One of your very best! Love it, and congratulations to Dave, too, for some superb guitar playing. Love the dark, lush minor key, and the lyrics ... it's hard (for me, at least) to pinpoint what the "secret sauce" is that makes this song so good, but it really is excellent. Well done, both!!!

Hi Marty,
Well I can tell you, no mixed signals from me (this time). It's a very good song you made, with a strong harmony towards the end and a fabulous solo from Dave. The lyrics are very nice and you sing it with all your heart. Who can compete with that?
These mixed signals clearly didn't confuse you!
Hans Sorry, Hans. What exactly are you trying to say? Haha. Thanks, man. nice song start..impressive.
lovely doubled vocs.
i really liked the backing band.
very nice subtle percussion/drums.
nice single strums on one side of the stereo.
yep great way to end the song.
EXCELLENT.
om
Thank you, OM. I started using more double tracking thanks to you and Guitarhacker Herb. Those are some powerfully good vocals, Marty, to go along with your always great bass, BiaB tracks and Dave’s smoky guitar goodness. You certainly came up with a good lyric and melody in a hurry. What’s your secret, please?  Really well done and the vid emphasizes the "difference" indeed. J&B Thanks, J&B. Hmmm nobody ever asked me the secret before, so I figured I didn't have one. So I'll pretend like I do and spill the beans right here. To get the most out of creativity, just stay out of the way and believe. Of course it doesn't hurt to get more inspiration from folks like you on this forum. Very good quality work. Nice vox and harmony. Guitars are smooth.
What's not to like? Thanks, Herb. Hey, I was just talking about you. All good, of course.

Great performance Marty. Your vocal is so assured - love the harmonies too.
Add in a very catchy hook and Dave Bell on guitar and you've got a winner.
Cheers,
Mike

Great tune, great vibe, great arrangement. Everything fits perfectly. Thanks, Byron!! Hi, Marty.
My first thought was "That's can't be a Band in a Box lead guitar!"[/i]. David did a great job on this.
Love the vocals, and the backing is perfect. Sounds awesome through my speakers. Thanks, David. My thought: that SHOULD be a BiaB lead guitar. Marty - this song, amongst other things, demonstrates how adding more "human" elements bring the BIAB stuff lo life.
Terrific vocal, terrific narrative.
Bass is DEEEEEP and grooves.
Dave's playing - yes, a lead player who is there to hear and respond to the song make a lot of difference.
Solid mix and not nits at all.
The lyric does point out a significant difference between Murcan & Strine: your say different than & we say different to, (a short cutting of "when compared to").
Excellent.
Thanks, Ray. Your knowledge of various things always astounds me, man. I had to look up "Murcan & Strine", and guess what. Your comment here was 2nd on the list of answers. Dude, even Google knows the best sources for knowledge. You're absolutely right about bringing in the human element to make the song more alive. Clever lyrics, clever write. Great use of the guitar and the organ fills which slot in really nicely.
Great job.
Thanks, AT! Yeah, I really like how so often the Biab players seem to know when to bring it out. That makes it so easy to mix.

This is Terrific... You guys make some really fine music.
Very impressive. Thanks, bloc-head. And right back atcha. One of your very best! Love it, and congratulations to Dave, too, for some superb guitar playing.

Thank you, James. It's the chemistry in loving what you do and doing it with someone who loves doing it as much. I can tell you love what you're doing too. [quote=Birchwood]Hi Marty,

Then jamming into the wee hours. Great performance Marty. Your vocal is so assured - love the harmonies too.

Thanks, Mike. Fortunately the harmony was in range, and more gratefully Dave Bell turned the song into something pleasing. Such a great song! It was a blast playing guitar on this one, thanks for the invite Thanks, Dave. You're the icing on a bland cake.

Great blues song. Dave's guitar, your bassline and the organ work really well together. The chording has nice minor feel painting the perplexity of the mixed signals.
The doubled vocals with increasing emotion at the end work really well.

Marty,
I would say this "fell" together quite nicely! It's kind of got a "Black Majic Woman" feel to it! I guess you can thank Dave's super guitar work for that assessment! Your vocals are so good here (harmony also)! I catch myself taking your excellent bass playing for granted sometimes forgetting it's you playing those parts because they are so solid every time! Great work!
Thanks, Torrey
