Hello Folks,
The chaps who collaborated with me on this provided some video to build on to accompany the song.
Stephen actually provided a video that could/would/should be all that is needed but I embellished it a little:

ray,

Cool video. The track sound comes across well on YouTube.

Stephen's spinning in the shadows effect is very cool. A clever way to do vocals for a video...

Ray, this is great. I really liked your vocals and lyrics. The video was super. The backing tracks were spot on.

This is really a great song!

Oh my, this is wonderful. Love to know what setup you used in BiaB. Music and words are wonderful. Thanks for the share.

Very effective work on the video! Sounds great too, better than I remember it sounding on soundcloud.

Ray & Crew,

Good deal! Video was fun. Finished watching, Stephen still spins in my head smile

The song came out better than I initially thought. I like the sound of Youtube version better than previous on Soundcloud. Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Hi Ray,

this is, again, a very 'rayish' video which means that it's most remarkable AND I LIKED IT A LOT !!!!

I especially like the effect you used on Stephen and although I've done quite a bit in that field I don't have the slightest idea how you did that. Would you reveal the 'secret' ?

Great, great job, Ray, really good !

All the best for 2020,

Stefan

Great video guys...
I always look forward to your interesting videos...
Like Stephan (Crossroads)...
You seem to put a lot of thought, effort, & planning into them.

BTW:
As I listened to your song again...
I couldn't help but notice a dark similarity to Eleanor Rigby...
I think Eleanor Rigby would have sounded closer to your composition...
If it had been written by John...
Just a thought...
That puts you & Stephen into some pretty high company smile

Wrayer,
the BIAB components are Real Drums, real Track organ ( rendered to mono so it's easier to mix) and Real Track cello with an overdrive VST to help it "cut" a little better.
The rest is Stephen singing and me playing 12 string Rickie knock off, a Squire Mustang and a Vantage bass.
Secret Ingredient...$30 Spring Reverb pedal.

Thanks Blue,
It's full wav in the production of the vid and a different master - one that serves the Utub lord better.

Misha, thank you.
yes the sound quality is better - started from .wav and it's a different master.
Stephen came up with a great idea in the spinning.

The Stephen special technique is him holding his phone above himself and spinning around on his chair using his heel for propulsion. Tiring I suspect, but effective!
Thanks for your kind words.

Once Stephen sent me his video based on his idea the rest was DEAD EASY. It's all down to that fellow.
As to the JL reference - I'll take that and put it in a secret spot to drag out & look at when I'm in a rut.

Man, that sound great. I'm not sure my ears can discriminate it
but the YT version seems a tad more "open."

The obvious thought and work you put into the vid
yielded an excellent result.

After Jim mentioned JL we looked at each other and
said, "yeah!" It is definitely in there. Cool.

Very well crafted.
Excellent tune congrats to all.
