Sad Song (new version)

[equality]

Tried to accomplish some MoTown-vibes with the help from VHorns and Chris Hein brass. 

Kudos to Meter who worked hard on remixing and mastering this one!

Glad you liked it. Thanks!

Sounds good, clean mix. Enjoying the horns a lot. Nice choice of instruments. Nice mood. The lead vocal is a little off now and then, but sounds good otherwise. Mission accomplished!

Thanks a lot treesha! Hopefully there will be another vocalist soon on this one. 🙏

Cool and well written song. I've always been a MoTown fan and this fits in Nicely.

If you are looking for any suggestions ..  I'd pull a little out of the vocals around 1k and put it on the drums..  

Enjoyed it ..   mark

This was a wonderful surprise in my morning! Great song idea, and your instrumentation is credible. The lyrics are nicely elevated above the usual clichés. Very well done.

For me, I got zero motown and 100% 70's James Taylor!  ☺️

You might cut the end solos a bit to bring the vocals back in one more stanza at the end. Fade out, some girls ooooooh-waaahing, you know, proper 1974. Loved it.

Thanks a lot Mark! There is a guy, Meter, who did a whole new remix and master. I linked to that one in the OP.

James Taylor! Awesome, I love his songs. Your ideas are very tempting and I will investigate.

New version, remix and new master by Meter in the OP.

[treesha]

This version sounds richer if I remember the first version correctly. Yes Kudos.

Thanks treesha for coming back to this one. Yes, a fuller sound to my ears as well.

Seems more like Van Morrison genre to me.
Wonderful song, enjoyed it a lot. The mix is super clear which my decrepit ears appreciate. The ending is bit abrupt.
Great job on this.

From the Sound Cloud comments I gather you're Swedish?

Right, the intention was something related to Van the man's Days like these. Very glad you liked it. Swedish, right. Your name looks very Swedish or Norwegian to me. 🙂
