So Much Love

Love the horns Barry,
These are thoughts as the track is playing:
shorten the intro (its 5:12 there's some fat)
lose the "droning" horn in the right can in the second verse; its not supporting the vocal, its just distracting)
With a little "judicious" editing we could get the "single" down to 3:15 ish?, I think...

I'll hold the like here and at SC for the final mix, as always great songwriting.

Terrific song, Barry!  I do agree with John's evaluation about shortening the song, and the one thing that stood out to me was the high trumpet.  I wonder if it might be more impactful if you did it an octave lower.  It cuts through, but is weak in its delivery in spite of being loud.  I say this as an ex trumpet player in a soul band (high school).  Otherwise  this is one to be proud of.

John? John who? ?
I always hold back a bit because some are prone to "running" with every "suggestion" they get; and end up chasing their tail all over hell's half acre.
But, Barry is a "mature" songwriter, and he'll ignore me anyway; and that's fine.
I'm a "three minute rocker". (get in and get out...)

Sorry, Tom, my bad?

One of the nice things about not having a record contract is I can make my songs as long as I want. ?  Sorry guys, not shortening this one. Been down that road.

Someone above asked what horns I used. Two guys! A trumpet player and a sax player.

As for the screaming trumpet, that was sort of a Sunstone hallmark from back in the day.

Getting ready to pull the trigger,  after all.

Beautiful, Intro is sublime. Just my brain, at about 27sec when it drops in, my mind is telling me something but i don't know what, maybe just acoustic with no bass for split second or a pause to a slide down on bass with acoustic comes in, silly i know might be just me. There a couple similar places like this where there could be the split second pause for a big hit for greater emphasise, don't get me wrong love the production, it tick a long nicely and you probably tried it, but sometimes these gaps work or don't.  I am only nit picking because you asked haha great work
