Hi Joanne,
The Beatles!! What a great compliment! Thanks for listening smile
I just love to do harmonies, and this song was made for it!
See you around

nice chords and nice voice too right for this kind of music

It remembers me a style like "the Byrds" sound.

Very well.

Hello.


Sergio,
Thanks for your kind commenting and the Byrds comparison. They were masters in harmonies!

Great vocals and harmonies.
Especially liked the bridge.
Nice guitar playing.

Yep Guenter,
Paul must have lost it somewhere smile
I am a great fan of McCartney, in and after his Beatles days.
So... thank you very much!!!

I liked the homo sapiens picture grin We had an initial drawing, but never used, for my old band CONMEN!!! but the other way round laugh
Alyn


Hi Alyn,
The Rutles! I loved their movie. I didn't know they had a fan page though, thanks for the link.
Funny we had the same idea of a band picture all those years ago.
See you!

The song sounds solid in every way. We especially like the backing vocals! Really features that 60's/70's sound.
Funny to see your song's specifics in Dutch!

Rob and Anne-Marie


Rob and Anne-Marie
Thank you both for your kind comments. You are such great backing and lead vocalists, that this compliment to me is HUGE smile
The dutch specifics add something exotic to our BIAB entries, don't they?

Will,
You can carry a tune, you can enhance your confidence with some auto tune software, and then... just do it! You have got the skills!

The vocals are just perfect and you've got a great balance between the lead vox and the harmonies.

Everything hangs together in the mix and the track plays really LOUD without sounding over-compressed which is the sign of good engineering.

Wonderful song!

ROG.


Rog,
thanks four your comments, especially on the engineering part. You are a master in production, so I value this greatly. On my last one, Heaven and Hell, I over-compressed the piano. There is much to learn, and I'm learning with every song, thanks to your, and our fellows contributions

Stellar vocals. Nice, simple guitar solo that fits the song perfectly.

Several listens. It deserves that.

T O P.... N O T C H

(Great mix, too!)

Stellar!

floyd


floyd jane...
I'm really, really humbled reading these comments...
I bought BIAB in december, just to revive some old songs. However, this is becoming much larger than just a hobby. For the moment I still use older songs, or idea's to practice with BIAB. But new material will be arriving next year or so. For the moment there still is so much to learn and I certainly don't feel like I'm up there... yet smile
So please, keep the songs and the comments coming, I'm learning with each of everyone's contributions.
Thanks for investing your time!

Fred

Tom,
thank you for listening and commenting. Your comment on the guitar solo is flattering, I'm glad with it. On my solo's, I'm just trying to stay within my limits smile
See you around

Thanks for taking time to listen, comment and support. I'm also a fan of that Brit rock sound.

And it kicks on my monitors!

There's a huge amount to like here.

Janice and Bud,
It's always a great pleasure seeing you commenting on my work. You're to kind smile I love what you both do, and I am learning from your top productions.

Hello Richard,
Thanks for passing by.
I do spend quite some time on a song production, but loving every minute arranging and mixing.
The storm did not do to much damage? It was on the news here.
See you around

I didn't read any of the former posts.... so...

This is cool... it has a British style guitar rock band sound.

Badfinger comes to mind as the influence I hear in this.

The vocal harmonies are especially well done.

Nice work on the solo guitar. Well done.

Hi Herb,

With the Badfinger comparison, you're in good company with Floyd ☺
