Hans, I listened to this a little while ago and thought for sure that I commented. I must have gotten distracted. This is really good! Dave’s guitar work is spot on as usual and I liked the impassioned vocal. The mix sounds great. Good job, I enjoyed it, Tom

“Dave's sizzling guitar and your impassioned vocal puts in the top tier.”
We completely agree with Ezekiel’s comment above.

Yea for Teamwork!

The write, the choice of tracks, your vocal and Dave’s solo all are outstanding ... the complete package.

The mix sounds great on our monitors and Janice said likewise on her AirPods.

Aren’t you glad you revisited this 2018 song? smile

Good one!
Actually an excellent one smile And you know we love the blues.

Oh yeah Hans! This song has a great sound. You couldn't have gotten a better guitar picker for this song - it has Dave Bell written all over it. The mix is great and your vocals hit the mark sooo well. Great collab with the writing - and that back track to the song was terrific. Really good!

Hi TM, Ray and Scott,

Thanks a lot for your posts or second posts.
I'm very pleased with the nice words in them.

TM, yes when Dave came in, and the lyrics had some corrections, the song was far better than the title suggested...

No need for ambivalence mate, you wrote the thing & produced a cool song. The input of forum members merely added a little to help the already cool song achieve even more of its potential.
I know you prefer to post a "complete" work but you also know that I rarely do, as I value the input of forum ears.


Ray, those chimes had become a huge eyeopener for me. Didn't know al those years what I actually sang.
But you, vic and Dave did a really good job and you are right. This help is also what the forum can be useful for! Thanks for that.

Scott, very kind of you. but maybe both of you can play a duet on one of my next songs. Two leads playing along... That would be something, don't you think?

I hope you all will have some very nice days the coming time. And we'll meet in 2023! (or somewhere on the forum these days),
Hans

Hi David, Ezekiel, Janne and Floyd,

I found my song back on page 3. That means I am late with my replies.
And that's true, but I had a cold too. And there was a soccer championship in Qatar, but we've been kicked out.
So here I am. Thank you for your very kind words on the altered song.

Hi David, you're right, however, wintertime is even better for Blues. Dark times...
Glad you liked it all!

I don't care what that Dave Bell fellow says, I like the guitar solo! smile


Hi Ezekiel, I have to respond with 'wow' for these compliments! And yes, I had to get used to his solo too...

Nice story with thorns and roses. Good selection of other instruments, the drums are nicely mixed. I like your laid-back vocal performance.

Janne


Hello Janne, (just for the sake of variation I use 'hello'here instead of 'hi') for your message, a 'wow' is also the right response. Thanks! But I think you forgot some people... ;-)

REALLY like this.

Your Best Ever.

Hi Floyd, your reaction also is worth a 'wow'! The only minor line is you called it my best ever. The song was from 2018. I think that one has yet to come...

I wish you all a merry christmas,
Hans

Hans,

I don't know what the original version sounded like, but this sounds great! This really reminds me of a slower version of the Stones "Miss You" for some reason! Adding Dave's part really makes this song take off! It sounds really good! Your vocals are excellent! You can't go wrong taking advice from Ray and Vic! They always are on top of their game! It's a super sounding track!

Thanks, T

Hans,
Fantastic work on this bluez. Good energy & vocals. Dave's guitar is stellar. Clear mix and listens very well. One of your best production as far as sound goes. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

P.S. The BGVs feel a bit synthetic. Did you had a soft heart moment and didn't fire them, leaving working part time?

Hi Tommy, Janice and Bud, Robert and Firesong,

A little late (again) with my reply, but I really enjoyed your posts.
I read them all right after you sent them.

Hi Tommy, you were not distracted I quess. You were astonished at what you heard! and then you forgot all you were doing or had to do. I imagine this happened to you. It happens to some around me too, every now and then. And now more seriously: thanks for your nice compliments. I was glad that Dave was in the situation he could play with me. He was in the middle of another song, but had to wait for something. And then he played this one!

Hello Janice and Bud, a very nice comment from you! Yes, after all I was glad with the comments I got on the previous version. Well... a mixed feeling, but it tuned out excellent! And compared with the version from 2018, I'm surely glad I did it, with the help of the forum! The lyrics at that time were a bit strange. I'm glad I could alter them properly (and I'm aware I create a great risk for myself saying that the former lyrics were a bit strange...).
Thanks for listening on the boomboxes AND on the Airpods. Now I know the sound was alright :-)

Hi Robert, I didn't know you also like Blues (joke). Thanks for the nice compliment!

Hello Firesong, thanks for your nice words! And yes, Dave is good. Everyone tells him that, and rightly so! And I hope my vocals will stay the way you described.

I wish you all a very nice and creative day!
