What a tune! Love the groove on this, and your vocals are powerful and definitely a standout. A really pristine mine to boot. It sounds concise and professional. Thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Well done Chris37, this was wonderful! The arrangement is great to the ears and a solid key signature choice too. Good use of EFX on the guitar. The sax is an excellent choice to bring it all together. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Joe

Really nice. Google translate gave me a fair sense of what you were singing (albeit, also "lost in translation" funny at times). I love when those times come...when you just can't wait to get at it, musically. And you just can't wait to finish, either.
The chord-work and production were solid. Lots to like in this, and I enjoyed the listen very much.

Sounds good and the Young Americans era sax is a treat.
Melody is cool.
I'd suggest the vocal is sitting on top of rather than in the mix but that's probably a personal taste thing.

Hello Chris,
Love the retro sound! Good track choices for the band and a really good vocal.
I love the end of the second verse - like dragonflies swimming in the rain. That's great! Best to you.

Thank you Deryk, Joe, Tangmo, rayc and Alan.
I've written this song 35 years ago and with Band-in-a-Box, it was a marvelous opportunity to give a second life to it. Christian

"Chris 37"... What...what's this I hear? Could it be f-f-f-funk? You better know it! Bluesy? Lord, yes! Hard-driving? Awww, yeah, baby! You knocked me out of my headphones with this one! This is a bad-[*****] piece of musical work, "Chris 37", and you sing it like you mean it. Your chord progressions are wicked, the electric guitar solo is sky-high, and the rhythm section makes the ground shake. I'll subtitle this the "French Oye Como Va"  !!! Excellent use of Band-in-a-Box's resources, "Chris 37". If you had performed this in a nightclub, passerby in the street would have come in to "jam" on it. Lead on, LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")

Hi Loren,
I do not have Carlos Santana's talent but it's an honour for me that you compare my song with " Oye como va ". Thanks for your comments. Christian

Christian, a very nice track! I enjoyed your selection of the RT instruments and I really liked the chord changes underneath the solo sections..it seemed slightly different than other parts of the track. Please include a sense of the lyric! Thanks for sharing your work!

Hi Tom,
It's not easy to translate the lyrics. There are a lot of metaphors and word plays ! For example, letters with their ink have like blood in their veins. Notes are night owls and go swimming like dragonflies swimming in the rain. Revealing its entrails, the song
appears......

Very nice!
It was a pleasure listening and we are glad you revived it!
Everything in the mix sits very well on our monitors and the vocal is excellent.

Thanks Janice and Bud,
A song never dies and it's always exciting to make a new version 35 years after its creation. Christian

A very original use of RealTracks Christian. A foot tapper, and the sax part is just right. The blend of sounds made me think of how a 'Hot Club de Paris' might sound today!

Chris,
It is the fist time to hear such a sound like this from you.
And I understood the reason.
It is your young song.
It is very interesting to know your music life started from the experience of making such a song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

J&B Hi Chris, I have to agree with Janice and Bud's post above. This was definitely worth reviving and you've given a great presentation! All the best, Noel

Thanks John, Shigeki and Noël.
Who knows ? Perhaps, in 35 years, I will make a new version of this song ! Christian

Very good song, Chris!
Did I understand the last part of the second verse correctly?
"Some night owls on a trip for the night,
like dragonflies bathing in the rain."
Nice!
Will

Hi Will,
You're right !
Some notes are night owls and take a trip for the night,
like dragonflies bathing in the rain.
