This track works on just about every level. Pleasant groove, excellent guitar solo, and admirable consistency in the vox volume levels (something I rarely, if ever, achieve). Are those harmonies recorded live or automated?

I really like the wah guitar.

Good vocals - especially the harmonies. Love the "dit"s, too!

Dave does some tasty playing on the solo! laugh

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

The band is good and I like the expressive vocals.

Dave sounds great on the solo as does your bass.

Top notch work.

Thanks. Peter. Much appreciated.

Good choice of style. It all fits together nicely.


Thanks, AudioTrack. Yeah, I had to change styles for the dreamy bridge.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Marty.

This is really excellent listening.

You've done a super job creating this and putting it together.

The first thing that captured my attention was the syncopated bass line. After that, you'd hooked me and I was with you all the way with 100% attention. Love Dave's contribution, too.

Great stuff!

All the best,
Noel

Ahhhh, that buttery Bass!! Love it!!

Dave shines, of course.

A Terrific Listen! Much enjoyed.

Thanks so much, Floyd. Really really appreciated. I like to think the next one will be my best. hehe

Misha.

Thank you, Misha. Hope to see you next Monday.

Great writing - and your infectious enthusiasm carries through in the voice. Great job!!! :-)

Thanks, James. I was somewhat inspired by you and your ability for key and chord changes.

Thank you, Moto. We bassists are surely used to folks not even knowing we're there --until we stop playing. hehe

OOoo, it's so good!

Marty, what a cool lyric and a powerful lead vocal you have here.
We love the tight Beatles sounding harmonies and the wah wah is making Janice smile. (I'll be hearing her wah wah impersonations all day!)

And that hook!

As always, Dave's guitar and your bass are excellent, as is the production and the mix.

Fun video too!

Enjoyed it,

J&B

Thanks, Brian. Yes, those harmonies were just about the top of my old-man range. And, hey, I never heard any inconsistency in your vocals. Always a pleasure.

Thank you both, Rob and Anne-Marie. I just heard someone who got a copyright claim on YT because of a "royalty-free" pic from pixabay. Still, they usually supply what's needed, although I wish their search engines were better and not designed to take us to a pay site.

Excellent blues, nice title and how nicely it has turned into a complicated relationship song.
Really enjoyed your singing, 'oooo' sound very nice. Catchy chorus, interestingly it doesn't sound like normal blues chorus, but it surely works. And then the bridge is even something else, clever moving outside the box.
Great instrumentation, on the first listen I thought that Dave was playing that nice solo, and yes he was! The wah wah guitar works very well. Very creative song and video.

Marty,

Great job on this Marty! Your vocals are excellent! I think that title is a clever use of words! That chorus is catchy for sure! Love that change up with bridge! I didn't have to look at the description to know that the solo was performed by Dave! His style and tone are unmistakable and great! Enjoyed it! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Marty and Dave

How come I missed this song?
Till now!

I was puzzling about the title of your song, while watching your very nice video.
Then I went to your SoundCloud page and there it was; the title made no sense (your words).
Well I wrote there, the song does! And I can add here, the video too (some tiny mistakes in the lyrics, like a missing 'r' in the beginning and 'to' to much 2 times: I'm a son of a teacher...)!

Nice song, very nice harmony and a impressing solo from Dave.
The lyrics were both funny and serious and there was a nice link to the images in the video.
Well done!

Hans

Thanks, Torrey! Right? Dave has a remarkable signature and I'm thrilled he often signs his style to my songs.

Hi, Hans. I had abandoned this song on the forum in favor of my newer one, but this morning there are too many comments to let it slide. I hate being the guy with 2 songs on the first page mainly because I actually prefer hearing others. I, too, am normally pedantic about those kinds of things. But I'm a son of a salesman so I learn to make up ways to make things fit. hehe So I've since some to grips with the title by saying, "I think he is saying, 'At least tonight I will see you in the morning, but who knows what tomorrow may bring.'" AND I didn't use a question mark because rhetorical questions don't always need a question mark. Man, Hans, we would have a good time together for sure.


Enjoy whatever happens!
