Hi James,
that's very nice. Beautiful lyrics (like usual) and a wonderful backing track. Loved the idea of the sax soloing behind your speaking.
Cheers,
Stefan

James,
A nice, simple lyric. A nice musical bed and the sax works well.
(vocal is a bit "boom-y" on this one).

Nice backing tracks and super lyrics. That sax adds a lot of atmosphere.
I think the vocal should be a tad louder.
You don't need a new mix. Mess around with EQ on your vocals.
James you're getting better with each post!

James,
Nice driving start to this—really like the intro. And it’s a nice write as well. From a production standpoint—and it’s just a suggestion and nothing you need to change by any means—I might hold back on the vibes (or act least what I think are the vibes based on the RTs you cited—could be an electric piano) and mix them in more selectively. And I say that simply because what you have going in the intro is strong enough, for me at least, to carry the song throughout, with the vibes accentuating rather than leading. Nice job on the sax addition. I think that works really well. Nicely done!
My kindest regards,
Deej

Dear Mr. Delsono...
Your latest post is unique and affecting, a musical letter in told in rhyme.
The Real Style you chose -- _PASSING.STY (Passing Slow Dramatic Indie Pop) -- is something I've never heard before. The Real Tracks in the style are the perfect accompaniment for your the lyrics -- warm in tone, such as the golden vibes, and the quietly intertwined play of the acoustic and electric guitars. The fluid, resonant bassline along with the laid-back, almost ceremonial beat of the drums provides a nice dramatic contrast. However, I don't see a description of the saxophone Real Track you used.
As I consider the songs you've shared with us, I believe you're carving out a distinctly personal niche and sound/feel for yourself in the forum -- spoken word poetry backed by music -- that summons memories of 'the beat generation'. You're becoming a finely articulate narrator of what's going on in your heart of hearts, and you do it with a gentleness of spoken expression and an intensity of meaning that makes it memorable.
Here's to your developing musical personality as it manifests itself in the User's Forum!

Blueage's comments are always so articulate and thoughtful AND hard to follow!
The song is both sad and soothing...seems counterintuitive but works extremely well.
Nicelyl done and the sax was a great idea!

Oh my word - thank you. Where to start?
Mario: thank you. Yes, I can sort things out by messing around with EQ on my vocals, but this mic is ALWAYS boomy, which means I ALWAYS have to compensate with EQ. Still ... nothing to complain about :-)
rayc: thanks for listening! I'll try to sing next time, haha ... it's your fault if I cause a riot in the neighbourhood, though ;-)
Greg: thanks for such nice words!
Deej: yes, holding back on the vibes is a great idea, I think! I've not got much time for revision, unfortunately ... but, the moment I do, I will play around with the idea and see what happens! Thanks for the suggestion!
bluage: thank you ever so much. Your feedback is as kind as it is articulate, thoughtful and perceptive. To be even mentioned in the same breath as the Beat Generation is of course an immense compliment to me! It's, of course, putting whatever talent I may have in an extremely flattering light - however, you have made my day with that comment and I shall genuinely treasure it, no matter how little I may deserve it :-) The greatest thing about your comment, for me, is how well you understand my lyrical and musical intentions. That's the best thing, for me, because it means that I've made myself understood to someone other than myself. Thank you so much, therefore, for taking the time to articulate these thoughts of yours, yourself ... truly, truly, truly appreciated. I will look for the saxophone track and let you know what it was, soon as I manage to plug in BIAB again! :-)
Janice & Bud: thank you for listening! Really appreciate your time and your such kind comments!
