Listening to Floyd's song Eyes reminded me of an old song title- which sounds nothing at all like Floyd's excellent new work. It does however use an old MIDI style as the basis of the song which I have not heard used recently. https://soundcloud.com/peterf1957/she-burns-my-eyesStyle is WRLDROK2.STY (World Beat 2 - South African) As usual Leon wrote the lyrics and sang whilst I sang harmonies and played guitar. Originally written in 1998 and updated in 2004.

Ok. There's a lot to like about this. First, it's a well written song with a good chord progression and melody. I love the lead guitar work, the vocals and harmonies.
No nits about what you've done here but I say that to say this; We all like steak but many times we vary in how we liked it prepared and cooked. It's your song and it's cooked to your liking. If it had been mine to do, I would likely have likely cooked it differently. It's simply a matter of taste. I don't want to imply that I did not enjoy it, not the case at all. I'm a traditionalist type and even hearing songs on the radio, I constantly 'hear' a different way to arrange a song from the way it was done by professional singers, producers and session players. That's why they are on the radio and I'm not....

Peter,
I enjoyed that, everything about it was excellent. Leon has knack for lyrics and a great voice.
Love the feel of the backing; ska but not really ska if you see what I mean.
Great guitar solo.
Good stuff

Good beat that had me tapping my toe. Interesting vocal effect. I like your guitar playing and it blended well with the rest of the instruments. Enjoyable!

Charlie Sounds like that one didn't quite hit the spot for you. Was quite an old one and a bit different to what we usually do. Anyway - maybe next time.

Sonny Sonny Thanks - Can't really remember much about the layering of the vocals - only have the rendered file the SONAR version got lost in the mists of time.

I actually enjoyed the song as you've done it but was trying to say albeit poorly, that this is one of those songs that to me would work just as well performed in other styles. A rock song that because of the chord progression and elements of the melody would be equally successful and as big of a hit if it were recorded as a country song. An example is Michael Buble's Home, a pop hit, that was also a very successful country hit for Blake Shelton.

Peter/Leon,
That is a fun listen. I liked it.
You're right - a unique style... well done. I especially liked the vocal break with just the congas... and the background mmmm's...
Terrific beat to this. Still in my head...

P/L, This was very different from what I was expecting. I also liked the vocal break and the guitars sound good. An enjoyable upbeat listen. Tom

I like the music and the beat/groove.
I have a hard time making the title fit the rest of the lyrics. She burns my eyes.. that sounds like a bad thing...... then you say She's so beautiful..... the phrases don't agree and my mind can't make the connection. Just how I heard it on first listen. And first listen is critical to most listeners.
The vox treatment.... layered thick and with harmony is out of character with the island feel of the groove.... it's more at home with a southern gospel group of 4 guys singing 4 part harmony on a gospel song.
The dichotomy between those things kinda have me feeling ambivalent on this. The music rocks.... excellent job on that. Simplify the vocal to a single track and rework the lyrics slightly and this would be out freaking standing.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Peter. I think this is a real good pop song but not so keen on the vocal layering.
Wonder what it would sound like with a clean vocal? Enjoy Leon's voice though. Cheers.

Great vibe and great energy!! Love that pumpin' bass. Your guitar works great with the boys in the band. Very nice tune-very catchy!! Out of curiosity, is the 1957 your birth year? That's mine, and apparently more people were born in the US then than any other year. Take care. Greg
