Lynn Wilson Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Fantastic song, John! The arrangement is very sophisticated, and your vocal was right there on the money. Yes, your bass track is way cool, though I wonder if some of your lines could be an octave lower for great frequency range. It might ruin the vibe, but I'm just curious. Anyway, chalk another hit up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verb on flute is actually from the Reason Rack plugin. Their stock half rack reverb Thanks, Tommy.? 24 minutes ago, Lynn Wilson said: Fantastic song, John!

bjornpdx Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Hi John, I don't think I'll ever warm up to the genre you do but I certainly respect the musicianship and esp your lyric writing ability. Love that flute! -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPAREELS Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Almost sounds like part of an Andrew Lloyd Webber story. There's a lot going on in this work and having listened to your stuff over the years you have achieved a near perfect vibe for that work. I think the flute plus verb sounds great ... Me wants it ! Thanks for the post John and well done Take care Steve ( SRM ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Smithe Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Nice track John, strong songwriting, and musicianship. Vocals are good, only thing you might consider is they seem like they could sit in the mix better. Kind of loud and on top of things, which is no doubt crowding your headroom and preventing the instrumental mix from being brought up more. Overall, great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 The arrangement is strong and the tones you've got for the bass and drums work nicely together. But the lyrics are stealing the show. I would also add to a slight lowering of the lead vocal volume, and maybe just a bit more reverb on them, they really are on top of the mix. Your cool tune reminds me that it's better to be creative than to slavishly adhere to the rules. Nice one! cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I told Ross, I did a remix to lower the lead vocals a bit as per your suggestions. Please have another listen if you have time. ?John B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T. Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Great music there. Your vox are a bit more restrained for this one which does give it a bit more accessibility. Your songs are full of great turns and ideas. It's a bit long for me and the words are truly sad but, they describe emotions most all of us have experienced in one form or another???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markno999 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Very solid pop song, sounds to me like a little of Bread meets Steely Dan. Very cool arrangement and instrumentation. Regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
