat restricted with what you can and can't do.  

Cheers

Nigel . . . another very strong song and recording ! Drums are very upfront, helps to drive it along.

I also would prefer the vocal louder a bit on my speakers, but on my headphones they work very well.

Yes, the vocal performance, and the recorded vocal treatment are a treat to listen to, it's got just the right amount of subtle effect on it, certainly isn't overdone.

Great stuff as always !

Any song that makes the furry paws tap involuntarily has to have a  groove. A groove that works its way into the furry brain and triggers the paws to tap along even if they do not realise they are. 

That Snare really digs in with its persistence, no it is fine it does what it should do, it drives the song with the same push.

I like, very cool tune Nigel :) No I did not watch the video, perhaps I will comeback and do so.

Hi Wookie my friend - hope you got around to watching the video, but I'm really honored that this song got the furry paws tapping!!! really appreciate your time and making a comment

Keep well

Nigel

Hi Nigel....i must say the songs you post aren't in my current wheelhouse (really, who the hell does ambient pop music but me???? ? ) so i usually don't comment, but without a doubt, all the songs you post here are highly melodic with great vocals, playing, production and are virtually ready for market....my subjective nitpicks on A Slender Thread are a few seconds here and there where maybe the drums can be tightened up a tad, overall, great work on the music as well as the video....cheers!! ????

This is an outstanding piece of work!!  I am talking about both audio and video.  The Fx on the vocal give a real dreamy effect to the lyrics and song!  My son is an animator for Sony (a rigger) and he tries to explain to me how things are done.  It mystifies me.  I am also transfixed as to the quality of your videos and how they blend with the music and lyrics.  Absoflippinlutely, great production and performances!!!

Hi Freddy

Wow thanks so much for those fantastic comments - can't tell you how much I appreciate them

Cheers

Nigel

Nigel! 

Great tune all around. Loved the long reverbs and the use of the long notes on the bass synth (I wasn’t expecting that)

Loved the way you panned out some elements and placed them way in the background. Some can barely be heard but they’re definitely felt. They create tension without clutter. That’s hard to do in Rock. 
 

Good stuff. Thanx for sharing it with us  

 

 

HI Miguel

Thanks for taking the time to have a watch and make such great comments -

Thanks

Nigel

Sounds great.  I bet it took a while to get that video together!

Hi Steve

Glad you liked the video - yes they always take some time, but it seems to be the only way to promote these days!

Cheers

Hi

Thanks so much - yes always the main decision (and the most difficult)  I feel is volume of Vocals - too loud, too much up front - not loud enough, you cant hear them properly!!

Cheers
