Really cool song!! Great vocal, great arrangement! I really like returning to the soloed guitar. I hear a little Roy Orbison on the word "blue". The one thing that hits me kind of funny is when the drums come in without a fill beforehand, and stop abruptly at time. Great work! Take care. Greg

I think Greg's on the something with the Roy Orbison - and that's always a good thing. In fact I could've just +1 on his comments and saved myself some typing....

This is great. I like it a lot Robert.

Oh and hats off for doing the 50/90 - one of these I'm going to have to try it.

Good job Robert. Plus one from me too. I will agree that "blue' may sound a bit like Roy Orbison but to me the structure of the song and lyrics have the feel of a Paul McCartney composition. Enjoyed the song.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, much appreciated! thanks Greg for pointing out about the drums, when I finally have time I will put a fill in before the drums come in; During the 50/90 not much time for alterations.

Heh. I was thinking it was a bit barren, and then the drums caught me by surprise.

Fun song, and ditto with the Roy Orbison vibe.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
